Submitted a #FediverseIdea for a #FOSS Rescue bot.
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediverse-ideas/issues/34
Inspired by @mitexleo tooting about the reel2bits #Fediverse app where 3 years of an open request for help didn't yield anyone taking over the great work of @dashie

What is it?
A streaming peer-to-peer audio/video social network for the Fediverse that's compatible with #Mastodon, #Calckey, #Friendica, and others via #ActivityPub!
Along with @reiver@mastodon.social and others, I've building this app for years -- it's been in the making for a long, long time!
We're doing an upcoming beta test and are looking for volunteers who want to make some #Fediverse history!
To apply for this test, visit this link and submit your email:
I barely just finished posting about #Google's responsibility in killing off #RSS (and in what sense exactly) <https://sociale.network/@oblomov/110395233362332095> that Meta aka #Facebook confirms its upcoming #Instagram #Twitter competitor codenamed #Barcelona will “interoperate with #Mastodon” (i.e. will support #ActivityPub)
1/
#Barcelona, #Meta's Twitter competitor, will be ready by summer.
And lest you believe #ActivityPub integration was just some rumour, think again. In a slide, Meta confirms that Barcelona will indeed be decentralized and will be compatible with Mastodon.
Everyone who thought that AT protocol would easily win over ActivityPub, and that #Bluesky would kill Mastodon just because a few influencers joined doesn't understand the sheer marketing power and pull that Meta has at its disposal.
But believe me, I'm not exactly cheering on Meta here. Generally, where Meta goes, shenanigans happen. I simply don't think Meta is capable of releasing a product without dark patterns.
Nevertheless, I don't think the Fediverse is even close to preparing for what will happen once Barcelona starts federating.
We should all be taking Barcelona very seriously.

snac: update to version 2.32 by artkiver · Pull Request #18735 · macports/macports-ports

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.32 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
New user configuration switch to drop direct messages from people you don't follow, in order to mitigate spam from Mastodon open registration instances.
When updating user information (e.g. the display name or the bio), the changes are also sent to the people being followed (so they have an updated description about who the user is).
Mastodon API: account search has been implemented, so mention completion works from apps; new support for blocking users (this operation is called MUTE here).

It's a fundamental question for #ActivityPub implementations. Are direct messages the same as "normal", public posts, just with a limited number of recipients or are they maybe not posts at all but instead a completely separate thing?
Technically one would think the first option. But from my admin and user perspective it would be the second one. Moderating what is visible on the public/home/federatd timeline is part of my admin job. But interfering in private communication definitely isn't. 1/2
I'm glad to announce version 2.31 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in ANSI C. This time it's mostly bugfixes contributed by fellow developers:
Fixed webfinger and curl issues, which crashed snac while trying to follow Mitra users (contributed by Poesty).
Use named semaphores instead of anonymous ones, to make it work under MacOS (contributed by Saagar Jha).
Fixed semaphore name conflicts (contributed by Poesty).
Fix warning in ugly pointer substraction (contributed by Saagar Jha).
Added user-agent to webfinger queries (contributed by Poesty).
Mastodon API: implemented notification type filters, fixed (partially) the issue with mentions without server.

✅ Community
I've said it before, what sets the #fediverse apart is our community and #activityPub compatibility.
No matter what platform you join, we all win.
Jetzt sind ja so unfassbar viele #neuhier ins #Fediverse gekommen, da lohnt es sich doch mal wieder eine kleine Grafik hervor zu kramen, mit der die Größe und Vielfalt des Fediverse angedeutet werden kann. Das Netzwerk in dem Ihr Euch jetzt bewegt, besteht bei weitem nicht nur aus #Mastondon sondern aus ganz vielen verschieden Projekten, die meist über das #ActivityPub Protokoll mehr oder weniger gut miteinander kommunizieren. Alleine meine kleine #Friendica Instanz kennt schon 30 verschiedene Projekte und das ist noch lange nicht alles.
Und auf diesen Seiten findet Ihr noch mehr Infos und Links zu anderen Plattformen:

ActivityPub
The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format.WordPress.org
Decided to try out #Calckey (@stefan)
It still feels a bit beta imo, but it’s easy to see why the design is more likely to have mass appeal – especially once it becomes a bit more stable.
I’m not yet motivated to move anywhere yet, mostly because @ivory has greatly improved the #Mastodon UX for me.
But overall it’s great to experiment in the #fediverse. You get to see the magic of #ActivityPub in action: the simple idea that the apps we choose should not bar us from talking to each other.

- Christian Pöschl from usd AG reported a XSS fulnurability in a javascript dependency in the gallery of the Frio theme that was fixed.
## What is Friendica?
Friendica is a decentralized communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr.

Excellent deep dive on the current state of the #fediverse and #mastodon, with a detailed history of the movement to #decentralize #social, and predictions about where we go from here.
ActivityPub is the next big thing in social networks
Mozilla, Meta, Medium, Flipboard, Tumblr, and so many other companies are betting that the future of social networks looks more like email than it does Elon Musk’s Twitter. And they’re betting on a little-known protocol to make it happen.David Pierce (The Verge)

It goes into detail on the companies that recently joined the club in supporting it, the previous struggles on getting social media more open, and the current trends.
Still missing is the official presence of The Verge here on Mastodon though 😉

Ask yourself: What's the key defining quality leading to success of our fedi?
Well, no. Though they're important, it isn't #ActivityPub or #Mastodon.
👉 "It's the #Culture, stupid!"
All our #grassroots efforts to slowly get where we currently are, created favorable conditions for true #Social to emerge.
And NOW we must protect that!

Fediverse has gained critical mass. The ecosystem is going mainstream, appealing to a broader audience. There’s corporate interest, and even Big Tech is pondering an entry. → This means Opportunity and Threats… now is the time to address them.SocialHub
