My mission out here? To understand and promote Mastodon, the only large European social media platform (to my knowledge).
How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?
End of my 3rd week on #Mastodon
I've not experienced social media like this before. People seeing my posts? And replying? Madness! And no robot deciding that my #cats won’t infuriate anyone and so hiding them?
The people here have been super nice too. Sharing their own cats, giving me helpful tips, and replying with positivity. You're a real likeable bunch of weirdos
So I'll probably stick around, if that's okay….?

...we will see how the talks go tomorrow and what the results will be. It is necessary that not only #Ukraine wants to end this war and achieve complete security, but that a similar desire somehow arises in russia as well."
The oil tanker Progress (IMO: 9306627), which is under sanctions for transporting russian crude, has lost control off the coast of Algeria and is drifting in the Mediterranean Sea, according to vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
The vessel is 19 years old and has changed its name twice since being blacklisted in 2025. It recently switched to the russian flag and was entered into the russian Maritime Register of Shipping in November.

Perché parlare con gli LLM ha migliorato il mio modo di pensare
Molto di ciò che sappiamo è tacito
Spesso esprimono a parole cose che ho capito da tempo, ma che non sono riuscito a scrivere chiaramente. Quando ciò accade, è più come un riconoscimento che come un apprendimento. Una sorta di momento di "ok, sì".
Non ho visto molto parlare di questo effetto. Penso anche che abbia migliorato il mio modo di pensare.

RSS polling frequency
Anyone know how often Friendica fetches RSS feeds ? Is this frequency configurable ?
I'm seeing some big delays.
Thanks.
It automatically adjusts depending on how often the source posts articles. Presumably the idea is to avoid sending frequent requests to small servers that rarely publish. This does mean that if an account only publishes once a month or so, it'll probably take a day or so before you see the article.
It used to be configurable on a per-feed basis, but looking now I think that setting went away. It can still be configured in the database I believe.
The way Friendica does RSS polling is pretty broken. You're supposed to make conditional requests so that the feed only needs to be built when it genuinely has something new, and you're supposed to respect the retry time. That way you can request much more frequently without overloading the server. But implementing that would require database schema changes.
Ah, I see, many thanks.
I just found adjustPollFrequency() in the source which adjusts the feed "rating" based on the number of recent posts.
The feed I was looking at has a rating of 8 (polling once a day) but other feeds I have lower ratings (more frequently polled). Thats consistent with what I see.
Thanks again.

The yesterday’s words by Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy in regards to Iran were one of the highlights of his speech.
„There was so much talk about the protests in Iran - but they drowned in blood. The world has not helped enough the Iranian people, and it’s true, it has stood aside. And what will Iran become after this bloodshed? If the regime survives, it sends a clear signal to every bully - kill enough people and you stay in power.“

A classic story from #Ukraine occupied territories as told by Eric Gebaide from Save Ukraine in Davos:
“There was a young woman who was 19 in a hospital giving birth. She needed a C-section. She was told, while she’s in labor, that unless she takes on a Russian passport, she’s not getting a C-section. She does. Her child’s born. She’s healthy. Child’s healthy.”
You think that’s it? No way, #Russia has an escalation ladder for every life situation:
“She’s told she can’t leave the hospital with her baby unless the baby is registered as a Russian citizen. The use of nationalization as a weapon of Russia is what Putin is trying to do.”
