Roland's Friendica Network

Jupiter Rowland

jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

An avatar roaming the decentralised and federated 3-D virtual worlds based on OpenSimulator, a free and open-source server-side re-implementation of Second Life. Mostly talking about OpenSim, sometimes about other virtual worlds, occasionally about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. No, the Fediverse is not only Mastodon.

Even if you see me on Mastodon, I'm not on Mastodon myself. I'm on Hubzilla which is neither a Mastodon instance nor a Mastodon fork. In fact, it's older and much more powerful than Mastodon. And it has always been connected to Mastodon.

I regularly write posts with way more than 500 characters. If that disturbs you, block me now, but don't complain. I'm not on Mastodon, I don't have a character limit here.

I rather give too many content warnings than too few. But I have absolutely no means of blanking out pictures for Mastodon users.

I always describe my images, no matter how long it takes. My posts with image descriptions tend to be my longest. Don't go looking for my image descriptions in the alt-text; they're always in the post text which is always hidden behind a content warning due to being over 500 characters long.

If you follow me, and I "follow" you back, I don't actually follow you and receive your posts. Unless you've got something to say that's interesting to me within the scope of this channel, or I know you from OpenSim, I'll most likely deny you the permission to send me your posts. I only "follow" you back because Hubzilla requires me to do that to allow you to follow me. But I do let you send me your comments and direct messages. If you boost a lot of uninteresting stuff, I'll block you boosts.

My "birthday" isn't my actual birthday but my rezday. My first avatar has been around since that day.

If you happen to know German, maybe my "homepage" is something for you, a blog which, much like this channel, is about OpenSim and generally virtual worlds.

(Picture of a guy:)

Friendica is so fucking weird and disturbing, not like Mastodon at all. This needs to stop.

(Guy paints his face white:)

Friendica users must stop posting over 500 characters at once. This goes against the Fediquette. They must cut their long stuff into pieces of no more than 500 characters or post it somewhere that isn't federated with Mastodon and then link to it.

(Guy puts on clown make-up:)

Everyone on Friendica must add content warnings to everything they post if there's something disturbing in it. It's up to us to decide what's disturbing. And they must stop using so many useless hashtags.

(Guy has a clown wig put on:)

This is Mastodon's Fediverse, and it has always been. Everything else is either an add-on to Mastodon or an intruder. What do they even mean, Friendica is six years older than Mastodon? That's nonsense, that isn't even possible!

(Guy in full clown look:)

Why are people on Friendica so angry and hostile towards Mastodon? We're the good guys!

I have complaints about Friendica:

1) there seems to be no working cli Client. The one I found can read posts and claims to be able to send posts, But they Do not appear online. Seems to be an abandoned project.

2) there seems to be no App for Android or iOS.

3) the Email notifications that friendica sends only ever say: something happened at this post of yours, Look online what it is.

4) the Web interface of friendica confuses me. Friendica has Features, that are missing in from Mastodon, But the UI/UX is as confusing as instagram and I never know what is going on.

@C.Suthorn :prn: @Jupiter Rowland I cannot confirm about the email notification. Friendica is fully ActivityPub complying. So you can use ANY client that supports AP correctly. Why does it confuse you? I use Friendica for several years now.

2) there seems to be no App for Android or iOS.

There's no dedicated Friendica app with a stable release. Yet.

There's one in early development, Relatica. But you can't pull it from the Apple App Store or the like just like that.

I'd say the next-best app would be Fedilab because it's explicitly developed against Friendica amongst other projects. So this may mean that Fedilab lets you do more on Friendica than you could do on Mastodon.

Apparently, the old StatusNet app AndStatus works with Friendica, too.

I can't tell you anything more. I don't use Android, I don't use iOS, I don't use Friendica.
