    Looked at the #Linux tag on #Diaspora again. @linux has posted 13 posts in about 2.5 hours (12 article links + a daily round-up link). Of course you know it is Tuxmachines, part of Roy's kingdom of article factories.

    This is why I rarely ever log in there anymore. Very few actual people, zillions of linkbots churning out article links in popular hashtags.

    (There was one guy that had at least three linkbots that each posted the same links within minutes of each other. I guess he could have done manual copy-pasting, but that would be boring, repetitive, and error-prone. I finally blocked him. I guess I need to do the same for Tuxmachines and similar linkbots.)

    @moon@shitposter.club Is releasing a series of "Masters of the Fediverse" #NFTs and the first one will be @schestowitz ... which is why I asked if he was even still here.

    His volume of posts on #Diaspora was so high that I finally had to unsubscribe from the #Linux hashtag. If I recall correctly, he posts a link, then one of his sites posts the link, then another site posts the link ... all camped out on the Linux hashtag.

    I haven't logged onto #Diaspora in a while. Most of my contacts don't post anymore and the tags I follow are full of obnoxious botposters.

    Although I'm thinking of spinning up an experimental (e.g., non-backed up and likely temporary) D* instance for us.

    Can you describe what you experienced? Could it have been related to the recent series of updates (kernel, systemd, glibc, etc) that have required reboots every 2-3 days for the last couple of weeks?

    So far, each time, everything seems to have come back okay, except that I'm still starting the #queuedaemons manually when they really should be automated.

    I just released v1.0.8 of pod-feeder-v2, which will continue processing queued feed items if it encounters an error posting to Diaspora instead of dying.

    #introductions Better late than never, I'm Hypolite Petovan, this isn't my official name but it is my real name for all intents and purposes. I joined the #Fediverse on #Diaspora then #Friendica late 2016 after #Facebook froze my account for using this pseudonym for 10 years straight.

    My social media policy is to read absolutely everything my follows post. As a result, I heavily curate my follow list that will never grow bigger than what it is now mainly for time constraints. Additionally, I don't automatically follow back and unfollowing isn't personal, your content just doesn't fit with my social media usage, no hard feelings.

    I like liberally to signify I read, enjoyed or sympathize with a post without having anything meaningful to contribute further.

    I also block liberally, users and whole instances alike, the world is too big and my time is too limited to give a second chance to bigots, racists, misogynists and transphobes (including TERFs). I host my own single-user node which makes any moderation decision easy.

    My own editorial line is mainly about good-natured humor and social justice. Tone-wise, I do not mind aggressiveness but I do mind who it is targeted at. I do not tolerate edgy shitpost, and neither bad faith nor logical fallacies no matter how soft-spoken they are.

    My personal interests revolve around #programming (mainly #PHP for #Friendica ), #videogames and recently #LEGO, but I'm curious about everything and have trouble specializing in anything and don't follow the latest news for any specific topic.

    Hi! 👋

    After some prompting (and much patience) from @[Daniel Doubet](/people/8abcb6301e240135df28080027f73148), pod-feeder-v2 now attempts to scrape images from <media:thumbnail /> URLs, and also supports TIF and WEBP image extensions. You can find these new features in v1.0.7

    @geniusmusing Yeah. :-(

    I think the #blockwars folks may have indirectly caused this. There are people who file complaints against client apps that don’t build in blocklists against specific servers whose moderation policies they dislike.

    I think that #Matrix / #Element competes with one or more Google-owned chat-type services. Since they gatekeep the overwhelming majority of Android users’ software installation, a good antitrust lawyer would be helpful. I’ll bet that faxing a bunch of documents to #USDOJ and various states would suddenly cause Google to decide that Element doesn’t violate their policies anyway.

    (Someone said it was “Boomers at Google that don’t understand federation”, but first of all, I’m certain that most GOOG employees are far younger than you and I, and secondly, I’m sure someone at Google understands federation, though they obviously dislike not being in control. Google Talk was federated with #XMPP, while Google Plus was basically #Diaspora with federation stripped out.)

    One great feature Diaspora could have is to "turn off comments" for certain users' posts in your stream. There are a few I don't mind following, but I could do without all the crazy mouth-breathers "derp derp derp"-ing on every post.

    "The post"{https://mst3k.interlinked.me/@Elizafox/105562613778968936} seemed to be a lot of fear-mongering, even more than the article itself.

    (1) #Twitter has millions of users. There is no #ActivityPub nor #OStatus implementation in which an instance hosted on a $5/mo #DigitalOcean / #Linode / #Vultr #VPS could handle the volume of a seamless connection with #Twitter. If they adopted AP OStatus, #Diaspora, or any other current open federation protocol, instances that didn't use firewall blocking would topple once the two userbases had sufficient interconnections (within a few hours or a few days after they started federating).

    (2) Twitter's business model is to push ads disguised as tweets. If their users could escape those and still interact with all the same contacts, they would. I'm certain that Twitter's management know this. They also turn all links into tracking links, and sell access to media (images, video, audio) uploads of important news events to news organizations.

    (3) Most Fediverse instances are financed out of the admin's pocket. Some have financial contributors, but nothing like Twitter's revenue. As the largest and best-financed instance, they would immediately have to start implementing modifications to make AP or other existing federation protocols useful to them, and those modifications would (as Mastodon's currently do) become unofficially mandatory in order to be compatible.

    (4) This isn't the first time that Twitter has considered federation, though this may be the first time they openly discussed it. Back when Identica was still a happening place (during Twitter's fail-whale days), Twitter considered federating. They didn't do it then, and I honestly do not believe they will do it now.

    (5) I'd say that Twitter's #BlueSky initiative is more meant to try to get bidirectional connections across #Facebook's moat and wall than it is to surround Twitter with a cloud of #Fediverse instances.

    It is 2021 in UTC!

    I know this because JoinDiaspora sent me a bunch of notification e-mails about people’s birthdays. (I think it just assigned YYYY-JAN-01 for anyone that didn’t fill out a birthday; as far as I remember, giving that information wasn’t even an option when I joined #Diaspora. I truly think it is betraying the “we’re privacy focused” approach they promised all those years ago. #JD, this should be something that accounts opt into.)

    @vegos I agree. To most organizations, their primary concern is reach. So they congregate on big #corpocentric #socnets, even when the central corporation running things is actively hostile to their point of view.

    Then they're butthurt when their accounts are shadowbanned.

    Years ago, I tried to persuade some local Black churches and ethic-focused organizations to join !GNUsocial and #Diaspora, but was unsuccessful. I think they all joined #Facebook, where their posts are hidden by the algorithms.

    I got lots of birthday notices in my inbox from JD. I consider it an example of "All information that you collect, you will eventually store. All information that you store will eventually be misused." Why? At the time I and most of my contacts joined, #Diaspora was _the privacy-centric network_. Birthdays were not going to be used to trigger alerts and e-mails to tell everyone about them. But here we are.

    As communicated a few months ago I'll be shutting down the following #services:

    • relay.iliketoast.net which is the default relay for the #Diaspora server software. This will happen at the end of July or soon after that time.
    • iliketoast.net Diaspora pod. This will happen at the end of August, or soon after that time. Please export your data.

    How long has that gone on for?


    Sweet. It's on #fediverse too, but I prefer RSS for everything.
