Is there an ActivityPub platform that will host PDFs and the like; basically a PixelFed for documents?

#askfedi #activirypub #fediverse

I'm back on @pixelfed full time and can't wait to ship the new webUI and mobile app redesign.

every page, screen and API endpoint is getting federation, performance and network improvements, and every known bug is getting fixed.

1 million people call home, and few fediverse platforms can say that.

you deserve the polish Loops got, and now I have the time to deliver it.

stay tuned 🚀

⚠️ Word is from Admins and Mods, Russian bot farm accounts are becoming a real problem so the advice I'm hearing is, carefully vet new accounts following you and any you might want to follow.

Thanks to
@crapaud for providing this resource specific to the aforementioned Russian bot farm

edit: Look below this post--I will add a couple articles about how to spot a bot account

How does Write Freely compare to Mastodon? Do you get any sort of user interaction? As a series of interconnected platforms, is it growing?

Bislang beste Zusammenfassung der Problematiken von #Meta, #Facebook, #Instagram, #TikTok und Co., #Zensur und #Selbstzensur und somit Manipulation der öffentlichen Meinungsbildung.

Deswegen #unplugBigTech und #DIday und ab ins #Fediverse!

So, last week was crazy 👀

The team travelled across the Channel to Amsterdam for the @publicspaces conference. There, we met with an amazing group of people - leaders in the social media space, politicians, journalists, lecturers, and many many more cool people.

And, if you didn't hear, we won the Grand Prize at the inaugural Open Social Awards 🏆️ ✨️

Here's a taste of what it looked like through the eyes of the Newsmast Foundation team...

A layout of four images. A group photo of awarded winners stood on stage. A close up of the 'trophy', a glass cube with a dandelion frozen within, in a winners hands. A black man, Rudy Fraser, delivering a keynote speech. Two white women holding up paper reading 'The European Social Stack'.

A layout of five images. A woman in a yellow t-shirt, Elena Rossini, and a man with glasses, Tommi, smiling into the camera. A man in a black suit sitting on a children's play park toy and pulling a funny face. A panel of four people, three men and a woman, presenting a paper (The European Social Stack). Two men concentrate hard as they play a video game with coloured steering wheels. A man and a woman focus on an intense game of Connect4.

Goed artikel van @Marloezovic over Mastodon, BlueSky en de Fediverse.

React-like syntax with WebComponents.

​After spending some time with Lit, I really appreciated its lightweight footprint but wasn't a fan of the class-based components. While Vue offers a great approach, I still prefer the intuitive nature of React's syntax for debugging and deterministic rendering. This led me to a challenge: could I build a UI framework using WebComponents that completely eliminates the need for transpilation?

​I have written a breakdown of the concept, the architecture, and where I want to take it. I highly invite you to take a look, check out the code, and explore the live demo.

* How it works: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/projects/dim/dim-jsx-webcomponents
* Checkout the code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim
* Storybook demo: https://dim.positive-intentions.com

​Please note, while the project is open-source, this is a personal exploration rather than an attempt to launch "yet another framework." It is not production-ready and is built for my own upcoming project migrations, but I am sharing it in hopes that the methodology is educational or interesting to the community.

​I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to discuss the implementation details.
