Continuwuity 26.6.0, the lightweight Matrix chat server, is finally out! This is by far our largest release ~~ever~~ yet! There are so many incredible improvements in this release, and there's never been a better time to get started! […]

#mastodon's #activitypub inbox treats object types in tiers. `Note` and `Question` are supported directly. A second tier, `Article`, `Page`, `Image`, `Audio`, `Video`, and `Event`, gets converted to a title, a summary, and a link; content itself doesn't show. Anything outside both tiers is […]

RE: https://kafeneio.social/@foufoutos/116895268539228193 The so-called European "Socialists" in Brussels have drifted a long way from socialism. They are managers of the #neoliberal consensus rather than challengers of it, an uneasy stinking mix of careerism, bureaucracy and political […]

Chat Control 1 is back. By a margin of 314-276, the EU Parliament voted to reject the legislation. However, since it was an urgent procedure, an absolute majority of 361 votes was required. As a result, the majority lost and Chat Control 1 passed. The urgent […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

This remains one of my least favorite features of #ActivityPub. 1. It violates fundamental type safety principles. 2. "without authentication" means that it needs to be accessible to random people on the internet if read literally, and you would not believe the […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

One thing has shifted over the last few years: it's becoming #mainstreaming to recognise that #neoliberalism is a #deathcult. Endless growth on a finite planet. Privatised wealth, socialised costs. Extraction dressed up as "common sense." Recognising the problem is a start. The harder step […]

#mastodon_v_4_6 : “The quality that sets our #collections feature apart is that you can control which collections your profile appears in. If you aren’t opted in to our “Feature me in discovery experiences” preference, you cannot be included in collections at all. If you are opted in, you will […]

It’s here! Today, we’re announcing the launch of Blacksky-Only Posts! Now, anyone with a blacksky.app handle or anyone on the Blacksky feed can make a private post on blacksky.community. This marks a significant step forward in advancing permissioned data on the open social web.

🆕 blog! “A bug which only affected left-handed users” Verily, some of our brethren (and sistren) be afflicted with a sinister disposition. While the righteous scroll using the thumb of their right hand - as is good and proper - an accurs'd minority swing the other way. Look, you try writing an […]

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116880003584050912 The weirdest thing about this post is how many people twist themselves into knots to still be allowed to publish slop on Codeberg. Microsoft will happily host all your vibe coded messes on GitHub. But we know what it's about, right? It's […]

"What we mostly seem to be getting are slopcoded projects nobody, not even their “creators” care about, so they just get abandoned and deleted as quickly as they were dredged up from the bottom of the programming barrel." (Original title: Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within […]

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116880003584050912 And there's a second poll, about whether Codeberg should itself commit to not training generative models on user data that should have arrived in members' email inboxes!

If you are a member of Codeberg e.V. please take the time to participate in the poll that was just sent out about banning vibe-coded projects on Codeberg. Please agree to the proposal. Slop can live on GitHub.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/116878877635203757 Congratulations to @dansup on the new and improved fediverse.info! Make sure to check it out, and while you're at it, share it with 5 people who haven't joined the #fediverse yet 👀

For #museums, #digitalsovereignty is not a luxury — it is a #mission. The concept of digital sovereignty may sound technical. But for #culturalinstitutions it has a very concrete meaning: control over collection data, autonomy over the rules of access, and #continuityguaranteed independently of […]

Hate “The Algorithm?” RSS Is One of the Tools You’ve Been Looking For RSS is one of the best examples we have of the open web, where we can design and customize how we experience the internet, not the other way around […]

New post: Nostr and the protocol bridges. Three independently designed protocols. one emerging open social layer. Did you know Vine is being revived as a nostr app called diVine? And that it is going to federate with Loops/ActivityPub? Find out more: New […] [Original post on techhub.social]

This week, we map the visual layer of the fediverse with current numbers (June 2026): Pixelfed, Loops, PeerTube, and ... Flickr? Pixelfed: ~100K MAU across 700 servers. @dansup has been building it for eight years, mostly alone, turning down VC offers and […] [Original post on techhub.social]

This week, we cover the writing layer of the fediverse: Ghost, WriteFreely, Micro.blog, Plume, WordPress, and Flipboard. Text was ActivityPub's first real workload, but these platforms didn't all arrive at federation the same way. Ghost: a UK non-profit that […] [Original post on techhub.social]

Ain't wrong. The next decades will make this clear for everyone.

Let's talk about hashtags in #activitypub. First you need to understand: that concept does not exist in ActivityPub. Tags are not mentioned directly in the spec other than to say that the `tag` field is owned by the server and that the server shouldn't use it to modify the addressing fields […]

The apparatus to cement centralized, undemocratic power has already been built. Regulations have a part to play, but they can't just be recommendations. #ai https://werd.io/governance-can-prevent-ai-from-being-used-to-undermine-democracy-but-only-if-it-has-teeth/

🔒 A 19-year-old cybercriminal was caught despite using a VPN across multiple countries - because Windows has a tracking number built into every install that a VPN can't hide. Peter Stokes, arrested in Finland in April and extradited to the US last week, is tied to Scattered Spider, the hacking […]

EU needs to take a stand on Play Integrity. If app devs enforce Play Integrity, this means only Google Certified devices can use banking, etc. This excludes all alternative mobile OS. No postmarkOS, no SailfishOS, no Android derivatives (GrapheneOS, etc). You don't need Play Integrity. If […]

Hey @[email protected], you bot-ass cunt, I just blocked your entire instance.

Hmm. I will take a look. I added some more tags in Ghost but that should not have affected it. Thanks for contacting me. Cheers.

RE: https://hackers.pub/@fedify/2026/why-activitypub-is-hard This is a really great, technical overview of how the fediverse works behind the scenes. And really makes you appreciate that it works at all. Massive props to @hongminhee for this write-up and all their work, and those of others […]

Looking for anything on Ecosia's union busting in 2025. Employees were sick of being treated like shit and tried to form a workers' council and Ecosia went full union buster and fired as many as they could. So far I can find only Glassdoor reviews, nothing else online. (no, nothing on Ecosia […]

One thing about using #bridgyfed is there are still a lot of people on Bluesky who use whataboutism in respect to the #gazagenocide. It's nice that we don't have much of that on this side of the bridge.

Procedural trick: Governments try to rush the European Parliament with a fast-tracked procedure on #chatcontrol 1.0. 🚨 Already next week they want to force yet ANOTHER vote. This way, they try to break the resistance of the European Parliament against mass surveillance in the negotiations on a […]
