#Threads の #Fediverse #ActivityPub 対応は、トランプ政権に代わってザッカーバーグのアイコンが金のジャラジャラ（？）マッチョアイコンに変わったあたりからほとんど公式に話題にならなくなってる気がするんだけど気のせい…？

1回、何かの進捗があってその関係のアナウンスをしてたような記憶はあるけど、
当初の「#Fediverse こそソーシャルメディアの未来です。#Threads もそこに参加します！」みたいな熱をいまの #Threads からはもう全然感じられてないんだよな自分

Today I got new inspiration regarding #WebSocial (aka the #Fediverse), when I met an old acquaintance and his friend

The acquaintance tried to call me a #TechBro. With some salt, and sugar, I explained what a tech bro was, why I despised them and rolled out a simple explanation of what #Mastodon was.

His friend was surprised and said he didn't know that such a thing existed. My acquaintance then said he wanted to start his own server.

I then realized he's probably not the only one in my city.

@dansup first use looks good :)

I would suggest using the term #openweb alongside the #Fediverse as it's both a more positive term and at the same time more change and challenge as it contrasts to #closedweb

Then #fediverse has failed me. I had to learn from friggin INSTAGRAM that we are calling him CM Pope. ✝️

How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments

On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.

However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in FEP 1b12 which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:

For flair on posts, the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:

{
    "type": "Group",
    "id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta",
    "name": "piefed_meta",
    /* ... */
    "lemmy:tagsForPosts": [
      {
        "type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
        "id": "https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
        "display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",
        "text_color": "#000000",
        "background_color": "#dedede"
      }
    ]
  }

lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects.

So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:

{
    "id": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
    "actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
    "type": "Page",
    /* ... */
    "tag": [
      {
        "type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
        "id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
        "display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"
      },
      {
        "href": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
        "name": "asdf",
        "type": "Hashtag"
      }
    ]
  }

In this example the post also has a #asdf hashtag on it.

User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.

{
    "id": "https://piefed.social/comment/1",
    "actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
    "type": "Note",
    /* ... */
    "flair": "PieFed dev"
  }

This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.

It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too.

Let’s see how it goes.

ビル・ゲイツ、 #BlueSky にいるんだ（#Fediverse にはブリッジされてないか、残念）

Bill Gates (@billgates.com) — Bluesky
https://bsky.app/profile/billgates.com

I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.

https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&registration=open

It's a tracking / shelf platform for #TV / #drama, #movies / #films, #books, and #games

Automated import from #Goodreads work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.

Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.

Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?

Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.

* Method 1: You can add the details yourself

* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items

* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance

Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!

Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.

Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).

Check my accounts:

* Flagship server: @youronlyone@neodb.social
* Instance: @youronlyone@eggplant.place

~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest #OpenDB for music: #Musicbrainz ~~

UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, #podcasts .

Commercial entities can operate on the #Fediverse, provided everyone is free to completely mute them and defederate from them.

But: it's highly unlikely I'll be interested enough to follow any account operating transactionally with its audience, or in a marketing capacity, or fake engagement, etc. So, if there's a significant number like me, commercial activity will have a much more difficult time on the Fediverse than on centralised platforms; and IMO that's as it should be.

Previous edition: https://mitra.social/objects/0196929b-a80a-322f-a1ba-f42864034290

It was really fun to meet a bunch of people from #Mastodon in person today - thanks for coming along to the #Tekna talk. 🙏 🎉

The recording is available to watch online at the following site (my part starts at the 57 mins mark): https://www.tekna.no/fag-og-nettverk/IKT/exit-strategi-sosiale-medier---hva-er-alternativene/

Thank you to the organisers at @attacnorge, specifically @audunmb for giving me the opportunity to come and spread the word about #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. 🙇

And thanks to @cifie for the flowers 💐

PeerTube results now show up in regular searches on Kagi, plus you can filter videos by "source" to see more PeerTube content.

I have to say I don't agree with @fediforum who consider #Bluesky part of the #fediverse. Is Bluesky making any attempts to interoperate with other fedi services that I'm not aware of?

In which I claim that a few annoying #Fediverse problems (and ATproto too) could be solved by using URI schemes the way they’re designed to be used: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/04/16/Decentralized-Schemes

We're excited to announce that we've implemented RFC 9421 (HTTP Message Signatures) in #Fedify, complete with our double-knocking mechanism to maintain backward compatibility with the draft cavage version.

This implementation includes both signature generation and verification, meaning #RFC9421 is used when both sending and receiving activities. While we haven't merged the RFC 9421 implementation branch yet, we're currently conducting interoperability tests with development versions of Mastodon and other #ActivityPub implementations. Once these tests confirm compatibility, we'll proceed with the merge.

As noted in the attached docs, although RFC 9421 is the final and official standard for HTTP Signatures, the draft cavage version remains widely used across the #fediverse. Our double-knocking mechanism ensures maximum compatibility by trying the RFC 9421 version first, then falling back to draft cavage if needed.

Currently, we support RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pairs for generating HTTP Message Signatures, with plans to expand to other signature types in future releases.

We look forward to contributing to a more standardized and secure fediverse!

@EUCommission

Where #AI technosphere only dehumanises and alienates us from each other, a perfect tool for #hypercapitalism, we can instead foster the #sociosphere where inter-personal relationships may thrive online.

Let's unite and add the missing social layers of our open technology stack, and innovate social web technologies based on true human needs that exist in #society.

We can do this. In fact we already did. A handful of passionate people in the #commons created #fediverse on a dime.

This relay could even use the ActivityPub actor type "Feed".

3/

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.

A relay could represent a community.

And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

2/

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on

This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server

Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

#ActorTypeFeed #CustomFeeds #DeSo #FediDev #FediDevs #FediUX #Fediverse #FediverseCustomFeeds #FediverseFeeds #FediverseUX

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.

Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

Esteemed #Fediverse

in the past days I have read many threads about the importance of facts in social networks and federating them.

On the other hand, the co-founder of wikipedia, Dr. Larry Sanger wants to create a "censorship resistant federated wikipedia". He became an altright conspiracy theorist and is part of Trumps culture-revolution-thinktank.

My fear is that they will not only remove tax status but also target Jimmy Wales, contributors and in the end the org domains.

In the last sleepless night the @skyfaller wrote „Instead of Action News, perhaps we need actionable news.“ https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007/114469269759393822

So, to whom it may concern;
In the following first long part of a long thread, I will leave some thoughts about #federating #wikidata and #wikipedia with #ActivityPub

The only thing he said he wished was different about Substack was —

He wishes it was easier to republish posts for everyone which had been originally only posted for paid subscribers.

(He felt this was a minor thing though.)

3 THINGS I'm grateful for when it comes to the #Fediverse:

1: I (almost) never see any AI slop. I'm subscribed to @404mediaco and I'm constantly horrified by their articles on AI slop - so common on Meta platforms. Not here. So #ThankYouFedi.

2: I'm never force-fed content by people I don't follow – so common in other places where algorithms rule. My time & attention are treated with RESPECT.

3: People here protect the privacy of children / don't post their pics. Consent is BIG. #ThankYouFedi

Another factor (for him) seems to be —

It was free for him to give Substack a try.

He didn't have to pay money to get started with or use Substack.

#DeSo #FediUX #Fediverse #FediverseUX #substack #twitter

5/

Another factor (for him) seems to be —

Once he was on Substack he was able to find an audience — who read his work, who subscribed to him, who commented on his posts, who favorited and who shared his posts.

#DeSo #FediUX #Fediverse #FediverseUX #substack #twitter

4/

Another factor (for him) seems to be —

He saw some of his peers join Substack and have success there.

So, he was inclined to do similar.

#DeSo #FediUX #Fediverse #FediverseUX #substack #twitter

3/

Another factor (for him) seems to be —

He perceived Twitter as being prone to censorship. Including politically motivated censorship. Censorship of individual posts, and even by suspending Twitter account.

And thus risky to build an audience on Twitter — since your digital identity could be taken away from you at any time (by Twitter)

He felt that Substack was not only much more tolerant, but had a policy of being anti-censorship.

#DeSo #FediUX #Fediverse #FediverseUX #substack #twitter

2/

One factor (for him) seems to be —

He seems to tend to prefer to write long-form content.

Long essays.

Even series of long posts that could be turned into a book.

#DeSo #FediUX #Fediverse #FediverseUX #substack #twitter

I have an old friend who, when he left Twitter, went over to Substack.

He has an academic background. And, by profession is a ghost writer. He has also written a number of his own books.

If you are interested in growing and spreading the Fediverse, then —

Why did he choose Substack over other alternatives?

3 THINGS I'm grateful for when it comes to the #Fediverse:

1: I (almost) never see any AI slop. I'm subscribed to @404mediaco and I'm constantly horrified by their articles on AI slop - so common on Meta platforms. Not here. So #ThankYouFedi.

2: I'm never force-fed content by people I don't follow – so common in other places where algorithms rule. My time & attention are treated with RESPECT.

3: People here protect the privacy of children / don't post their pics. Consent is BIG. #ThankYouFedi

Bonjour Fedi friends!

I haven't been posting about #selfhosting lately because my entire life has been taken over by filmmaking – creating a promo video for the #Fediverse with the amazing @samaaberg and @TheLifeofTarzan

I miss Terminal, Linux commands and installing / updating things... but I am on a new learning journey. After nearly a decade of editing in Adobe Premiere, I am now moving to #DaVinciResolve. At this point Adobe's prices are extortionate... I will have to do motion graphics in AfterEffects but I won't be paying for multiple Creative Cloud apps.

The learning curve for DaVinci Resolve is a little steeper than expected but I'm having a lot of fun.

And yes, yes, I know, at some point I will try the #FOSS video editing software https://kdenlive.org. On my to do list for the summer!

I hope you're having a lovely day 🌞

@EUCommission that image I created long ago has gained new relevance..

#ActivityPub #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Peopleverse

@EUCommission

Where #AI technosphere only dehumanises and alienates us from each other, a perfect tool for #hypercapitalism, we can instead foster the #sociosphere where inter-personal relationships may thrive online.

Let's unite and add the missing social layers of our open technology stack, and innovate social web technologies based on true human needs that exist in #society.

We can do this. In fact we already did. A handful of passionate people in the #commons created #fediverse on a dime.

Morning #Fosstodon and #Fediverse ☕️

Today's luxury problem: I've made an initial selection from our volunteer offers, but that still leaves us with at least 29 strong candidates 😅 Ugh can't believe we have so many qualified, enthusiastic people! I'm discussing a training plan with @joel and @mike , Mattermost invites will follow soon.

I had a nice call yesterday with the admin of #Hachyderm, to learn about their moderator rules & appeals, how they handle certain situations etc. Very useful. 🔥

Olikos jossain hyvää suomenkielistä selitevideota tai selkeää nettisivua, missä selitettäisiin mitä tarkoitetaan federoidulla somella? Tarkoituksena on lobata yhdistyksiä ja yrityksiä pois Metasta ja Blueskystä. Ja siinä työssä tiivistetty paketti auttaisi. Eikä haittaisi, jos siinä sivussa tulis myös sitä keskeisintä kritiikkiä Metan palveluita ja myös Blueskytä kohtaan.

@rolle tuleeko sulle jotain mieleen?

Boosteja arvostetaan!

I am humbled and thrilled to be a member of the @fediforum Advisory Board!

It was formed to address the hard questions, and to make #FediForum the most welcoming and ispiring gathering to push our beloved #Fediverse to a brighter future.

Proudly, I am the youngest and hands-down the craziest member of the board—I joined our first meeting from @ilcubobeach, with a beer in my hand. 😎

Reach out if you have issues, questions, or ideas to raise. I am, we are, all ears.

It’s so cool to collaborate with this group of incredibly skilled people!

Long live the Fediverse ⁂ ❤️

There is no (explicit or implicit) Emperor, Shahanshah, or God-King of the Fediverse.

You don't wait for permission to affect the Fediverse. You just do it.

Want a new app? Create it.
Want a new protocol. Implement it.
Want a new UX? Design it.
Etc.

Don't have the skills yourself — advocate for it with people who do.

Fediverse Report – #115

PeerTube has a new update for their mobile app, the Mastodon team is growing, and more.

The News

• PeerTube has officially launched their apps as a v1, some four months after the apps became available in beta. Some new features include the ability to log in with an existing PeerTube account (up until now you’d log in with a local account that only existed in the app itself), commenting from the app, and playlist and channel management options.

• Mastodon announced some updates on how their team is evolving. The organisation is currently in the process of setting up a Foundation in Europe. Mastodon is also growing their team, and the organisation now consists of 15 employees. Mastodon’s news update is a followup on their announcement from January 2025, in which Mastodon said that current CEO Eugen Rochko would step down. A new CEO has not been announced yet by Mastodon. In the previous update, Mastodon also said that they would need a €5 million annual operating budget. There are some new team members related to fundraising, but Mastodon has not made a clear statement yet on how exactly they will raise the money needed for this budget.

• Evan Prodromou of the Social Web Foundation has published a first version of places.pub. It is a service that “makes OpenStreetMap geographical data available as ActivityPub objects.” The goal is for other fediverse software to integrate with places.pub to have a standardised way to refer to geospatial objects via ActivityPub.

• A follow-up on last week’s news regarding the Fosstodon server: the server administration will be taken over, with an update and introduction by the new admin here.

The Links

• A recommendation algorithm for PeerTube videos. It is a browser extension that records your PeerTube viewing history, and uses that to generate recommendations to watch.
• PieFed development updates for April.
• The fediverse statistics site FediDB is getting an update, and can now be self-hosted as well.
• Talking Protocols With Evan Prodromou – FediHost Podcast.
• How To Make Your Mastodon Feed More Algorithmic – FediHost Tutorial.
• Ghost now gives blog authors the ability to block users.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

Lemmy, Mbin, and PieFed are great alternatives, and thanks to ActivityPub they all communicate with each other on the Fediverse.

I’m really happy to have been asked to join the new FediForum Advisory Board that is helping to guide and steer the future of the event.

We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.

FediForum has been an important part of the development of the Fediverse over the past couple of years. It has provided a space for projects to share their latest releases and features, and also enabled the serendipitous sharing of needs and ideas. The Projects page on the FediForum site documents a few of the collaborations that have come out of the event already.

I particularly remember how Ben Pate came to share what he was building (Emissary), how several creators in the music space came together during the same event to discuss their hopes for new social channels to connect with their audiences, and how that evolved into both Bandwagon, and The Indie Beat FM. I’ve loved being a part of these kinds of conversations!

An unconference can be difficult to navigate to some people, but it can also enable exactly these kinds of unexpected, delightful fusions of shared interest and technical know-how. At the same time, there’s also a lot of value in more organised, formal events with agendas known in advance. My own belief is that there’s space for both formats to support the Fediverse community, and I hope to see these happen in the coming years. In the meantime, you’ll see some adjustments to the format of FediForum itself, in response to feedback heard at recent town halls.

I’ve helped to run various unconference format events in person in the past; I’m also a public speaker; and, I have been a community organiser myself. I know how complicated it can be to make events like FediForum happen! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help keep this important shared space open, available, and valuable for the future. I’m also delighted about the wonderful group of people that are on the advisory board – we have a shared passion for the Fediverse, and more importantly, we care about the humans that are part of it.

Looking forward to seeing folks again at FediForum, June 5-7.

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.

Although we have been using GreatApe internally since the year 2023 (to create video podcasts) — we haven't done a public release of GreatApe yet (that everyone can use).

I think the first public MVP release of GreatApe will be soon.

We are just "polishing" it now. And, "cleaning up" minor things.

Hats off to #Sharkey devs, who are considerably more on the ball about this than #Akkoma.

This is what is currently trending on mastodon.social

Given current events, what isn't on this list probably says something about who is and isn't in Fediverse yet.

And perhaps where we (who would like to grow and spread the Fediverse) could improve things.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

Good morning Fedi friends!

Here is a sneak peek at the #Fediverse video I've been working on with @samaaberg & @TheLifeofTarzan. I feel super lucky to be doing this with them: they are brilliant! ✨

It's the 1st time in my life I'm in front of the camera - thank you Sam & Riyen for your patience (I'm sooo uncomfortable being on screen) 😅

You'll notice in the video #Plushtodon has a cameo - along with awesome stickers by @andypiper @yunohost @Mastodon and @molly0xfff

Congratulations to @johnonolan and the team at Ghost on their 12th birthday! Here's John's post reflecting on the idea behind the product, some of the incredible indie publishers who have adopted it (including @404mediaco, @caseynewton's Platformer, and @drownedinsound) and what's next.

Fediverse Report #115 - This week's #fediverse news:

- @peertube launches v1 of their mobile apps
- @Mastodon shares more information on their team is growing
- @swf launches places.pub, a way to put OpenStreetMap data directly on #activitypub

https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-report-115/

Fediverse Report – #115

PeerTube has a new update for their mobile app, the Mastodon team is growing, and more.

The News

• PeerTube has officially launched their apps as a v1, some four months after the apps became available in beta. Some new features include the ability to log in with an existing PeerTube account (up until now you’d log in with a local account that only existed in the app itself), commenting from the app, and playlist and channel management options.

• Mastodon announced some updates on how their team is evolving. The organisation is currently in the process of setting up a Foundation in Europe. Mastodon is also growing their team, and the organisation now consists of 15 employees. Mastodon’s news update is a followup on their announcement from January 2025, in which Mastodon said that current CEO Eugen Rochko would step down. A new CEO has not been announced yet by Mastodon. In the previous update, Mastodon also said that they would need a €5 million annual operating budget. There are some new team members related to fundraising, but Mastodon has not made a clear statement yet on how exactly they will raise the money needed for this budget.

• Evan Prodromou of the Social Web Foundation has published a first version of places.pub. It is a service that “makes OpenStreetMap geographical data available as ActivityPub objects.” The goal is for other fediverse software to integrate with places.pub to have a standardised way to refer to geospatial objects via ActivityPub.

• A follow-up on last week’s news regarding the Fosstodon server: the server administration will be taken over, with an update and introduction by the new admin here.

The Links

• A recommendation algorithm for PeerTube videos. It is a browser extension that records your PeerTube viewing history, and uses that to generate recommendations to watch.
• PieFed development updates for April.
• The fediverse statistics site FediDB is getting an update, and can now be self-hosted as well.
• Talking Protocols With Evan Prodromou – FediHost Podcast.
• How To Make Your Mastodon Feed More Algorithmic – FediHost Tutorial.
• Ghost now gives blog authors the ability to block users.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

A new release of TootSDK - 14.3.0 📣

https://github.com/TootSDK/TootSDK/releases/tag/14.3.0

What's changed:

- Add Crystal to clients list in readme @dale_price
- Fix ExpandMedia expecting camel case when the Mastodon API returns snake case @dale_price
- Add “blur” filter action @dale_price
- Support Mastodon Instance additions @dale_price
- Fix pipeline @iamkonstantin

"If #governments are concerned about the dominance of privately-owned online platforms, they have a responsibility to run and own their own.

A logical response would be for these entities to run their own instances of software like #Mastodon—or any #Fediverse-compatible, #ActivityPub-based service. This would allow them to own their content, domain, and user verification, ensuring greater control and independence."

なんか#PhanpySocial から通知いっぱい来るなと思ったら、ちょっと前のこの投稿にいっぱいリアクションをいただいていた ありがとうございます！

タイムライン表示のアルゴリズムのない #Mastodon #Fediverse の Like って、送り手から受け手へのリアクションという性格がかなり強い気がしていて（※）素直に嬉しい

※ちょっと穿った言い方だけど、#X とかだと Like とかのアクティビティーがアルゴリズムを通じて不特定多数のタイムラインに露出する時期があったから（いまも？）送り手が不特定多数に対して「これにいいねしてる私」みたいな発信を兼ねてる部分もあった気がしてて…

あと完全時系列のタイムラインでも、こんな時間差でリアクションいただけるのは文字通り Boost バケツリレーして頂いてるからだとおもうのでありがたい（別に耳目を集めたくて投稿してるわけではないとしても）

あと、#X から距離を置いててもアカウント削除までする人は意外と少数派なのかなやっぱり（投稿した内容はたぶんアカウントを残して人は意外と気づかないことというのもリアクションいただいたきっかけとしてあるのかな？
自分はもうアカウント消しちゃったけど、そういえば投稿に書き忘れたこととして「パーマリンクページから前後のリプライがなにも見えない」というのもあって、連投された投稿の最初のアドレスだけが #Fediverse 経由で引用としてたまに流れてきてもその後の投稿を追えなかったりする（そしてそっ閉じしてる

If you're a writer/blogger/press, a friendly reminder that the 17th Year Anniversary of the #Fediverse [social] network (**not** Mastodon® social network) is fast approaching.

May 18, 2008

So, if you want to publish a new article, you can start today. There are a hundred possible angles and scopes for that article. 😉

WAFRN, the Federated Tumblr Alternative https://mkultra.monster/social%20media/2024/05/21/wafrn-its-kinda-tumblr #Tumblr #Fediverse

There was that story last month about the Turks demanding that certain opposition Bluesky accounts be silenced. They were (mostly, sort of, it’s complicated). I dug into it and came away with an essay on what we want and don’t want concerning censorship or no-censorship and how well #Bluesky and the #Fediverse might give us that: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/04/28/Censoring-Social-Media

#censorship

After reviewing FEP-5624: Per-object reply control policies and GoToSocial's interaction policy spec, I find myself leaning toward the latter for long-term considerations, though both have merit.

FEP-5624 is admirably focused and simpler to implement, which I appreciate. However, #GoToSocial's approach seems to offer some architectural advantages:

1. The three-tier permission model (allow/require approval/deny) feels more flexible than binary allow/deny
2. Separating approval objects from interactions appears more secure against forgery
3. The explicit handling of edge cases (mentioned users, post authors) provides clearer semantics
4. The extensible framework allows for handling diverse interaction types, not just replies

I wonder if creating an #FEP that extracts GoToSocial's interaction policy design into a standalone standard might be worthwhile. It could potentially serve as a more comprehensive foundation for access control in #ActivityPub.

This is merely my initial impression though. I'd be curious to hear other developers' perspectives on these approaches.

@BeAware @beaware.social

That's an impressive statistic!

I didn't know #Threads allows only one hashtag per post! 🤔

The #Fediverse is mainly #Mastodon
Threads is so very different from it.

It doesn't have an algorithm, so one can't expect "virality" that can happen on other Main stream social media.

However, there are a few kinds of posts that work really well here. For eg.:

1. Fuck Trump
2. Capitalism bad
3. Luigi is a hero
4. Privacy important
5. Zuckerberg Evil
6. Cats
7. Firefox/Linux is the best
8. Viva la Ukraine/Palestine

These posts with the right kind of hashtags almost always do well. Mastdon may have just become the Left version of Twitter, just like #BlusSky.

Threads is more commercial. Moreover, most Fedi instances block/restrict Fedi lol.

#SocialMedia

Also, I wonder why you responded from your Mastodon account when I @ mentioned your Threads account. 😅

How has your experience differed b/w the two, in terms of interaction with the people?

FEP-5624 is admirably focused and simpler to implement, which I appreciate. However, #GoToSocial's approach seems to offer some architectural advantages:

1. The three-tier permission model (allow/require approval/deny) feels more flexible than binary allow/deny
2. Separating approval objects from interactions appears more secure against forgery
3. The explicit handling of edge cases (mentioned users, post authors) provides clearer semantics
4. The extensible framework allows for handling diverse interaction types, not just replies

I wonder if creating an #FEP that extracts GoToSocial's interaction policy design into a standalone standard might be worthwhile. It could potentially serve as a more comprehensive foundation for access control in #ActivityPub.

This is merely my initial impression though. I'd be curious to hear other developers' perspectives on these approaches.
