grenzland.club is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
People very rarely sign up for my tiny, specialized #Mastodon instance, but in the last few days I've had a string of seven accounts signing up. They all have normal-looking profile pictures and normal-sounding names, but I haven't seen much activity from them and they haven't responded to my greetings.
This makes me suspect they're bots of some kind, but I could be wrong.
#Fediverse
Yeah, turns out they're all bots. A few sign up each day, so I've had to enable a feature which means I have to manually approve all new accounts on my instance. Yaaay. This makes it more frustrating for real users to sign up, because they have to await my approval.
Once again, commercial forces are f---king up the free and open web. Thanks a lot.

#reboot is the necessary reset of the #openweb - stepping away from the dead ends of #techshit and #dotcons to rebuild digital infrastructure on human-centred, trust-based foundations, using tools like #activitypub and the #fediverse, guided by the #4opens.
"An island of loser misfit zealots." --John Gruber on fedi
We really should just use that as the slogan for fedi. The worst people you know call us names!

The problem isn’t that the #Fediverse has politics – it’s that people keep pretending it doesn’t, and then acting them out anyway in messy, unconscious ways. The #Fediverse – We need to now not fight like we always do https://hamishcampbell.com/the-fedivers-we-need-to-now-not-fight-like-we-always-do/
One of the most important texts if you wanted to get a #DiplomInformatiker (Computer Science) degree with emphasis on #TechnicalApplications in the mid 1990s at the #MunichUniversityOfAppliedSciences (#muas, now called #HochschuleMuenchen aka #hm). I wonder if anyone else in the entire #Fediverse shares that opinion? Or maybe even shared the experience? 🤣 #BoostForReach #TheNinetiesCalledAndWantMoreRespect
On the #OMN path, the #fediverse is the practical #reboot infrastructure of the #openweb - a decentralised network of interconnected, community-controlled networks built on #4opens standards like #activitypub, where no corporation owns the pipes, and where people and media flow across different instances.
@anhnguyennguyen Hey, willkommen im #Fediverse! 😎👍 Ich wünsche Dir gutes Gelingen im Studium und einen freundlichen Empfang in Stade.
Forget trad wives, the new influencer trend should be #NerdWives.
"Hey honey, I turned our old computer into a server so I could set up a #fediverse instance for our child and her friends."
"Hey all, today I am showing you #NextCloud as an alternative to #Dropbox and #GoogleDrive."
"Get ready with me! Today I am showing you how I check in with my friends with off-grid mesh radio first thing in the morning."
How awesome would this be? I mean, finally a trend where people LEARN SOMETHING and are more empowered as a result.
(Forever grateful to my Fedi friends for all the inspiration and encouragement in trying new tools) ❤️
En mastodon empieza a haber un volumen de publicaciones tal que seguir hashtags, sobre todo en inglés, traen demasiada porquería. ¿Le pasa a alguien más?
Today’s the day, folks!
Boost, share, and pass this around. Let everyone know!

Jonathan Perkel posted this over on FB and I love it so much I had to repost. I can't find him over here in the #fediverse so far? The post was titled "stuff we did when we were 12" or something like that. And I really want to throw this into a fancy B/X melee simulator... 😄
