Kind of a weird #Fediverse question: do any platforms in this space offer an API for user account registration?

One hypothetical idea I’ve been kicking around is the notion of “pre-registration” for the Fediverse. Basically, a person fills out their profile, imports data archives from other networks, and maybe even finds their mutuals somehow. When they’re done, their account gets created on a random vetted instance, data gets backfilled, and follow requests get sent out to the mutual contacts they’ve found.

I think it’s a good idea, and possibly a good showcase for both the #ActivityPub C2S API and possibly LOLA. However, I don’t think any particular platform supports all of the required pieces yet.

And so today, I will be thankful for my huge panoply of fedizens.

https://www.golem.de/news/verbraucherschutz-australien-laesst-social-media-nutzer-den-algorithmus-abschalten-2609-212756.html

> Ein neues Gesetz soll den Australiern ermöglichen, die Algorithmen von Social-Media-Apps zu deaktivieren. Dann würden Nutzer von sozialen Netzwerken in ihrem Feed nur noch die Beiträge von Konten sehen, mit denen sie verbunden sind oder denen sie folgen. Wie der Guardian berichtet, bereitet die Regierung von Premierminister Anthony Albanese eine entsprechende Gesetzgebung vor. Geplant ist, dass Nutzer einer Social-Media-App bei der Einrichtung wählen können, ob sie den vom Algorithmus mit Inhalten versorgten Feed oder einen nur mit eigenen Kontakten angezeigt bekommen wollen.

Dear #auspol, my algorithm appears to be broken.

The only thing that appears in my #fediverse feed on my #tusky app are things that I am interested in, in the order that they were posted.

There is no rage-bait (other than that boosted by people who I choose to follow).

Am I using this incorrectly, or have I been opted out of the algorithm without my consent?

Black-and-white photograph of an old telecommunications panel on a street in Mumbai, India. Hundreds of thin, tangled wires criss-cross chaotically between rows of rectangular terminal blocks, creating a dense web of lines across the frame. Handwritten labels and numbers are visible on the ageing equipment, including “Taj Mahal” in black ink. The orderly rows of terminals contrast with the seemingly chaotic mass of wiring, giving the image an almost abstract quality.

Good Morning #fediverse #tzag

since returning, yet again, to Masto from my recurring Friendica & Sharkey extended frolics, several weeks ago [or is it many months now? time is illusory], i've had to grapple anew with the eternal infernal best, least-worst, web-client / front-end schema in my redoubtable . Native Masto as always is just far too frustrating to endure. #Sengi & #Mastodeck remain apparently frozen in amber replete with their numerous bugs & omissions. #Statuzer & #Phanpy, as ever, end up doing battle, with both having many persuasive Pros yet also various exasperating Cons. for several of these post-return weeks it was Statuzer winning the medal, but now i'm trying a new paradigm... Phanpy in single-column mode, with Masto Notifications opened in my Firefox-Second-Sidebar web-panel [coz Phanpy's loopy way of handling Notifications is imo its biggest weirdarse turn-off]. tick tick tick...

I'm thinking *a lot* about "Implicit Feudalism" these days - the idea that mods and admins (in the #Fediverse and elsewhere) are like feudal lords, wielding the only true power in online spaces - the power to silence other's voices.

That leaves regular users to be like serfs - bound to the land with no real power to make change besides 1) petitioning their lord, or 2) maybe leaving the lord's estate (if that's even possible).

I've got to make a decision in my writing (microblogs, Mastodon, the fediverse).

Do I focus on posting only what I'm building and what others are building.

Or do I add in posts about the dangers of some things - namely AI, Tech/FOSS projects becoming co-opted, political pressures on various tech projects.

I want to focus on what I'm building and the problems and successes around that.

I don't want to focus on warnings or callouts anymore.
- I feel like others do a good enough job on it.
- My voice and perspective on those, while I stand by them, doesn't seem to prevent their occurrence or give or contribute to solutions to similar projects moving forward.
- I feel like those callouts and warnings add to an environment of rage bait and dopamine hits.
- I don't feel like I have a big enough picture or understanding to lend enough consideration to knock on effects and unintended consequences of discussing them.

For this microblog, I think I'm going to focus on the small areas that I'm building. Namely:
- Community Building
- Mutual Aid Projects and Initiatives around Food production and distribution
- Solarpunk Ethos, Art, Music, Aesthetics, and Initiatives
- Buddhism and Engaged Buddhism, including applying Buddhism to community and solarpunk initiatives

While I personally am mindful of generalized threats and trends, I don't think I can continue to spend effort and energy on calling them out.

I think we have enough of a solid information ecosystem here that I can leave that to others and focus my efforts on the above.

This affects the Fediverse.

This affects the Internet.

This is the equivalent of the "rubber hose method" of decryption.

All technical solutions (read: all technology) is subject to politics. To political power. To political interactions.

You cannot rely on purely technical approaches. You have to have social approaches, too. Like. Actual policy and procedure geared around social and political group dynamics.

Like. How will we react when the US Govt requires that @jerry to shut off infosec.exchange servers.

Or how we'll react when a specific Mastodon server is declared part of a terrorist infrastructure. Will federating with it mean any other Mastodon server is now part of the officially designated terrorist network (what then of people that federate with a server that federates with a server that is classified as part of a terrorist network. And so on)

You cannot carry the conceit that tech alone or a purely technical approach will save you.

Backup activist, or data hoarder as people would call it now. Folders going back to 2005, 2 TB of them sitting in S3 Glacier Deep Archive for about $20 a year.

Getting anything back out of S3 costs $0.09 per GB. For 2 TB that is the price of a new hard drive, and I had made my peace with that.

Turns out AWS will hand the same bytes to CloudFront for free. And CloudFront has had a flat-rate plan since November 2025, $15 a month with 50 TB included. So the egress line item is now $15.

The restore itself still takes its time, about thirty hours for my 194 objects. Bulk tier, $5.12. Cyberduck cannot browse it, CloudFront has no listing, so a curl loop it was.

Отлично. База предпочтений готова: 2309 постов × 384 измерения.

Теперь начинается самое интересное — собственно рекомендация. Предлагаю сначала сделать офлайн-тест на уже известных данных, не трогая Mastodon:

• взять один лайк;
• найти среди остальных лайков наиболее похожие посты;
• вывести, что модель считает похожим;
• посмотреть глазами, насколько это вообще соответствует твоему вкусу.

Это важно сделать до подключения глобальной ленты: если семантическая модель понимает твои лайки плохо, сначала поправим методику.

Следующим шагом сделаем find_similar.py, который позволит указывать номер понравившегося поста и получать, например, 10 наиболее похожих лайков с процентом сходства.

Ну вот как всегда — «на самом интересном месте» 😢 Ну ниче, приду с работы — бум допиливать 😉

hi devs, i am trying to develop a server for fediverse to use in my laravel blog (newly migrated to) but i am having issue testing and verifying it actually works in real life.
anyone know any tool to use to debug it easily? for now i only managed to run "activitypub-testing" but looking for other options ideally that do not imply running my own mastodon instance and checking its logs. #php #laravel #federation #programmer #fediverse #testing #developer

When _YOU_ look at _YOUR_ profile picture on the screen, it [FACES] (looks)...

EDIT: you guys are going to give me a stroke - if there is a face in your profile picture, is it facing right or left.. dont think too much about it. dont worry about the eyes. just generally... my profile picture looks to the right, for example. OK COOL

EDIT7: OK, how about this - where does the NOSE / BEAK / SNOUT / ? point to.

EDIT8: I wish I never made this poll.

EDIT9: If you have an ANIMATED avatar, then judge it on the 1st frame.

EDIT10: If there are both a MIRROR REFLECTION as well as a FACE, decide on the direction the FACE is facing, not the reflection.

EDIT11/12: By STRAIGHT AHEAD I mean looking DIRECTLY at you!

(boost this, i beg you - this is important.)

#introduction

Hello (again), after a brief posting hiatus and a search for somewhere to migrate to, I am back on Mastodon! I've been on the fediverse since 2023 but grew tired of the mastodon.social experience and felt like it was time to spread my wings.

A bit about me: I'm a 30-something fellow living in midwestern USA who works two jobs and takes care of two pets at home. I love #retrocomputing #retrogaming #writing #webdesign #electronicmusic #nature and many more things I can't think to list at the moment.

I manage a community for PC gaming on 4:3 displays that has gained a significant following in recent times, you can check us out on #neocities here: https://doesit4by3.neocities.org/

Sometimes when I have free time and feel motivated (lol) I will write a few thousand words on tech and tech-adjacent subjects. You can read my work here: https://read-only.net/

All other relevant things I've shared on the web can be found on various parts of my website: https://rootcompute.neocities.org/

Glad to have found somewhere to land on my feet and I hope I'll be able to call c.im home on the fediverse for many years to come!

#FAO has 12 social media icons on their pages and none is in the #Fediverse. They have, or someone has for them, an account here with no posts in it that I can see. I wrote to them to at least fill it with their content from Bluesky via rss, bot or bridgy (mind you, I'm not sure how these work) and put up a Masto icon , how hard can that be? If you're not doing anything atm, consider piling on. We'd maybe be their most appreciative audience, considering how captive those 12 sites are to private equity that actually hates the FAO and all it stands for.

Pixelix is now free!

After two and a half years of developing Pixelix and having it as a paid app, we've decided to switch things up and make Pixelix free for everyone.

We’re really excited to see where this takes Pixelix, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us so far.

I assumed that Fediverse could really be an open, progressive environment where to discuss ideas and grow up, with different points of view. But what I'm finding lately, is something different. Narration going from "pro AI / glasses" to "no AI / glasses" so if you don't maintain a position, you are just in favor of fascists or perverts.
The last one I had a discussion with, called me "a waste of time" because I made him realize that a sighted pervert can use his own eyes, without glasses, while I fasten my shoes strings, bent over. Instead of joining me, thinking of a proposal to satisfy blind people's needs while protecting privacy, no. The problem is me.

Same for github/codeberg stuff: do AI-built pull-requests ruin open source software? Yes.
Is AI-generated code dirty and unreliable? Yes.
Have hand made coders the right to prohibit automated code? Yes, of course.
But same coders, went on for years saying "I'm an independant coder, a small company, I have no resources to make it accessible to blind, if you need it, make it yourself".
Now, thanks to assisted coding, many of us blind are doing exactly this: trying to solve their gaps by having the bots fix the issue. Then, to help other users (and the coder himself), they place the fix in form of pull request, into the repository. And it's often refused.
But, would the original coder ever solve accessibility? No. I'm alone, it's a small company, you're the first blind user I hear, and similar bullshit.
What, the fuck, should, we, do?

From far-right, I know what to expect: they're racist, ableists, and all the worst. They don't hide it. But I couldn't definitely expect such behaviours from people caring for freedom, ethics, open technologies, etc. I'm fed up of being considered an object who can gladly be sacrificed for purity of something or someone.

"Rogue" AI is also settling on the Fediverse, at least they're trying..

The most time spend on moderation nowadays goes to removing "AI Agents" from out platforms

I still have no idea what the intentions are since it just seems like a waste of resources on both sides

Creating endless bot accounts to post nonsense is an attack on the service, nothing less

SPITBALLING HERE:
has anybody turned pics into SVGs, and embedded #AIslop prompts in them?

pinging @dansup @Gargron @evan because been pondering this too: it was easy for AI vultures to scrape images because JPG PNG WEBP GIF are self-enclosed containers. SVG, though, is an image turned into code you can embed into HTML.

so, given the #fediverse is based on permissions, what if SVG is the unlogged & poisoned default?

fedi’s login and de/federation systems might be the AI deterrent we need.
