Ellie Kennard PhotographyJust Rest There For a While<br> <br> Last night I woke at 3:45 and just caught the last of the blood moon eclipse but I wasn't able to take any photos. The moon looked quite pink, unlike the one here. <br> <br> I took this image during my participation in the <a href="https://pxlfd.ca/discover/tags/GooglePlus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GooglePlus</a> Mentorship Program for Photographers led by Robin Griggs Wood. What a great experience that was! This was my comment about the photograph and the mentorship then:<br> "Like this moon ...I feel that I have been told "just rest here for a few minutes, and look around you. We are all here to support and help you define yourself."<br> (Sigh.)<br> <br> This is also my favourite tree which I featured recently.<br> <br> I hope you have a great Friday, all my Pixl- and Fedi-friends.<br> <br> <a href="https://pxlfd.ca/discover/tags/EllieKPosts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EllieKPosts</a> <a href="https://pxlfd.ca/discover/tags/moon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#moon</a> <a href="https://pxlfd.ca/discover/tags/FullMoon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FullMoon</a> <a href="https://pxlfd.ca/discover/tags/Sunset?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sunset</a> <a href="https://pxlfd.ca/discover/tags/Trees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trees</a> <a href="https://pxlfd.ca/discover/tags/BlueHour?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlueHour</a> <a href="https://pxlfd.ca/discover/tags/BlueHourSky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlueHourSky</a>

Jürgen Hubert<p>I was rather active back on Google+ back in the day (and I am a bit miffed that Google ended it _one week_ before I started my Patreon campaign).</p><p>And the one feature I truly miss are the "Collections". Basically, you could assign each of your posts to a single Collection you've defined. For example, I created the following Collections (among others):</p><p>- "RPG" (tabletop role-playing games)<br>- "Politics"<br>- "Deutsch" (German-language posts)<br>- "Science"</p><p>and so forth. And those who followed me could choose whether to follow my entire stream, or only specific collections. Someone who wasn't interested in Politics could unsubscribe to these posts. Someone who could not read German could thus not have my German-language posts show up in their stream - and so forth.</p><p>This was an _amazing_ feature for keeping the signlal-to-noise ratio high in people's streams. And I would love it if someone implemented a <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> -based approach for this - but I am not sure if <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> would even support such a subdivision.</p><p>EDIT: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>sl007</span></a></span> pointed out that this feature IS, in fact, part of the ActivityPub standard and thus could be implemented on the Fediverse - but apparently, no one has done so yet.

Stefano Marinelli<p>And so it seems that Threads is, in fact, losing active users day by day. No surprise there. First, they announced a massive user growth (anyone with an Instagram account can sign up with a click). At first, even Europeans managed to sign up by downloading the apk, but then they locked everything down. In the end, it became just another social platform we've seen before, just like many others, from the same old company that keeps changing its look but remains the same, with no particularly notable innovations. Many have returned (or stayed) on Twitter... uh, I mean X.<br>Google+, in its time, brought some substantial novelties. Threads, not so much.</p><p>Patient and conscious users (especially those who experienced the dawn of the social media era) have started to also/move to specific Mastodon instances.</p><p>All in all, Musk's arrival had the same effect as breaking a bottle: shards scatter everywhere, and there's no way to put them back together.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Threads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Instagram</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/X" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>X</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BirdSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BirdSite</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/GooglePlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GooglePlus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MuskEffect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MuskEffect</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Change</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a>+</p>
