On #Friendica I can make an account like a Facebook Page, subscribe to my RSS feed of my Wordpress page, and post that content as if the account was posting it.
Can I do the same in #hubzilla or #streams ?
#fediadmin A reminder that #ofcom is a private for profit business connected with the British royal family, and which is funded from big tech, and which is given special rights by the UK government to regulate, but isn't actually law, but policy around commerce. If you don't have a server based in the UK and a registered business in the UK, then they have no jurisdiction over you. Please don't be manipulated into complying with fascism. #fedi #fediverse #fediblock DO NOT CENSER THE UK
Got some questions for Fedi admins, regardless of service (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, Misskey).
Do you make backups of your instance? How frequently?
Do you do hourly backups? Daily? Monthly?
Do you "expire" backups (e.g. expire daily backups until you have one per month after month 3)
Most importantly, do you ever *TEST* these backups by failing over to a backup?

I’ve tried many options — from someone else’s server to a VPS to manage hosting to a Raspberry Pi on my desk — and though I enjoy tinkering, it’s nice to know that there is a server I can rely on consistently with no administrative overhead or maintenance considerations on my part.
If you’re considering running your own fediverse instance, but don’t know whether a VPS or Managed Hosting is the right option for you, check out this video: https://video.canadiancivil.com/w/ko89PiALpK9zh6GGua35Kf

I would like to give a massive hug and big shout-out to @neil , who is putting in incredible amounts of effort to understand Octom's OSA (Online Safety Act) and to figure out how it applies to the fediverse, and then relaying that information to us.
If you're an instance admin - even if you're not based in the UK, but *especially* if you are based in the UK - follow him, give him lots of treats, and generally inundate him with adulation.
Thanks, Neil
Dansup (Pixelfed, Loops, and FediDB dev) 's treatment of Hazel, a dev that he excitedly announced was joining the Loops team only to later retract that and publicly berate her, catalogued here - https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/appendix/#behaviour - is gross.
Dansup's treatment of Tobi, developer of GoToSocial, and the GTS project in general, recently has also been gross - https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/113956125906236265

This dude just compared discussing abortion pills to a bomb threat.
What the fuck.

#Fediblock @ ginny@social.ginny.today for harassing and threatening a Fediverse developer.

Fucking ridiculous.
Grow up. This is why Fedi usability sucks.
Quizfrage: Wann habe ich auf dieser #Friendica Instanz für die #MariaDB #Jemalloc aktiviert? 😉
Erstaunt mich immer wieder, was das bringt.

While we were distracted by all the other crazy shit, Trump has started using the #FCC to pick away at #media organizations which could potentially spread information about his actions, as he said he would during the election.
Let's be clear, the #Fediverse is going to get hit by this eventually, as was predicted before the election. Every #FediAdmin should make contingency plans for when this happens. TechHub's was moving our server to Canada.
Be sure to keep backups and be ready to move quickly if you're going through a #US company.

Content warning:Fedi admin question re: noauthority.social
Friends, is noauthority.social a full on fash server or is it just incredibly badly moderated?
Trying to work out if I should bother poking their admin or just blocking them from my servers outright.
