#Poll āļø
I sent a #ThoughtProvoker contrasting Opt-in vs. Opt-out for services that developers launch on our #fediverse.
Thought was that on a #Prosocial web people are fully in control of the services they want to use by opting in, thus providing #consent.
Opt-out is where in many cases de-facto a developer becomes the decider how your content and data is used. To fedizens its often unclear what services interact with their online presence, and in what way. Plus they have to discover the opt-out mechanisms themselves.
https://social.coop/@smallcircles/117285470634849684
My post got an angry reaction from a #fedi developer, who misinterpreted what I said. The devs I know act with the best intentions! Yet some are exasperated with "We can't have nice things with only opt-in".
Recently a discovery service was launched with opt-out based on Indexable flag and Bio tags.
ā What should be the default for fediverse apps and services ā
And while you're at it, vote on my other related poll:

Contrary to what some people say, #HolosDiscover is not a scraper. It speaks #ActivityPub, and every deleted or edited post is immediately updated in the database.
It relies on the #Fediverse indexable flag, with stricter rules: accounts with #NoBot or #NoIndex in their profile, and locked accounts, are excluded. Only public posts are indexed.
I recently fixed a bug where the #NoIndex tag in bios was not respected. Sorry about that.

This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum.
Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum.
It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.
As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.
IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno Anarchist Manifesto to build your own site(s) to participate in the Open Media Network. Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.
The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.
We publish TPF on Fridays so you can enjoy it over your weekend.
There’s good stuff in all of our categories, so please take the time to enjoy and bookmark the items most relevant to your goals. We hope you are inspired to create new ones.
Or you can scroll down to your favorite section.
FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And may involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. FuckĀ“em.
Two notes for this week:
1. I’m attending WordCamp Bretagne this week so coverage of some of Friday’s happenings will slip to next week.
2. We switched and customized our theme to make our home page a little more accessible.
Featured Item(s)
Smashing Frames writes:
Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab.
(It) is part of the new fascism. But it’s also a good case study about how little political resilience is built into FLOSS. The libertarian roots have not only made the whole movement ready for the taking by corporations but also by fascists.
And sadly many influential organizations in that space are not up to the task of putting their foot down.
They also write:
There has been this shift towards equating āprogressā with ātechnological innovation and developmentā: society is moving forward if tech produces more shit. You might have picked up on me mentioning that todayās vision of the future is just a thinner iPad every few months.
But if āprogressā ā which is a political term about values that one aims to manifest or express or expand in the world ā is just replaced with following PR messages about whatever tech wants to sell next, that does not only make the space of possible futures paperthin, it also puts massive amounts of power into techās hands.
And I donāt just mean economic and political power (which is also true and needs to change massively, rapidly and aggressively). In this context I mean narrative power.

Where Waterfox stands on AI and LLMs
I think most “anti-AI” positions are really anti-GenAI slop positions. As the author notes machine learning etc. has been around for decades. Still, modern “AI” is intentionally labor weakening fascist techshit based on theft and created by and for techbros. But perfection is not possible and this shit is unavoidable, so keep it as local and open source as possible and minimize your use of LLMs. Avoid LLM-built tools as best you can. The environment is already fucked.

Fedify
Fedify is a Typescript framework that lets you build for the Fediverse but skip the boilerplate.
Permanent aside here (unfortunately)
This is a perpetual pet peeve because many people aren’t able to comprehend ā¬ļø:
- The Fediverse is for communities (private, semi-private, formal, informal, or otherwise)
- and the Atmosphere is for the masses (unwashed, washed, or otherwise).
- and corporate social media is for naive fools and intentional cunts.
So, recognize their natures and don’t ask the two protocols to go against them. This is also why we have accounts on both platforms and use them differently.
Fediverse

Decidm is a quasi implementation of both the Open Media Network and Techno Anarchism but from a more formal governing practice. It is a democratic tool for participatory democracies like a city, NGO, or a collective.
You can learn more about Decidm here.

- Thatās it for this week. Please share The Programmer’s Fulcrum.
- Follow us on Surf or at @thefulcrum@thefulcrum.dev on the Fediverse or at @thefulcrum.eurosky.social on the Atmosphere for daily coverage.

@smallcircles@social.coop but I agree that some do get confused by assuming that #Mastodon (a software), #Fediverse (an ecosystem), #ActivityPub (a protocol) are synonyms and some pedagogy is needed, especially to journalists who write about this.

RE: https://fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/117292026871249608
Hehe, I do like the sound of this, though.
"Those involved in the Fediverse seek self-determined, democratic communication, cooperation and often collaboration outside of the large networks dominated by often right-wing populist US billionaires. The memes range from Star Wars Andor to the beginnings of the Internet, the web and the open source movement. The visitors to the Fediday went home with a very special feeling: It is quite possible that a movement is emerging here that has not yet reached its full potential."

I notice you chose not to reply, perhaps because you still bristle or parked for later. As developer / enterpreneur you may not agree with my take that there's a larger #social context to take into consideration. One which is now undervalued in favor of pure technical mindset wrt #fediverse evolution.
Everyone is free, within reasonable limits, to do as they wish. Such is the beauty of our grassroots environment. However, important technical stakeholders who follow a pure technical approach ARE a socio-cultural subject matter that deserves to be discussed when it comes to thinking about fediverse's future.
It's unfortunate there's no good space for such discussion other than the fleety and ephemeral fediverse microblog itself. I intended https://coding.social and its forum https://discuss.coding.social to be one such space, but unfortunately lack finances to continue that work atm.
Perhaps you'll read my blog post. I'm curious for your vision on the Future of Social networking.

Really, this is important. Hashtag are 'the algorithm' here on the #fediverse - And you tell the fediverse what you like by following #hashtags - have a look at 'trending' on your instance to see what tickles your fancy. Or look at live feeds->all for the firehose, and see if you can spot something there interesting.

Dear Fedi friends,
I want to share a discovery that made my MONTH.
10 days ago, while I was putting together the slides for my presentation at Berlin #FediDay, I noticed a new entry in the @cercle directory (the Mastodon instance set up by the Service NumƩrique of the French Ministry of Culture):
āØ @MuseeOrsay āØ
Ouiiiiii!
Paris' super prestigious museum - that welcomed 7.3 million visitors last year - is now on the #Fediverse !!! š„³
Let's give MusĆ©e d'Orsay a warm welcome ā¤ļø

Opt-out happens where random fedi app developers are your landlords who decide what services you get, and who were still benevolent enough to give you a choice (if you happen to find out about these services).
Opt-in fits a public online space where you have your own home and self-sovereignty to decide the services you want to consume in your social household. It is where you have control of your own life.

We're entering #election season in the #USA. The #midterms
That means something for you:
You will see an increase in #trolls
Messages along the lines of
"Nothing ever changes, both sides the same, waah" #cynicism
And
"The candidate is unideal. Allow me to amplify and manufacture high holy outrage on the point" #perfectionism
All of which is designed to suppress the #left #vote and help #MAGA
You have been warned. Brace yourself

The idea for our Foundation sparked in an unlikely place, on the very Big Tech platforms we now oppose.
But, once upon a time, they did something amazing. They let people learn from other people.
That idea has fuelled the journey of the Newsmast Foundation, leading us to where we are today. Now, we understand that social media isn't bad, we just need to reclaim what made it work in the beginning. Community learning.

A colour image of a ripped Ukraine flag flying against a blue sky over a pile of rubble. Over the image, text reads:
Knowledge for all for good.
Following Russiaās invasion of Ukraine, a network of experts, citizens, and journalists came together. On social media they informed the world.
But social media has changed in those four long years. The platforms they used to inform are now filled with misinformation and hate.
Social media isnāt the problem. Itās the platforms that care more about profit than knowledge.
At the Newsmast Foundation, weāre building to protect networks of experts, citizens, and journalists. Knowledgeable people sharing their knowledge for all.
Join us.

Happy Friday #fediverse! I have a new #askfedi conundrum I would like some help with if possible. I own a couple of blank #NFC tags (still in packaging, unused) and would like to write some data to one of them. Specifically, the equivalent of a #vcard.
The caveat is that I need to install whatever app that a #degoogled #android can run. #fdroid does not have any apps that will do the job. I don't have access to any other phones, nor do I have access to a non-linux machine.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
