It seems this issue has resurrected, or resumed

My entire point (all the noise notwithstanding) focused on

Default opt-in versus default opt-out

This is an agent --> recipient transaction

Default opt-in: the recipient is opted into (and participates in) the agent's action whether the recipient --> knows of <-- the action or not

Default opt-out: the recipient is opted out of (and cannot participate in) the action whether the recipient --> knows of <-- the action or not

Neither default opt-in nor default opt-out have any logical meaning if THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT KNOW OF THE AGENT in advance

Here is one of the oldest prior discussions I participated in on Github with Ryan (snarfed) Barrett re: bridgy-fed back starting in February of 2024

Read all of it; it's very long

Here: github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/…

With that, I'm out

Y'all have fun, eh?

If you do implement some sort of opt-in system, I don't want a new notification every time someone follows me. I use fediverse software that supports both public and private posts. If I post it pub...

@davidlohner
The one thing that I just fail to get, is that federation needs to be explained to people, when it's a concept that pretty much everyone is familiar with.

Have a (mobile) phone? You're federating. Have an email address? You're federating. Have an internet connection? That's federated.

People understand that you don't have to be on the same (mobile) phone network, with the same email provider, the same ISP, in order to communicate with others. Many daily services work, regardless of the provider you're with, where you can pick and choose and leave, without anything changing.

So why is it so insanely difficult to apply this concept to #XMPP messaging or anything on the #Fediverse?

It drives me crazy sometimes.

Ie similar to how Lemmy allows users to create instances that are federated with each other, only this Discord alternative's instances wouldn't federate with each other.

Instead, each instance would be a complete silo, although instance owners would be given the option to potentially federate their instance outwards (ie to other federated platforms), if they wish.

Perhaps it could potentially be forked from the already existing Lemmy?

Discord's new age ID rules are driving users away - here's where they're headed

Unverified users will soon need to upload a video selfie or official ID to remove age restrictions.

Recently one of the posts I made got a porn spam comment and I also saw a lot of porn spam in my instance's communites. Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

Has anyone else experienced anything like that lately or is it just me?

The proposed (and widely used) fediverse logo is now part of the Font Awesome library.

Not only does adding alt-text to your media help people with disabilities help to enjoy media it also grows the #Fediverse

When people search for media on search engines the chances are higher they end up on something on the Fedi with alt text added

So indirect adding alt text also spreads our network even more!

So.. ADD ALT TEXT♥️ A brief or extended description of the media posted, super simple and you help a lot of people!

*only applies to media when your account is indexed by search

Madness, first they add #xmpp and now the #Fediverse icon also made it into #FontAwesome v7.2: fontawesome.com/icons/fedivers… 🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋💨 Woooooot!

Which EU country will be the first to officially move its public institutions to a national Mastodon instance, bringing political debate to the Fediverse and away from disinformation platforms like X?

We know some national-level instances already exist (e.g. in Germany). The question is: who will make it a political decision, not just a technical one?

If you think of another country, add it in the comments 👇

#LeaveX #EU #Democracy #Mastodon #Fediverse

• Ireland (18%, 37 votes)
• Austria (4%, 9 votes)

Hey everyone,

@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Diala Awad (@dialaawad)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

After a couple of years on the #Fediverse, I still find parts of it I hadn’t seen before. It’s so much fun to discover, figure out, and explore all the niche communities and small features out there ❤️

Today it was the "Group" user tag that made me wonder what it's all about. Apparently a #Group is used to mark #Lemmy communities.

Although it does not always seem to be applied:
mastodon.social/@worldnews@lem… (Group)
VS
mastodon.social/@world@lemmy.w… (No Group)

Within 10 days new bills arrive for our servers, media storage and emails send💸

We need your help in paying these bills so if you can and want to help out, you can do so via:

paypal.me/stuxOS
patreon.com/mstdn
ko-fi.com/mstdn
bunq.me/stuxhost
stux.me/donate
liberapay.com/mstdn

This supports all my #Fediverse related services like mstdn.social, masto.ai, mastodon.coffee, gram.social, pixey.org and some more smaller services!❤️

stux.me:~$ Support By Donation

Most if not all the work I do (online) I give away for free! Personally I dislike advertisements so I won't apply those either.

#Peertube #Fediverse can anyone help?

I've got my own instance ( https,://nomenloony.live ) but when I try to add my account on Peertube's app I get this message.

Is this a configuration error? Can anyone help? I'm quite new to this so try not to lose me!

There is one thing above all else that we should remember in the Epstein scandal:
The victims and their right to justice.

Epstein also teaches us that the death of the perpetrator does not end the suffering of the victims and their right to justice.

We will never do justice to the victims if we all just stand by and gawk at who had contact with Epstein.

Seriously, a lot more people on the #Fediverse should follow @endingwithali and sub to youtube.com/@hak5/videos
