Quite a jump for mastodon.social in the last 24 hours. Could it be because of the #wirverlassenx campaign by German left-leaning political parties?
Graphs of the growth of registered accounts and posts in the fediverse over the last 24 hours. Between 2026-05-04 06:00 and 2026-05-05 06:00 (UTC).
At least 9,417 registered accounts and 772,805 posts were created during this period.
@evan no, it's not for me. Keeping Bluesky bridge blocked.
Wow, a lot of replies from unbridged Bluesky accounts. Bridge up so we can talk, friends!
@evan and because we’re both grad students there, go bees too, I guess 🐝
@lauti Trying to leave a comment, but Codeberg's bugging out on me right now.
“Hashtags are represented as type Hashtag just like mastodon does it. Is there a fep for this?”
Hashtag is additionally specified as a type in a Community Group draft report on miscellaneous terms: https://swicg.github.io/miscellany/#Hashtag
It might get added to a 1.1 version of a proper W3C standard (AS-vocab I assume) now that the Working Group is active again.
@evan great thread.
I actively, intentionally, avoid #AI summaries in search engines (e.g. with &udm=14 appended to Google searches), and choose Wikipedia as the most likely to be authoritative source, because I am searching for facts (or at least scientific consensus), rather than LLM statistically regurgitated convincing but almost certainly wrong slop.
But unless you go to the same effort as I do, I can see why Wikipedia's traffic will fall off a cliff.
It's the second week in our free web development bootcamp and we will have our first guest speaker join us. @Edent is streaming with us at 2pm UTC May 6th to help demystify SVGs by showing us some magic.
Everyone is welcome, no sign up needed, feel free to drop in!
