Interesting.

> And if this is something that will be integrated into the Bluesky app, or the protocol, others can copy it, and charge people less?That's the key to the whole conversation. Is there any incentive for Bluesky to make this open? Likely not. It'll likely be proprietary.

I can't imagine why any "emerging" or new early social media network isn't built on open social web protocols from the ground up.
Mondo@tchambers@indieweb.social it goes beyond social networks and into communities in general.
Forums, for example, need to reach a critical mass of users before they become self sustaining. Sometimes that number is 5, sometimes it's 500.
Leveraging the built-up fediverse community is a game changing way to get that critical mass much faster.

Urgh. Google Maps directions voice in Android Auto switched from soothing mature woman to yappy young male self-identifying as Gemini.
Mondo@timbray@cosocial.ca I noticed that too! A tad pretentious too.
It seems the amount of weird bugs happening lately has increased... no doubt due to devs shipping AI generated code without reviews.

I have one question related to activitypub.
Mondo@ropoko@mastodon.gamedev.place basically, yes.
Although it's going to be hard to ask Mastodon to support every custom object type under the sun.
What's more feasible is better baseline support for unknown object types.

New from me: Fediverse Report #158 - What is Mastodon for?
Mondo> @jaz@toot.wales said in New from me: Fediverse Report #158 - What is Mastodon for?:
>
> It seems holistic and representative of "the Mastodon community" because it happened in /our/ Fediverse, but does it truly reflect a community value?Yes, because "our" fediverse bleeds through to every one of the other million fediverses, Jaz. That's Laurens' point, I think.
What we need, and what I think you already identified with the Twit (shoot, Tŵt) app are very strong local presence. The local feed should be front and center, with fediverse-wide interactions coming to the forefront only when things escape the local bubble and go viral. A lot of that is UI. Mastodon's UI deliberately blurs the local/federated bubbles in order to chase that "public town square" feel.
It's hard to find the right balance, and as someone who like to think tech can provide the answers, I fear the answer might be that the balance is different for every single community; no one UX can correctly be applied.

FediCon 2026 will be part of FOSSY.
Mondo@reiver@mastodon.social I shall be there. Time to start brainstorming topics!

Could be potentially nice for fediverse server testing, as more implementations make the jump to final RFC 9421 HTTP signatures.
Mondo@julian@fietkau.social ah, then no, NodeBB has no support yet. That's true though that there is a step-wise upgrade pattern.
Updating our HTTP Signature lib is part of our grant funded work so it'll get sorted out soon!

Mondo@gabboman@gabboman.xyz are you coding typescript?
NodeBB is plain js. C'mon you don't need type safety. Code like its the 2000s.

Mondo@julian@fietkau.social by "can't handle" do you mean "still reliant on cavage-12"?

Rveiewing a PR where the AI agent gave itself a grade and recommended merging.
MondoThanks but I prefer the last 20% to also be ... correct?

MondoRveiewing a PR where the AI agent gave itself a grade and recommended merging. What the actual fuck.

Tweaked my #wordpress #activitypub config to use only the Blog actor, instead of both Blog and Author.
Mondo@heathenstorm@mastodon.social if the blog boosts posts by the author then it means your blog is visible on the threadiverse directly.
Otherwise it will not be.

Just realized I'm going to have to add "hand-crafted" to the list of adjectives to describe my code.

Didn't think that needed to be said, yet here we are.

Mondo@thisismissem@hachyderm.io hah okay, I'll take notes on omissions I find as well.

So... as I had foreseen it... trying to upgrade the FreeBSD Peertube instance fails because of node bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.
Mondo@joel@gts.tumfatig.net I was kind of hoping node-bibbidi-bobbidi-boo was a real package...

Mondo@thisismissem@hachyderm.io great, I'm good to implement those. I'll have to take a closer look at the FIRES documentation next week

Mondo@thisismissem@hachyderm.io any specific place you want feedback (officially)?
I have no desire for anything more than those 3.

Mondo@thisismissem@hachyderm.io have you settled on a list I can code against? iirc we had discussed
suspend,filter, andallow. Not sure if the terms have changed since. -
I've been saying for a while that we need something like FediCon in East Asia.
Mondo@hongminhee@hollo.social I think maybe there will be an announcement soon. @reiver@mastodon.social was teasing something yesterday.
