Star wars meme. Empire soldier land to interrogate the retired general. "Mastodon? Really? Man of your talents?". He replies: "It's a peaceful life" From: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-a-peaceful-life "It's a Peaceful Life, also known as Really? Man Of Your Talents?, is a reaction image and image macro meme format using a scene from the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in which the character Galen Erso (played by actor Mads Mikkelsen) tells Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), "It's a peaceful life," after Krennic expresses pitiful shock that Erso is a farmer"

We followed some hashtags hoping they would give us a more organized feed. However, we still rarely see posts about #sustainability #farming #climatechange the #environment or #agriculture

Why is that? Are we missing something, or is there a better way to connect with people who share our interests and values on the #Fediverse if their posts are not appearing in our feed?

We would appreciate any advice from more experienced #Fediverse users.

Am 7. Juni ist es wieder so weit, wir veranstalten einen weiteren digitalen Unabhängigkeitstag!

15-19 Uhr in der @ro7 (Rothenburger Straße 7 01099 Dresden)!

Kommerzielle Plattformen sind auf möglichst große Empörung und viele Interaktionen ausgelegt. Deshalb erhalten rechte Inhalte auf TikTok, X und Co. immer mehr Reichweite. Ihr habt keinen Bock mehr auf diesen braunen Müll? Dann zieht jetzt den Stecker!

Kommt vorbei, helft mit und schickt euch nahestehende Menschen oder Organisationen vorbei die evtl. noch nicht den Sprung ins Fediverse geschafft haben.

Heute habe ich das erste Mal die Formulierung gelesen, daß das Fediverse/Mastodon „gemeinschaftlich betrieben“ wird.

Diese Wortwahl finde ich gerade für Einsteiger*innen viel besser, weil sie mir eingängiger und greifbarer erscheint, als „dezentral“ oder „föderiert“.

Ich werd zukünftig den Ausdruck „gemeinschaftlich betrieben“ bevorzugen, wenn ich Menschen das erste Mal vom Fediverse oder von Mastodon erzähle.

Wie siehst Du das? Hast Du in diesem Zusammenhang andere Formulierungen, die helfen? („gesellschaftsschonend“ fällt mir da zum Beispiel noch ein.)

Looking for someone to help moderate goingdark.social. Not because we're drowning in reports, but because I don't want to be the only person carrying that responsibility.

Honestly it could go a week or two without a single report. When they do come in, most are obvious spam and take under a minute. The main thing is just being around and reachable, so there's someone else who has eyes on things.

Good fit if you've been active here for a while and care about keeping this corner of the fediverse healthy. Plenty of time to learn the ropes. A good fit is more important than experience.

Ein horizontales Balkendiagramm auf weißem Hintergrund mit hellblauen, dunkelblau umrandeten vertikalen Balken. Die y-Achse auf der linken Seite zeigt numerische Werte in Fünftausenderschritten von 0 bis 25.000 (0, 5.000, 10.000, 15.000, 20.000, 25.000) mit dünnen, grauen horizontalen Hilfslinien. Die x-Achse am unteren Rand enthält keine Beschriftungen oder Datumsangaben, zeigt aber insgesamt 27 Balken, die von links nach rechts stark schwanken. Das Diagramm beginnt links mit einem niedrigen Wert, steigt wellenartig an, fällt im ersten Drittel auf den tiefsten Punkt ab, erholt sich in der Mitte wieder mit starken Ausschlägen und zeigt im letzten Drittel einen deutlichen, kontinuierlichen Aufwärtstrend mit den höchsten Werten des gesamten Diagramms ganz rechts (nahe der 24.000er-Marke).
