Just brought the little one to sleep with thanks to #thestaves. I highly recommend the band to anyone who hasn't heard of them yet. And always will.

I'm finding myself visiting #littlefedi more and more - more than my own #mastodon-instance. I really like that it doesn't look like the #birdsite at all and does try something new just on a visual level. Really looking forward to selhosting this piece of amazing community-software. <3
Which of these "constructed languages (conlangs") sound most natural, for your taste?
Selection: Esperanto, Mini Linga, Globasa, Lingwa de Planeta, Dasopya
Example: "Our Father"
ESPERANTO
Patro nia, kiu estas en la ĉielo,
Sankta estu Via nomo.
Venu reĝeco Via.
Estu volo Via, kiel en la ĉielo, tiel ankaŭ sur la tero.
Panon nian ĉiutagan donu al ni hodiaŭ.
Kaj pardonu al ni ŝuldojn niajn, kiel ni ankaŭ pardonas al niaj ŝuldantoj.
Ne konduku nin en tenton, sed liberigu nin de la malvera:
Ĉar Via estas la regado, la forto, kaj la gloro eterne.
Amen.
(Tradukis L.L. Zamenhof, 1887)

MINI LINGA (Mini Language)
Mi-ale fami,
Ke e en selo,
Tu name e santi.
Tu tera i veni,
Tu vole i veni,
En tera, sama selo.
I dona go mi
En di sole a sole pan,
An i dona de a mi mala,
Sama ke mi i dona de
A mala de ota man.
I no kapo go kali a mi,
Pero i toma de mala a mi.
Tera, poten, an mega name
E Tu, go ale tempo.
Amen.

LINGWA DE PLANETA
Übersetzung des "Vater unser" (unvollständig):
"Nuy Patra kel es pa swarga,
hay Yur nam santefai,
hay Yur reging lai,
hay Yur vola fulfil
i pa arda kom pa swarga.
Dai ba a nu nuy pan fo jivi sedey
e pardoni ba a nu nuy deba,
kom nu pardoni toy-las kel debi a nu.
Bye dukti nu inu temta
e protekti nu fon bada."

@stefano I find I am using the Catch-up more than I would have imagined. This is good. Request.. could the "Mark as Read" button be made just a little more prominent?
Testing poll
mmm 1: option field seems to be only 50 char...
mmm 2: 1 hour, 1 day, 7days - that's it (see pic)
actively not saying anything 😏
@stefano
The workaround is of course to reply to the message and cut and paste the url from the browser, but I'm lazy. It does work tho.
@francois I'm usually copying and pasting the url of the post, and it works. Did you mean something like this?
@francois @shom@gts.shom.dev Thank you.
For me, that spirit never faded. The modem's noise was a gateway to something magical, a doorway to a different world.
Things didn't evolve in the way I was hoping, but we can do something to recreate that passion, that idea, that feeling.
We have the tools. We just need the mood.
@stefano
feature request: One thing that would be nice to have is the address of a post if you want to boost it from an account not following.
Not sure it makes sense, so the use case is this:
I follow xxx@littleOne on littleOne but I also have an account at zzz@mastodon and I read a post from aaa@littleOne which would be relevant in the zzz@mastodon context. So I get the url, and boost it from zzz@mastodon.
Thanks
@stefano I'm a bit concerned about what is not happening.
I'm following my littleOn account from polyglot.city and mastodon.social, and the public post I made here did not appear on any of those ??
I also tested the search to get the url of a post I made from polyglot, and boosted it from here, but I haven't seen it appear anywhere. Not sure this is intended behaviour ?
edit 1: boosted appeared here and was marked on polyglot as boosted - so forget that.
edit 2: seems that single post do arrive. So I assume it never made it because it was an answer to another post. Not sure wether that is intended behavior. If it is , forget it :-)
sorry for false alarm

Super interesting!
@shom@gts.shom.dev @stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social
Yes, LittleFedi is probably the biggest thing happening in cyberspace in a long time.
Kudos to @stefano and the team for making it happening.
This is really power to the people.
I haven't been so excited by a software in a long time.
When I "met" Stefano online for the first time I immediately commented that this reminded me of FidoNet, a communication system that could be set up by anybody, and it turns out he was involved in that as well.
I think those days marked us forever and I must congratulate him for bringing that spirit back to the internet.
@shom @shom@gts.shom.dev Ha! I think you're a way better test subject than I am, since I haven't even tried to play with the blog feature yet.
@SarraceniaWilds@sunny.garden I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if people would want personal reminders and thought they might find it intrusive so I didn't send them :(

Revisionist History Blues
Two, three, four—
The world ain't how it used to be
When I was watching it on a TV screen
When I went to school they taught to me
A revisionist version of history
Where MLK was never shot by the FBI
And every war we've ever been in was justified
Where the judges and the juries are colorblind
And our worst days are long left behindBut that is not the world I see
When I look at what's right in front of me
The cops keep killing, and we all watch
They get two weeks of paid time off
We all still watch the genocide
And look away when we get tired
We still salute the war machine
Until the soldiers come back and need somewhere to sleepOh yeah…
This ain't the world you promised me
It's nothing like you said it'd be
We live to work
Until we work to death
For a CEO we've never metThey said everyone trusts the government
'Cause criminals can't be president
And politicians only represent
The people who elected them
But that is not the world I see
When I look at what's right in front of me
The poor stay poor and then drop dead
The rich get richer off their blood and sweat
Everyone gets an atom bomb
The people cheer and clap along
As the show begins, the fever starts
It's our own nuclear holocaustI sell my life for pennies flat
For someone else, I break my tired back
If I'm leaving—you're coming too
Before I go down… I'm getting youEverybody!
When we go down
When we go down—that's right!
We go down together
When we go down—yeah!
When we go down—that's right!
We go down togetherTogether—alright!
We go down—hey, hey!
We go down togetherOh yeah!
— Moon Walker, "Revisionist History Blues"
Big hopes for littleFedi
This was originally posted on my blog.
The Fediverse is exciting, I've formed genuine connections with interesting people. GoToSocial got me hosting my own presence. And I hope littleFedi is what gets to hosting a community.
Thoughts/context on Fediverse
The federated universe (Fediverse) is awesome: different applications, networks, sub-cultures all able to interact with each other via a rather lightweight protocol, ActivityPub. It's this very lightweightness is interesting because not all the servers are architected to be lightweight because they are architected to scale. There's a lot of debate about the role of centralization, discoverability, "flagship" instances this post isn't that. BUT, decentralization is a big selling point of ActivityPub and being able to run many small instances on low power hardware democratizes participation. I'm all about that, GoToSocial fits the bill perfectly and I have been very happy hosting it and the team is doing great and thoughtful work.
Why am I excited about littleFedi!?
Well maybe it's a better idea to talk about what is littleFedi is?! I'll let @stefano talk about that: littleFedi: a Fediverse Server That Doesn't Need a Data Centre. That blog is actually served directly by littlFedi and the post was created as any other regular post AND the blog is statically served AND a regular post can be retroactively turned into a blog post AND it supported threaded comments (since it also remains a regular ActivityPub post). littleFedi has a load of other great features as well and I don't want to take away from that but this is definitely what sets it apart from GoToSocial.
Blogging vs Microblogging
Blogging and maintaining a separate social feed is difficult. The ability to do it all in one platform and also convert existing posts into blog posts if they need to be persisted as a "body of work" is great for folks who don't want to mess around with tech and just want to share with their community. Also it's cognitively easier to write a series of posts instead of sitting down to write a blog post and being able to convert it later is great.
What's next?
I'm on the test instance and have been doing some testing and providing feedback. Stefano is both very prompt and gracious in receiving feedback and fixing issues. The project will be released as a MIT licensed self-hostable application and I plan on trialing a niche community hub (more on that later) using littleFedi. I wish the project well and will be following it closely and eagerly.
