Debirdify

Manuel Eberl, Nov 15, 2022

Today's Mastodon update with news and items from the great migration. Debirdify: According to the website, "Debirdify uses the Twitter API to look through profile information for things that look like Fediverse account names." Also: Dave Lane from OERu offers a comprehensive tutorial on installing a Mastodon server using Docker Compose (I have to try this one!). Also, Brian Keegan uses an interesting analogy to explain Mastodon: "If you think of the fediverse as a university, each Mastodon server is like a dorm." Also: using Keyoxide as a verification service for Mastodon (warning: not simple). Also, Jon Udell creates a prototype Mastodon reader using Steampipe (warning: not simple). Also: Takahē: A New ActivityPub Server. Python, with Joomla. Also: Antichirp "allows you to load server blocklists from larger instances so you don't have to do all the moderating yourself." Finally, Clive Thompson describes "how Mastodon is designed to be antiviral" (may throw up a stupid Medium spamwall).
