After nearly 20 years on the platform, The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) says it is leaving X. "This isn't a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue," the digital rights group said. "The math hasn't worked out for a while now." From the report:

You'll get taken to a random community. Once you arrive there's a link at the top of the page to /r/random so you can just hammer away at that until you get somewhere that's the right combo of random and interesting.

Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

I wanted to share this open-source alternative to Spotify/YouTube Music for Android that I found. It's ad-free and VERY CUSTOMIZABLE. This definitely deserves so much MORE recognition. https://github.com/koiverse/ArchiveTune

TL;DR: link to sites. link to communities. don't just post content, but more importantly make people aware that the community exists.

A consortium consisting of multiple interested parties including Murena, i.e. /e/ OS, iodéOS, and Volla, is working on an open source alternative to the Google Play Integrity API, which is to be offered on smartphones that are not running a Google-certified Stock ROM.

On Mastodon, if you have an account on instance X, you can follow someone who is on instance Y. It creates a connection: X -> Y. If there are a lot of such follows, weight of this edge will increase, attractive force between points will be higher.

For the past month a variety of lem.cochrun.xyz accounts have been spamming religious posts (all linking to christianpicturesblog.blogspot.ca) to a variety of unrelated Lemmy communities. Unless @forgetstoshave@lem.cochrun.xyz has an alternative explanation, the posts are likely all from one or a select few lem.cochrun.xyz users seeking to evangelize their beliefs across the Threadiverse, using sock puppet accounts to evade bans.

Krita 5.3/6.0 is the result of many years of work by the Krita developers. Some features have been rewritten from the ground up, others make their first appearance.

New York’s state budget could pass within days. Buried deep in the text is a provision that has nothing to do with balancing the books. Part C of the budget bill would require every 3D printer sold in New York to run surveillance software that scans every design file you create, and blocks anything an algorithm flags as a potential firearm component . A separate provision would expose researchers, journalists, and educators to felony charges simply for possessing or sharing certain design files.

Let's party ! Spread the word to the threadiverse ! :3

Release: 9.7 [10 Apr, 2026] New features

I am currently working on a crossplatform browser for the fediverse, which will allow you to unify identities from mastodon, bluesky, and anywhere else across the open/decentralized social web into a single feed for easy browsing and management. It will also serve as a highly customizable and feature rich fediverse client, allowing profile and client theme customization, as well as groups, rss subscriptions, and several other features I've yet to fully flesh out.

"An open-source communications hardware & software initiative empowering the public to connect across the world by bouncing signals off the Moon"

I've been thinking a lot about the Fediverse ALT issue.

Mastodon has received a 600k grant by the Sovereign Tech Agency, and Surf has launched.

Publicly Run Social Media – A Solution for Europe?

Catodon is a new Sharkey/Misskey fork (Edit: sadly with AI code contributions).

Hely everyone!

Only found them by coincidence ;)

[IMAGE ALTERNATIVE TEXT: “Unfinished Projects - In solidarity we can build a future that benefits us all."]

there is a site called "fedimap" which displays approximate physical locations for each fediverse instance. super cool if you want to connect to people irl and want to find physically close organizations :)

Thought this was really insightful and think more people should read this

After taking a lot longer than I was expecting to, I'm pleased to announce the results of the census we ran earlier this year!

We have launched our wiki and forum that is built around collaboration on Libre projects. The aim is to create a community built around genuine and lasting connections, where people can work together on various projects across various disciplines - from artists to software developers...we hope to create a hub for skill-sharing and project creation.

someone on Lemmy made a post recently about an app that checks which apps you have installed are open or closed source. i dont remember where it was posted, but i really want to know what it was called again. after searching online, on lemmy and even through AI i couldnt find it. please if someone knows what im talking about HELP

I built ActuFeed because I wanted a simple, distraction-free way to follow exactly the news sources I care about — without algorithms, ads, or tracking.

I’ll be totally honest and say that I don’t trust Evan (for reasons I’m not getting into), and I’m not sure why we need “hashtags with extra steps,” but I’d like to get opinions from people who are smarter than I am about this stuff.

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!

I've recently added anubis to lemmy.ml, and it seems to be working well.

so i've been searching for a long time for an image tagging software, there are some tools out there, some are electron based so no thanks, then there's Hydrus which is actually very similar to what this does, but the GUI is horrible and the installation is way more complicated. I created a docker compose file and I was running Blombooru in a few minutes. So if anyone was looking for something like this to organize their system, please give it a try because it is really good!

Tomorrow, April 12th, 0900 UTC-4, Works On My Machine Live!

Hey up. I am an anarchist and software developer of 20+ years and I really hate predatory ticket sales platforms that add junk fees and take money away from artists and spy on their users, so I built Chobble Tickets which is a fully free and open source (no open core / premium features / corporate licenses) ticket sales app.

On AI and place, and how Mastodon gives tools to create communities at the instance level, but people experience 'place' at the federation level.

The 6.11 release for Qt Framework is now available, with improved performance, newly supported techniques and capabilities on graphics, connectivity and languages, not to mention a whole new approach to asynchronous C++ coding.
