Salut le Fediverse francophone 👋

Ces derniers jours, plusieurs pannes chez des opérateurs en France nous ont rappelé une chose simple : nos outils de communication dépendent de quelques infrastructures. En Iran, nous l'avons appris de la manière la plus dure. En 2026, pendant les coupures d'Internet, les SMS, le téléphone et même les messageries nationales sont tombés. Ce qui a tenu, ce sont les serveurs que nous avions préparés à l'avance : des relais Delta Chat/chatmail, Matrix, Jitsi.

Delta Chat fonctionne sur n'importe quel serveur e-mail ou relais chatmail, sans numéro de téléphone, et un profil peut utiliser plusieurs relais. Avec Madmail, monter un relais chatmail se fait en une seule ligne de commande. Plus il y a de petits relais et d'instances Mastodon communautaires, gérés par des gens qui se connaissent, moins tout repose sur un seul maillon.

Ce n'est pas de l'alarmisme. On prépare ces choses avant d'en avoir besoin, pas pendant la panne. Si vous avez un petit serveur, une asso, un hackerspace, pensez-y : un relais chatmail, une instance Mastodon locale, un Jitsi, et installez Delta Chat avec vos proches dès maintenant.

Avec solidarité, depuis l'Iran 💚

My GoToSocial instance at gts.snakepit.us now has open signups with manual approval. If you have ever wanted a quiet, hand-moderated corner of the fediverse, here is how joining works:

1. Fill out the form at https://gts.snakepit.us/signup. Pick a username, add an email, and write a few sentences about who you are and why you want in. The reason matters: it is what I actually review.

2. Your request lands in my moderation queue the moment you submit, and I approve or deny it by hand. No email verification loop, no waiting on a robot.

3. Once approved you sign in with your email and password and you are done. Use any fediverse app you like, or Sidewinder (gtsweb.snakepit.us), the client I built for the instance: installable PWA, push notifications, a catch-up digest for when you have been away, and full keyboard navigation.

What the instance is: small, on my own hardware at home, nightly backups, no algorithm, no ads, no tracking. I vouch for people one at a time instead of running an open door, which is exactly why the form asks for a reason. This is essentially what I have been doing for DMV.Community for years and it has worked well for keeping it peaceful and friendly here.

If that sounds like your speed, come join.

Moin aus #Hamburg!
Eine kleine #Introduction für mein persönliches #neuhier.
Nach fast viereinhalb Jahren bei Mastodon.social werde ich die Vorzüge des #Fediverse auf meiner eigenen kleinen Single-User-Instanz genießen.
Ich habe den Umzug nun eingeleitet und hoffe, dass alle mit rüberkommen.
Wer mich nicht mehr zuordnen kann: ich bin #Produktmanager, #Blogger und technikbegeisterter Hobby-#Fotograf mit einer Vorliebe für #Musik.

Themen bei mir sind #Technik, #Fotografie, #Blogs, #RaspberryPi & #Katzen. Gemischt mit allerlei Privatem, Lokalem und teilweise auch Politischem.
Ich freue mich auf eine weiterhin schöne Zeit im #Fediverse!

Wichtig! Heute ist Internationaler Tag der #Katastrophenvorbeugung

Welche Bedeutung hat dabei #Kommunikation?

➡️ Informationen von #Verwaltung #Feuerwehr @RKI #Polizei @thw @strahlenschutz & Co. sollten schnell, direkt, #datenschutz -freundlich & unabhängig an BürgerInnen kommuniziert werden. Hier sollte kein Algorithmus dazwischen stehen.

Viele Kommunen nutzen dafür eine #Fediverse-Instanz. Wie das für #Berlin aussehen kann, erklärt @floriankoenig

🎉 Morgen bin ich beim Medienkompetenzrahmen NRW dabei:
"Dezentrale Social-Media-Alternativen für Schulen #Fediverse"

Ich würde mir sehr wünschen, dass Schulen zu Orten werden, wo junge Menschen echte Alternativen kennenlernen, bevor sie von toxischen Algorithmen polarisiert werden.

Alt...

Screenshot der Website Dezentrale Social-Media-Alternativen für Schulen #Fediverse Referent: Sascha Foerster (Bonn.digital) Geeignet für Sek. I und Sek. II Ziel des Workshops ist es, Lehrkräfte mit dem Fediverse vertraut zu machen – einem dezentralen Netzwerk aus Social-Media-Plattformen wie Mastodon oder PeerTube, die ohne Algorithmen und Werbung auskommen. Die Teilnehmenden probieren praktisch aus, wie sie Inhalte posten, sich vernetzen und eigene Instanzen für Schul-Communities einrichten können. Vorwissen ist nicht nötig, ein Laptop oder Smartphone reicht aus. Diskutiert wird, wie solche Alternativen im Unterricht genutzt werden können, um digitale Souveränität zu fördern und gesunde Social-Media-Nutzung für Kinder und Jugendliche zu ermöglichen.
