🆕 blog! “ActivityBot is the recipient of an NLnet grant!”

Back in February, I applied for NLnet's Next Generation Zero grant. They were looking for Fediverse projects to help rewild the social media landscape. Or, as they describe it:

Small and medium-sized R&D grants between 5.000 and 50.000 euro,…

I don't have to worry about a corp waking up one day and deciding that something I posted deserves to get my account deleted.

#Fediverse #Mastodon #AskFedi

So, um, Tusky on Android let me make a Mastodon bio longer than 500 characters.

On the standard Mastodon web client, the UI is shouting at me that I can't edit it unless I reduce it to 500 chars.

I am guessing ActivityPub has no specific limit on a bio for a user, but can anyone tell me the risk/reward (and/or pros/cons) of making my bio > 500 chars?

Like, will some clients/federated servers truncate at 500 chars?

JUSTICE: HOW TO KILL META!
========================

The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents.

If you look at the numbers, Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.

Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, influencing the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.

I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.

People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )

Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.

Here's a plan of action:

1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of #Mastodon
( https://joinmastodon.org/ )

1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.

1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.

2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.

3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right Mastodon instance.

4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a random Mastodon instance for them.

5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.

6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.

7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️

Note to fediverse app and ActivityPub maintainers: we really need one and only one schema and format, based on flat text lines or .csv, for importing, exporting, migrating profiles, posts, follow(ing) lists, etc. Too many cooks spoils the stew.

Mastodon is great. But littleFedi, snac, GoToSocial, Mitra, Akkoma, etc. - they all share a mission: make sure people will be able to self host their instances without investing a huge sum.

Instead of filtering, I look at the output of good people drifting into just One Direction

• I mute them for a week
• If their output is still single directional
• I mute them for a month
• If it's still not what I'm used to I look back and mute them for a week

ad infinitum

Usually that is enough for those people to eventually start posting again as normal

I never bother them about their toots because it's their personal feed.

I am however The Master of my feed and I decide who I mute

I need the power of the #fediverse : For an upcoming presentation I am looking for examples many people will understand where the software caused consumer electronic devices not to work anymore.

E.g. company decided not to update the software which caused the device to stop, company disappeared and e.g. servers not available and therefore the device did not start anymore, etc.

Currently interested in some fresh examples I could use. Any pointers?

.. out of 10 follow requests in the fediverse I reject about 8.

I reject user accounts that do not even have a profile or their own posts or their own media on their original server page, because I consider them to be of non-human origin until then.

What do I conclude from this?
Even here in the noble fediverse, "social media" shows itself to me as a bubble of vain appearances.
Hardly anything is authentic or truthful anymore and if you post here you make yourself suspicious of untruthfulness like everywhere else!

So how do we want to defend ourselves against this flood of social engineering???

Any suggestions???

Does #Mastodon even use `contentMap` in posts (`Note`)? The #ActivityPub spec specifies a method for multilanguage posts in the form of `contentMap`, but does the rest of the #Fediverse even get to read it? Do posts that have `contentMap` but **not** `content` get to show at all?

Tooi is the successor to 'toot'. It is /way/ nicer so far.

In addition to being 'keyboard-driven' it also responds to the mouse pointer. This is efficient when using a keyboard with a touchpad.
