Tŵt Cymru | Toot Wales The Social Web hub for Wales and the Welsh, at home and abroad. Clonc a chymuned, ymuna heddiw! It's #BetterSocial, simple as.

Ready to help someone move house?

New members can create an account directly on toot.wales via the app.

If they want a different handle/domain, send them here: croeso.toot.wales/en/server-di...

The goal isn't to lock people in, it’s to give them an all-access pass to the new Social Web.

(minor delay with iOS, stay tuned)

We've built a Social Web app. It runs on Mastodon but it talks to the entire open web - Bluesky, Pixlfed, PeerTube, WordPress, and beyond.

We’re connecting #Wales to the world, from Cardiff to Calgary to Calcutta. It’s a local identity with global reach.

Those of you travelling by train to #Cardiff for #TootWales today, please be aware it is mandatory to say/whisper/scream "Tŵt Tŵt" as you leave the station.

Thank you in advance for your compliance.

Heading to the #TwtCymru event or only able to join us in spirit? If you see something that evokes "toot", "tŵt", "dwti" or anything Welsh, send something to today's FediWall with the hashtag #TootWales

Radio Wales Breakfast - With Oliver Hides and Megan Davies - BBC Sounds Everything you need to know as you wake up.

I just listened back to my BBC interview on air this morning, other than completely failing to say the words "toot dot wales" I think it went well, I'm at the 1 hour 43 minute mark in this replay:

Cheers mate! Someone told me you replied here, but I didn't see it as your account is not "bridged" - you can see me but I can't see you. Luckily I have this account too :o) I will definitely check City Arms, looks like a winner.

If you'd like to bridge your account, simply follow @ap.brid.gy

Welsh social network Tŵt launches new app The Welsh social network Tŵt is set to launch a new mobile app.

It's nice to be in the Barry & District News, but until we're covered by the Llantwit Major Gem, we haven't truly made it...

# Toot Wales Mobile App ## Roadmap * Add Mastodon’s four profile links (put your links in bio for now) * Allow alternative accounts on other domains ## Known Issues * Accounts using MFA need to sign in via the Web app * Opening the app sometimes stops music playing (Android) * Previously viewed mentions and/or notifications may be marked as unread in the app * Add a Starter Pack (or new tab) that shows Mastodon’s algorithmic account recommendations General note: some advanced functionalities are reserved to the Web interface and are not available in-app, see “Advanced settings” in the Settings tab. ## Design Notes Certain design decisions make the app different from the Mastodon Web view. * Direct mentions will never show up in public feeds, they are only visible in the “Conversations” tab. * Direct mentions are renamed “Conversations” * New (non-direct) posts are disabled while in the Conversations tab (so you don’t accidentally post something private to Public) * “Local” feed: The local feed is the timeline of our community. Therefore, we include top level posts AND replies from our community members, even to conversations happening between Toot Wales and third party services. * The Local feed is renamed “Tŵt” * Search and Explore are separated. The Search tab/interface does not show you trending or recommended content. Search is search. * Trending posts and hashtags are available in the “Explore” tab. * “Receive mobile notification” AND “Receive email notifications” are enabled by default. You can disable these in the Settings tab. * The Profile tabs are “Posts”, “Replies”, and “Boosts”. Posts only contains top level authored posts, Replies only contains in-reply-to posts, Boosts only contains boosts.

I'm adding a dedicated page to the Web site for the forthcoming Toot Wales mobile app to track known issues, describe the roadmap, explain some of the design decisions.

**#LittleThings:Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6** The “attention economy” of mainstream platforms thrives on shock. The more startling or controversial a post is, the more the algorithm pushes it into your feed, regardless of your mental space or well-being. This is the opposite of a mindful community. At Tŵt, we use Content Warnings (CWs) as a way to practice “people-first” networking. Using a CW for sensitive media or heavy topics isn’t about hiding the truth or practicing censorship; it is about providing a digital “cwtch.” It gives your friends and neighbours the agency to choose when they are ready to engage with a difficult subject. This is what digital sovereignty looks like in practice. It is the freedom to set our own boundaries and the mindfulness to respect the boundaries of others. When we choose to use a content warning, we are rejecting the extractive “outrage” model and replacing it with a culture of mutual respect. It’s a little thing, but it is exactly what makes #BetterSocial possible. **This week’s #LittleThings** – before you post a busy image or a heavy topic, consider adding a Content Warning. It’s a simple way to respect the mental space of your neighbours.

>On Mastodon, any reasonable server would just ban the account

Except US-based admins and moderators who absolutely do not want that exposure, or need to travel to the US. The increasingly anti-US rhetoric from the ActivityPub leadership community is troubling for those who are not as insulated.
