World

YIKES! Who had fascists overtaking america on their bingo card? Who had china ripping the tech bros a new one? Okay, okay! And who had Meta actually going full shithole? Yeah, okay. I had that one too…

Meta & Xitter

Jokes aside! The day hath come! We have told you 1 billion times! Meta ist going to f**k your mom! And thats what they did. You heard it here first, folks! The Fedipact has told you. Oh, and Elon went full nazi. Fuck you Elon.

Germany

So, the world does not look great atm. Germany has their election next Month and fascists are on the ballot. Btw. today is holocaust remembrance day. Everyone in the german government who has not voted for the fascists to get the boot yet hopefully gets diarrea tonight.

Instance

But the instance looks okay at least. We had to fight off A LOT of bullshit LLMs. We did kind of accidentally ban federation for a short time I believe but we got that working again. We expanded the storage for our peertube instance and backups. Otherwise we’re still runnning basically everything as we did two years ago when we started.

Fediverse

Since Meta has announced their departure from sanity, a lot of normies are coming to the platform. Welcome! Please be aware that we are a little different bunch here. We dont aim to be “like facebook/instagram/reddit/xitter/etc.” please dont try to make us kick you out again. We want to show you how great a horizontally organized social media platform can be, if you let us.

Who are we?

GiftedMC (fka Gifted-Minecraft) is a very diverse group of people from different countries with common interests. We like to play voxelgames, a lot of us are neurodivergent and we have both, a minecraft and a voxelibre server, as well as many fediverse instances.

Joining

We’re a private instance of a small group of collaborators and friends. If you think about joining our instance, please contact our admin on the contact page of our instance. We do ask for a small recurring donation (starting from 1$ a week) in turn since hosting an instance isnt cheap and more users means more work, electricity and storage required.

Support

Check out Liberabay! You can see which instances and projects we run, how many open source projects we support and support us with a small donation. Because foss devs and fedi admins need to eat and a roof over their head as well.

Until next time

I hope the next update wont be like half a year but at this point I cant promise anything. Life is unpredictable sometimes. Hang in there and see you on the other side! :)

See ya!
