Sadly catodon.social is going down in a couple of days, I think that all active users have migrated by now, so I guess it's time for me to jump ship as well. I'll migrate my account soon to @panos - I wanted a Sharkey server and the name Calckey has some sentimental value for me, as that was the […]

Some of you will already know this, but I just realised that you can use Bridgy Fed to bring websites to fedi! It doesn't work with all sites (I think it works only if it finds an RSS feed in the main page) but it works for many - including wordpress blogs, without needing their owners to […]

What's the state of Sharkey? For anyone who follows the project. I see that the latest release was out in July, and it was based on Misskey 2025.4. Meanwhile Misskey has reached 2025.10. I understand that keeping up with upstream is not always easy, just wondering what's going on and what are […]

Catodon.social and Catodon closing down

I thought whether I should post this from @catodon 's account but I'd like to speak on a more personal level, since it's now just me in Catodon anyway. So, I'm pretty sad about it coming to this, but what can you do - things like that can happen in group […]

Last night I got officially diagnosed with ADHD.

It's such a strange feeling, being diagnosed at 45. Having spent most of your life with a condition you didn't realize you had, but affected your life in every way.

I suspected either ADHD or Autism for the last couple of years, but even though […]

Next Friday our greek community server is organizing a discussion/presentation about the #fediverse in an anarchist squat in Athens! I think we need more of these events all over the world. If you happen to be around, come and say hi =)
**Social media και αυτοοργάνωση: Συζήτηση για το Fediverse, παρουσίαση του εγχειρήματος Electric Requiem & Metal/Punk bar οικονομικής ενίσχυσης**

Τα social media, τα τελευταία 20 χρόνια, σταδιακά έγιναν κομμάτι της ζωής των περισσότερων από εμάς. Ακόμα […]

Hello all :smile:

Today we're releasing NodeBB v4.2.0. Most of the changes pertain to minor updates to our existing ActivityPub integration.

* Categories can now follow regular users
* v4 launched with the ability for NodeBB to synchronize […]

We just released version 4.1.0 of NodeBB. Here are the latest features you can now take advantage of!

As an aside, for the first time in a long while, both @baris and I are working on the same codebase again. Up until version 4 was released, I'd been working on the `activitypub` branch and […]

Mastodon announced that they're bringing "quote posts to Mastodon and the fediverse". Eh, no. You're (finally) bringing them to Mastodon. The Fediverse has had them for several years now.

Why I think that #nodebb's latest release can be a game changer for the #fediverse

For years, before social media came along, forums were the main place to discuss with others on the internet. Communities were built, thrived, a few survived, most were swallowed by Reddit and Facebook groups […]

It's interesting how, after the USA with Israel has been commiting an actual genocide against Palestinians for over a year, people are now "shocked" to find that the new USA administration has nazis. It seems that for many people politics is mostly a matter of aesthetics; you can mass murder […]

After nearly a full year in development, NodeBB v4.0.0 has landed, bringing federation between NodeBB instances (and a connection to the wider fediverse of social media) to forum software.

It feels like I may get virtually stoned for saying this on fedi, as people seem to like black/white approaches, but I don't think all "AI"/LLM is bad. VLC's new feature for automatic subtitles for example seems very useful for me, especially as a greek. Subtitling movies takes countless hours […]

#nodebb 's upcoming release with ActivityPub support in January will be... pretty impressive. I'm still poking around, but this seems about to make an entrance straight to the top as one of the finest #fediverse platforms we have. Congrats, @julian !

Huh. Have you had your daily fedi drama yet? Well, here it goes.

So, I've just been kicked out of #iceshrimp. I publicly announced I would be involved in the project last March, when I was added to their "core team" chatroom with 3 other people. Some people back then told me I was getting into […]

I used to like these guys, even saw them live 2 or 3 times many years ago. Their alignment in the recent years with NATO and the USA, the most powerful killing machine in the world, is disgusting.
