The conflict in Venezuela has reached the next step. Yesterday the Americans and their Colombian puppets sent an "aid convoy" to the Venezuelan border. Now they claim that the Venezuelan government attacked an destroyed the convoy. But luckily we have pictures of the event, where we can see that the trucks did not even make it over the border.

Is there anything like an #ActivityPub based #Wikipedia alternative? I think this would be a really cool project, and if it doesn't exist, it should be created. I would be happy to help write the concept, but most likely not the programming side.

If you are wondering why this is important, the gist of it is that Wikipedia is also a centralized platform, just as much as Twitter or Facebook. This causes various problems, like administrators having too much power and banning users they don't like. Articles are generally written from a capitalist/neoliberal perspective, while leftist viewpoints are censored.

Google is pushing news sites to use AMP even more. This is good for Google because they will control the domain, servers and Javascript for those websites. This way they are trying to get more control over the internet. What happened to "Don't be evil"?

We are currently having a discussion on the F-Droid forum about letting apps toot to the Fediverse. This would be used to share app changelogs, and eventually display comments from the Fediverse inside the F-Droid app. Unfortunately, none of us has experience with Mastodon/Pleroma development, so it would be very helpful if a developer could give some input.

The thread is rather long, so feel free to make a comment here or on the forum and we will give you specific questions we have.
