Tumblr to add support for ActivityPub, the social protocol powering Mastodon and other apps https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/21/tumblr-to-add-support-for-activitypub-the-social-protocol-powering-mastodon-and-other-apps/

And they mention the word ActivityPub! In the title! In a major article! Not just "Mastodon"!

Wow!

@tchambers Webhooks have a connector on IFTTT so they don’t need to wait for a Mastodon integration to show up https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks

ATTN fedizens,

The #SocialHub is dedicated to providing help to app developers, discuss refinements + additions to #ActivityPub and #ActivityStream open standards, find best-practices to improve #interoperability between apps.

➡️ @activitypub SocialHub dedicates to improving the #Fediverse.

Like all organization in our grassroots environment, people must step up to keep #community vibrant and useful. Fedi health and future is at stake.

@weex @chielk We're discussing the possibilities of implementing a plugin to work around the high potential for harm from the new edit-functionality of Mastodon, with the current idea being auto-unboosting every toot on edit with a notification to the booster asking if they want to re-boost the toot.

I saw that forum post by you discussing plugins for Mastodon, whereas all other cases I've seen are Mastodon-plugins for other platforms (e.g. Mastodon-widget/buttons/etc added to WordPress) and that's irrelevant here.
So, do you know anything about this, like... if it would be possible at all?

We made this tool public for anyone to use—just type in a website to reveal its tracking #technology (or technologies) at themarkup.org/blacklight.

@Wolthera Thanks for posting this. FEP activity is picking up, so I encourage people to visit the codeberg project and check out the various drafts. Each should have a discussion topic (soon to be linked within the proposal) that can be located through its [TRACKING] issue.

2900 people have joined the iOS #pixelfedApp beta so far!

It's kinda overwhelming to witness the rapid growth in #pixelfed, thanks to the #twitterMigration

Pixelfed is largely a 1 man team, we don't have the amount of contributors that most other fediverse projects have so there is a lot of pressure and I'm doing my best. ❤️

This is pretty interesting: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-5624-per-object-reply-control-policies/2666

Basically it's a proposed extension to #activityPub to indicate the original post is not expecting replies, which is very useful from a harassment and spam handling perspective.

Afaik, peertube already implements something like 'commentsEnabled', which does a similar thing.

(I'd boost @weex 's post for this, but it seems he forgot to post this particular proposal)

@liaizon The site's user metrics say 146,855, see https://netops.counter.social/d/c0feK4F7k/countersocial-user-metrics?orgId=1&refresh=1h

Great news, @internetarchive is now the official Internet Archive Mastodon account. Accept no substitutes! We also have @brewsterkahle , the ever-fascinating founder of the place, and more coming soon. Hop on!

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.
