Sir Alderich entered the main hall and hurried directly to our Lady Joan Mastodon.

There is trouble over on CrimsonSky, he uttered, catching his breath. Fair posts are being censored, the Great Algo has free reign, the Big Money Bro is setting up camp in their fields, they even ...

My dear Alderich, do sit down. I have just made some fine Fedi brew, here, may it refresh and replenish you like a poem or a bird somg on a winter morning.

But, my Lady, over on CrimsonSky ...

Let CrimsonSky be CrimsonSky, my friend. They will do what they must do. Here, drink. Then settle and start your evening toots.

She stood up. The sun is about to set, she spoke to the crowd, it is time to jest. Let evening jesting commence.

And her knights nodded and laughed, some of the younger ones high-fived each other, and they took out their antique phones and refurbished laptops, and there was jestposting and singing all through the night.

Does the #Bluesky bridge thing use some kind of odd content-type when requesting profile data? I'm seeing these errors in my logs when my server tries to retrieve posts (as part of my reply retrieval functions):

If I'm reading that right, my retriever is failing because the bridge is trying to retrieve my profile and can't convert it to JSON. But I verified that my profile is provided as JSON for requests with these Accept header types:

application/json

…so I can't figure out what it's complaining about. I'll need to watch my varnish logs to see if I can capture one of the requests live from that perspective.

Did you know Bluesky's login-required wall is bullshit, entirely UI-based, and easy to work around?

Neither did I!

Enjoy this little how-to:

I was banned from #bluesky for calling the death of a racist, fascist, bigot who advocated gun deaths a good thing. i maintain that position 😤😁

How can you measure the popularity of a social network site? Perhaps by counting the number of active accounts, or the quality of the discourse, or even how many people reply to your witty memes.

tl;dr: free / open source Buffer.io alternatives:

I asked before but I ask again:
is there a free tool, similar to buffer.io (#opensource?) where you have to post only ONCE and it's delivered to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, #bluesky...?

I try to convince people since 9 month to #JoinTheFediverse, all of them say: "I don't have time/energy to post to another medium"

Over on #Bluesky there was a bit of a controversy over the suspension of Sarah Kendzior. I thought it was an interestingly nontrivial moderation problem, so I wrote up a little case study on how this would have been handled on Mastodon: https://www. tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20 25/11/13/Kendzior-Case-Study

Danke für die Schilderung, @GR_BsB

Weil es eben doch wieder ein #Konzernmedium war, habe ich damals mehrere Einladungen auf #BlueSky freundlich abgelehnt. Ich hatte ja schon #Facebook , #Instagram & #X hinter mir & ahnte, wozu sich auch diese US-kommerzielle Plattform entwickeln würde. Stattdessen entschied ich mich für das #Fediversum inklusive #Mastodon.

While React Native <Text> components do support a `selectable` prop, you can only copy the whole block of text.

BlueSky wrote an awesome library to handle proper selection as most users desire.

Now using it in the new Loops app, and soon in the Pixelfed app ✨

Today, senior executives from CBC/RadioCanada came to testify before the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications. I had the chance to ask a lot of questions. But I made sure to ask why the CBC is still committed to X - and why they haven't investigated Mastodon (and Bluesky).
