Folks,
no axe to grind, just a description of finding my way around the #fediverse from a complete newbie and ultimately why I chose #Mastodon .

@xosem por otro lado, a mi no me parece que #Mastodon se esté adueñando del !fediverse , creo que es un simple proceso natural en que son muchas más personas que nosotras, y que la mayoría ni nos conoce. Ni se plantea ni ha oído hablar mucho de la Federación. A lo más entre sus instancias, pero no con otras redes que a lo mejor no sabe ni que existen.
Yo a Mastodon lo veo como un proyecto de !softwarelibre y !redeslibres que ha tenido bastante éxito y eso es bueno. Como solemos decir, en !gnusocial la mayoría de las personas que seguimos tenemos una ideología detrás que en Mastodon, en general, no es tan importante, pero cualquier proyecto de estas características va a ser minoritario siempre. Y eso no es malo mientras podamos seguir existiendo. :)
Además desde que está Mastodon yo tengo muchos más contactos. :) -

I must say that I like !GNUsocial more than #Mastodon because of groups, and also because likes (or favs, or stars, or however you wish to call them) from other people I follow appear in my home timeline. Unfortunately I seem to experience more problems with federation in GNUsocial (maybe it's just my node) -

Thanks to pouet.it, I try sometimes to use #mastodon instead of !gnusocial, but I can't get used to it. I struggle with the interface, I struggle to find accounts to follow. I'm not saying that mastodon isn't as good as gnusocial, just that I can't get used to it.
UX is manly a matter of habits. -

Die Inkompatibilität zwischen #Gnusocial und #Mastodon besteht immer noch. Leuten mit Mastodon-Account, denen ich folge, verschwinden jeweils bald wieder aus meiner Timeline. Das Problem scheint auf #Mastodon Seite niemand zu interessieren. So wird !fediverse aber "etwas" schwierig... -

Y otro sobre porqué !gnusocial con prioridad a otras redes...
Pues principalmente porque es la red libre que más controlo y me siento más a gusto.
Pensando en la facilidad de uso también he estado mirando un poco más a fondo #Mastodon, pero al final me pareció más fácil instalar un nodo de #gnusocial incluyendo #qvitter (salvo por lo del certificado, que aún me viene grande).
También he valorado la facilidad para acceder y publicar desde programas, por ejemplo #python. Aunque muy despacio, sigo con mis #botijossociales y ahora es un motorcillo independiente que simplemente responde a mensajes para que se le pueda llamar desde cualquier red. Y una de las ideas es meteros algún botijo por aquí además de las salas !xmpp. :)
Con esto no descarto ninguna otra red libre. Es solo una cuestión de prioridades en el tiempo. -

Yay, I now have #pleroma running on a PYNQ-Z1 FPGA board. It has a 650MHz dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 with 512MB RAM. That is not enough memory to run #mastodon though.

I think I finally solved the problem with my !gnusocial instance being unable to federate with some/most #Mastodon instances. Apparently most Mastodon instances are using a broken HTTP.rb that doesn't support HTTP/2. Disabled HTTP/2 on my instance, now it *seems* to work. -

I've created a list of #openspeech #Mastodon #instances!
The goal: to maintain a list of instances which users who want to talk to almost everyone in the fediverse can join!
Listed instances federate widely with others, _and_ many of the safer-speech instances also federate with them.

Yesterday #mastodon bragged about a million accounts, but did not say how many legitimate accounts it deleted at a whim. I won't return. -

Hello! https://inventaire.io is a #libre social network to do the inventory of yours books, and share them with your friends and communities! It is developed by @maxlath and @jums and with the help of many contributors! Since last week, our authors pages link to #mastodon! (ex: https://inventaire.io/entity/wd:Q24939418 ) #Libre projects should support each others, right? :)

#Mastodon really needs a groups feature, preferably one that is compatible with OStatus groups. #Diaspora needs one, too.
These kinds of communication relays are actually really useful in community-building. In a microblogging environment, it's a powerful feature that Twitter doesn't offer.

Hi, I'm @mmn, maintainer of GNUsocial. I reacted when it was written that "many people on gnusocial are angry" and wish to say that !GNUsocial has only love and appreciation for #Mastodon and #ActivityPub.
I believe cooperation is important for libre software and the federated social web. I believe our plural and diverse community should embrace and encourage contributors and development. Any progress we want to make - regardless of anyone's preferred technology - is impeded by hostility and empowered by friendship.
So I want to say thank @cwebber @gargron et al. for all the hard work you actively put into ActivityPub. It's awesome that so many users get in touch with !fs via open protocols. -

@cwebber The only reason !GNUsocial doesn't have #ActivityPub yet is because I have a fulltime job and noone else has been up for the task .]
Though I'm pretty sure it'd still just be the 100% public parts of AP that would be used/promoted, as I'm pretty much convinced there's no such thing as privacy in the social sphere anyway and anyone using "private" communication in an environment like !GNUsocial or #Mastodon is fooled either by the platform, the administrator or other users. (anything accessible via a web browser isn't made for privacy)
