@smallcircles@social.coop indeed, we cut off at the end of a sentence and link out to the full page for Articles (although in this case it's not very long) The cutoff is somewhere around 500 chars.

@silverpill@mitra.social is your guide on activitypub.rocks? It could help a lot of people discover it that way

"Hi gran. I have researched the matter. Only AI has the overview and recommends adding #FooBarOnSundayOnly as text. It is called a hashtag, except this one is special. And then it should work again.""Thank you, my child. Will it continue working, or break the next day like last time?""That is up to the devs, gran. That is all up to the devs.""Oh, I don't know that means. What are 'devs' now?""Nevermind, gran. It's complicated. I'll just be around to sysadmin as always.""What 'sysadmin", I am totally confused.""Umm.. just call me next time."

@amcewen I literally just got it working before Easter. This is its first real test

@team@blog.purewebhosting.nz @gwilymgj@mastodon.social Standardising Public Information Publishing I think you should discuss this with the @swf@socialwebfoundation.org group. The issue of standardization is one of the most delicate in the relationship between the fediverse and the mastosphere, and will likely be resolved in different ways based on the so-called "doocracy." It will be important for it to adhere as closely as possible to W3C standards and be conceived in simple terms. Some platforms like Friendica have already solved the formatting of georeferencing and event data. (cc @heluecht@pirati.ca is right?) Should an entity run it’s own presence much like they run their own website or email? It depends a lot on the type of organization. A nonprofit organization could simply choose to be hosted by a federated social network in its own country. A public institution could do the same, but first consider opening a proprietary instance, since, depending on the institution's importance, the traffic flow could become problematic. A private company, on the other hand, has the obligation to create its own instance. If I were to manage an organization's faith migration, I would make these assessments by evaluating the TOSs of the instances in my country and, if I found one suitable, I would agree on my inclusion in advance with the instance administrators. I also remember that careful management of a federated WordPress or Ghost server is already an interesting solution, just as a federated NodeBB forum allows you to wonderfully control the moderation of your audience of interested users. Possible disadvantages Here we must be realistic: using commercial social media for your organization's communication is NEVER perceived as a problem! It will be difficult to obtain the exact costs of managing a social media account, and the employees (or vendors) who manage an organization's social media account are resistant to change. My advice is to find out in advance whether the organization already uses automated publishing systems, whether these systems include at least the Mastodon API, and whether these systems include engagement measurement systems; If they don't use automatic publishing, you can find a system that helps them manage everything more easily. I may be unpopular, but an organization shouldn't be forced to do without commercial social media! Any organization's social media strategy should have three ethical obligations: Maintain a presence on the most popular commercial social media platforms that are consistent with its audience, to ensure maximum reach. Maintain a presence on an open-source social network that allows users to follow the organization and interact with it without being tracked, profiled, or having their data transferred to problematic countries, because this is a guarantee for its customers/users. Prioritize communication on the open social network, publishing content on the federated account earlier and more carefully, and possibly attempting to move communication to the federated account.

@blog@shkspr.mobi Such a great read. Thank you for the thoroughness. I loved this. We need a new way to measure the #smallSocial effect. Right now people saw we fail because they only look at one platform. #BigTech had to invent "monthly active users" to help people understand their "value". They're trying to measure us the same, but we're nowhere near the same. We're an evolution and no one will ever truly know how many of us there are. So I beg folks, don't look at one or two or three instances and say that because some arbitrary number goes down that we're losing or dieing. No no no. We're growing and learning and finding ways that Big Tech NEVER wanted to exist. Just because they use a yard stick doesn't mean we need to be constrained by that. EVERYONE please keep up the incredible work. I'll fight for this the #restOfMyLife. How about all of you?<span class="invisible"> #RomL #smallSocial #smallWeb #fedi #Fediverse </span>
