#ActivityPub support in #Madblog

https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com/article/Madblog-federated-blogging-from-markdown

I am glad to announce that Madblog has now officially joined the #Fediverse family.

If you want to test it out, search for this URL on your Fediverse client.

Madblog has already supported #Webmentions for the past couple of weeks, allowing your blog posts to be mentioned by other sites with Webmentions support (WordPress, Lemmy, HackerNews…) and get those mentions directly rendered on your page.

It now adds ActivityPub support too, using #Pubby, another little Python library that I’ve put together myself (just like Webmentions) as a mean to quickly plug ActivityPub support to any Python Web app.

Webmentions and Pubby follow similar principles and implement a similar API, and you can easily use them to add federation support to your existing Web applications - a single bind_webmentions or bind_activitypub call to your existing Flask/FastAPI/Tornado application should suffice for most of the cases.

Madblog may have now become the easiest way to publish a federated blog - and perhaps the only way that doesn’t require a database, everything is based on plain Markdown files.

If you have a registered domain and a certificate, then hosting your federated blog is now just a matter of:

mkdir -p ~/madblog/markdown
cat <<EOF > ~/madblog/markdown/hello-world.md
# My first post

This is my first post on [Madblog](https://git.fabiomanganiello.com/madblog)!
EOF

docker run -it \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v "$HOME/madblog:/data" \
  quay.io/blacklight/madblog

And Markdown files can be hosted wherever you like - a Git folder, an Obsidian Vault, a Nextcloud Notes installation, a folder on your phone synchronized over SyncThing…

Federation support is also at a quite advanced state compared to e.g. #WriteFreely. It currently supports:

• Interactions rendered on the articles: if you like, boost, quote or reply to an article, all interactions are rendered directly at the bottom of the article (interactions with WriteFreely through federated accounts were kind of lost in the void instead)

• Guestbook support (optional): mentions to the federated Madblog handle that are not in response to articles are now rendered on a separate /guestbook route

• Email notifications: all interactions can have email notifications

• Support for quotes, also on Mastodon

• Support for mentions, just drop a @joe@example.com in your Markdown file and Joe will get a notification

• Support for hashtag federation

• Support for split-domain configurations, you can host your blog on blog.example.com but have a Fediverse handle like @blog@example.com. Search by direct post URL on Mastodon will work with both cases

• Support for custom profile fields, all rendered on Mastodon, with verification support

• Support for moderation, either through blocklist or allowlist, with support for rules on handles/usernames, URLs, domains or regular expressions

• A partial (but comprehensive for the provided features) implementation of the Mastodon API

If you want you can follow both the profiles of my blogs - they are now both federated:

• My personal blog: @fabio (it used to run WriteFreely before, so if you followed it you may need to unfollow it and re-follow it)

• The #Platypush blog: @blog

# 📡 STRATEGIC ALERT: INFRASTRUCTURE FRAGILITY & THE SURVEILLANCE ENCLOSURE

### [I. THE CLOUD BREACH: DRONE STRIKES ON HYPERSCALE NODES]
The "Great Cloud Blackout" of early March has exposed the fatal vulnerability of centralized data. On **March 1-2, 2026**, Amazon Web Services (AWS) suffered a catastrophic failure in its Middle East regions (**ME-CENTRAL-1** and **ME-SOUTH-1**) following reported **drone strikes and "unidentified object" impacts** on facility infrastructure.
* **The Fallout:** The strikes triggered fires that cascaded through redundant power systems. The ripple effects were felt globally: **Claude AI**, banking platforms, and thousands of SaaS providers went dark for nearly six hours.
* **The Lesson:** This event proves that "The Cloud" is not a nebulous entity—it is a series of physical targets. Centralization is a liability. Sovereign nodes and decentralized hosting are no longer a luxury; they are a survival requirement for unfiltered information.

### [II. THE CBDC STRANGLEHOLD: DIGITAL EURO ENCLOSURE]
The European Central Bank (ECB) is accelerating the final phase of the **Digital Euro** rollout. Following high-level workshops on **March 4-6, 2026**, the path toward a "programmable" currency is now clear.
* **Operational Timeline:** A plenary vote by the European Parliament is scheduled for June 2026. The ECB has already selected its private platform providers to begin a 12-month pilot in late 2027.
* **The Privacy Trap:** While the ECB promises "cash-like privacy" for offline transactions, the draft rulebook includes **mandatory holding limits** and deep integration with existing banking partners. This architecture allows for the direct monitoring of "money velocity" and provides a kill-switch for individual financial sovereignty under the guise of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.

### [III. THE PRIVACY DEADLOCK: "CHAT CONTROL" CRUNCH TIME]
The battle for encryption has reached its most dangerous phase. The week of **March 9-12, 2026**, will see a decisive plenary vote in the EU Parliament regarding the extension of the "temporary" chat-scanning regime.
* **The Threat:** Lawmakers are deadlocked over the mandatory age-verification and "voluntary" scanning of private messages.
* **The Border Pincer:** Simultaneously, leaked drafts of the **U.S.-EU Enhanced Border Security Partnership (EBSP)** reveal that the U.S. is pushing for access to EU biometric databases—including citizens' **political opinions and trade union memberships**. The digital border is becoming a total data-harvesting zone.

### [IV. THE RESOURCE SIEGE: BLOOD COBALT & M23 GAINS]
The physical cost of our high-tech existence is being paid in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). As of **March 7, 2026**, the AFC/M23 coalition—reportedly earning over **$1 million monthly** from illicit mining—has tightened its grip on the mineral-rich Eastern regions.
* **The Rubaya Disaster:** Following the catastrophic landslide at the Rubaya coltan mine on **March 4**, which killed over 200 people, the mine remains under rebel control.
* **Strategic Competition:** While the U.S. and China engage in a "security-for-minerals" bargain in Kinshasa, the humanitarian toll is ignored. This is the raw engine room of the AI and EV revolution: a landscape of mass graves and rebel-funded hardware.

The time has come and I'm beyond excited 😁

We just opened registrations on catodon.rocks.

I know that Catodon created a lot of expectations when Firefish fell apart, and I'm sure many of you were disappointed to see it not going anywhere for a long time. This time I am doing it on my own, so things will happen the way they should have. And, although you can now check it out for youselves, I will say this: I firmly believe that it's better, on every level, than Firefish ever was. I was in both projects, I love them both, but Catodon combines the best features of Firefish and Sharkey, while also being very debloated, being much more comprehensible, and adding actually useful stuff - and I have more plans for the future.

I'd love to hear your feedback on the UX of Catodon, and see how we can improve it further! Let's create the fedi experience we deserve =)

​Eine stimmungsvolle Aufnahme eines Frühstücks oder Snacks auf einem strukturierten Holztisch, der von hellem Sonnenlicht beschienen wird, was zu starken, markanten Schattenwürfen auf der linken Seite führt. ​Das Essen: Im Vordergrund auf einem weißen Teller liegt ein dunkles, reichhaltig mit Kernen und Samen bestreutes Körnerbrötchen. Zwischen den Brötchenhälften ist der Belag gut zu erkennen: Er besteht aus Schinken- oder Putenbrustscheiben, in Scheiben geschnittenem hartgekochtem Ei und frischen, grünen Rucolablättern. ​Das Getränk: Rechts dahinter steht eine weiße Tasse auf einer Untertasse, gefüllt mit einem schaumigen Kaffeegetränk (wie einem Milchkaffee oder Cappuccino). Auf der Außenseite der Tasse ist ein angeschnittener roter Schriftzug zu sehen, bei dem die Buchstaben „Kam“ erkennbar sind.

My thoughts on Jay stepping out as CEO of the #bluesky company and a VC-backed CEO taking her place during the interim is that those two realities currently coexist:

1. The #atmosphere is not power-decentralized enough (as in the Bluesky company still has too much power)
2. Bluesky has an excellent track record on helping build the non-bsky atmosphere and delivering on their promises to ship stuff that diverts power away from the company and into other individuals and organizations

If 2. continues, 1. will eventually not be true anymore and the atmosphere would survive a "VC money ran out so Bsky is now milking their users dry"-type enshittification

Of course the #fediverse has none of those power dynamics problem but we don't see most replies to a toot or have an account migration flow that doesn't suck so choose your poison I guess 💀

Hmm.. In case you're wondering which topics could be discussed on an unconference about fediverse integration in/for public institutions...

#Fediverse #DID #DUT

If you care about digital sovereignty and want to see your government join the #fediverse, contact them to say that #ItsTimeToAbolishX.

Help us make a list of how to get in touch with a representative in your area under this post, and don’t forget to #hashtag so your neighbours can find it 👇🏽 we’ll start:
#EU: https://commission.europa.eu/about/contact/representations-member-states_en
#USA: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials

Every day I’m more convinced that the Fediverse’s slow mainstream adoption isn’t really about usability.

People say it’s because it’s hard to join, the terms are confusing, or the apps aren’t polished enough. Maybe a little. But honestly… look at the platforms people already use.

Finding anything on LinkedIn is painful.
Trying to locate the original video on TikTok is a scavenger hunt.
Facebook is still full of weird bugs and odd UI choices.
Instagram hides posts behind algorithms.
Twitter/X constantly changes the rules of engagement.

None of these platforms are exactly “easy.”

People stay because their friends are there. Because the big creators are there. Because that’s where the conversation already lives.

And, if we’re honest, because these platforms are engineered around a very effective reward loop: notifications, likes, infinite scroll. A dopamine machine. You learn the confusing terms and awkward interfaces because there’s a constant reward for doing so.

So yes, making the Fediverse easier to join absolutely helps.

But what would help even more is something simpler:
more mainstream, recognizable, official accounts showing up here.

That’s how networks grow.
People follow people not platforms.

Hey #Fediverse! See you all at the 1985 California Computer Show.

Advertisement for the California Computer Show, May 14th–15th, 1985, 12:00pm–6:00pm, at the Palo Alto Hyatt Hotel, 4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California. "California Computer Show" is written in large pink cursive script with drop shadows over a gray grid pattern. Tagline at the bottom reads: "Northern California's only TWO-DAY event dedicated exclusively to OEMs and sophisticated end users."

When someone asks me what the #Fediverse, #Mastodon or #ActivityPub is I'll use this illustration from UNIX Review, April 1985.

Zehra (muslimisch, aktiv bei den #Grünen) und ich (evangelisch, seit Jugend aktiv in der #CDU ) wurden übrigens auch gestern wieder von einem linksdualistischen Account via Mastodon angeraunzt. Vorwurf: Wir sollten gefälligst nicht gemeinsam den Ramadan feiern, denn wir führten mit unserer interreligiösen Familie doch nur „das Patriarchat“ weiter. Das störe doch sehr…

Rechtsdualistische Beschimpfungen von #X - ern erfahren wir ja fast täglich, alle paar Wochen kommt eben auch ein linksdualistischer Anwurf via #Fediverse hinzu. Mein erstes Shitstörmle erlebte ich hier auf Mastodon, weil ich als Vegetarier „nicht vegan genug“ sei…

Und was haben wir heute also als Familie gemacht? Wir waren gemeinsam & geheim demokratisch wählen. 🗳️

Weil wir an die #Freiheit des Grundgesetzes glauben, verschieden & dialogisch sein zu dürfen! Gegen jeden (!) feindseligen #Dualismus , auch auf #Mastodon … ❤️🇩🇪🇪🇺🙌

Habe grade lange über eine Möglichkeit diskutiert wie man sich einfach zu einem #Fotografie Walks verabreden kann. Technisch mit wenig Aufwand für den Nutzer, ggf. Möglichkeit für Gruppe und ‚Teilnahme’ Button ggf. mit Max Teilnehmer Zahl.

Das beste was uns eingefallen ist war Spontacts/Gemeinsam erleben. Gibt es sowas eventuell auch als offenes System im #Fediverse? #followerpower

I put my "Why the #fediverse" thread [1] and the "Bluesky is centralised, IMHO" one [2] in a blogpost to make it a more permanent record and a better link target. Every public reply to this toot will show up as comment under the blogpost, because ... ActivityPub Magic! :)

🎷🦣 Mastoshare update — future of Mastoshare

Mastodon recently put a service that covers some Mastoshare functionality — sharing posts.

https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116160846932470950

What that means for Mastoshare? Mastoshare was never about money, but with a goal of making better UX of Mastodon. I believe semi-centralized solution is the right way, as it has network effect — the more people use one website the easier it is for everyone.

A buncha yall are way way more radical than me, and that's how I know I am not in the wrong place for once.

Hi! I'm interested in joining Fosstodon because I'm following the FOSS / Android privacy ecosystem (F-Droid, GrapheneOS, etc.).
If anyone has a spare Fosstodon invite, I’d really appreciate it.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@staff/115849914607258480

Am I the only one who missed this announcement. I just now and then checked the local and global timelines on Mastodon, but on mastodon.social this not possible anymore and I miss it.

Would this maybe be a financial decision and how does this fit in with the idea of the Fediverse?

#Mastodon #GlobalTimeline #LocalTimeline #Fediverse

I remember feeling so optimistic back in 23, 24 when the BBC set up a #fediverse server. I thought it'd be the first of many - today the BBC, tomorrow every European government.

It's a pity that came to nothing. My understanding is that it was partly due to them not wanting to be legally liable for replies to their posts (the way that newspapers are responsible for comments on their websites). But maybe it's also that Mastodon just didn't make it mainstream, the way Bluesky has.

刚刚起步Lemmy小实例，如果想向外，不接入整个联邦宇宙充当公告板，差不多没有活路，或者说干脆作为自己的博客（做了两个月实在做不动了，最后不小心删库结尾233）

根据去年部署使用Lemmy的经验，Lemmy也算是fediverse里比较中心化的平台
Lemm的口号是取代Reddit，但是用下来，只能说Lemmy绝对取代不了Reddit......
但是作为公告板还是绰绰有余的：联邦互联

Bei den #Landfrauen Olsberg

Mail: siehe Bilder.

#OlsbergSocial #DigitalIndependance #Digitalisierung #LandfrauenOlsberg

Alt...

Foto eines ausgedruckten deutschsprachigen Briefs. Der Brief beginnt mit der Anrede „Sehr geehrte Landfrauen in Olsberg und den Ortsteilen“. Vorgestellt wird die Online‑Plattform olsberg.social mit der Webadresse https://olsberg.social. Der Text erklärt, dass es sich um ein lokales soziales Netzwerk für Olsberg handelt, das nicht‑kommerziell, werbefrei und ohne Datenhandel betrieben wird. Es wird mit großen Plattformen wie Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Google oder X verglichen, jedoch als unabhängige Alternative beschrieben, bei der keine algorithmische Steuerung von Reichweite erfolgt. Ziel der Plattform ist ein digitaler Raum für Information, Austausch und Sichtbarkeit für Menschen in Olsberg. Außerdem wird kritisiert, dass große Internetplattformen kommerzielle Interessen verfolgen und Entscheidungen nicht lokal getroffen werden. Der Brief erklärt weiter, dass olsberg.social auf der offenen Software Mastodon basiert und Teil des sogenannten Fediverse ist. Am Ende werden die Landfrauen eingeladen, die Plattform auszuprobieren und einen Einladungslink (teilweise geschwärzt) an Mitglieder weiterzugeben.

Alt...

Foto eines weiteren Abschnitts eines deutschsprachigen Briefs oder einer E‑Mail. Der Text erklärt, dass Menschen aus Vereinen und Gemeinschaften im Sauerland sich auf der Plattform olsberg.social einbringen können. Es wird erwähnt, dass perspektivisch auch die Gründung eines eigenen Vereins geplant ist. Ein Informationslink lautet: https://olsberg.social/info. Der Absender bietet an, bei Rückfragen zur Verfügung zu stehen und bittet darum, die E‑Mail an weitere Mitglieder weiterzuleiten, um das Angebot zur digitalen Souveränität der Stadt bekannter zu machen. Am Ende stehen eine Grußformel und die Signatur: „Vielen Dank und freundliche Grüße, Christoph Köster“. Darunter folgen Links zum Profil https://olsberg.social/@admin und erneut zur Informationsseite https://olsberg.social/info. Ein abschließender Hinweis erklärt, dass olsberg.social eine privat betriebene Mastodon‑Instanz ist und in keiner Verbindung zur Stadt oder Stadtverwaltung Olsberg steht und kein offizielles Angebot der Stadt darstellt.

Hmmm, is there any way to share a hashtag with people that aren't necessarily on the Fediverse? On my Friendica I used categories so I could share just some of my posts with people, but obviously that's not an option on most Fedi services, so maybe a way to link people to a hashtag, at least the public toots and woots?

@FediTips any ideas?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/116183535316096143

Some news from #HolosSocial development. The latest release moves media processing to the device. Videos are transcoded locally before upload. Users can store media on their own S3 or WebDAV server, and the resulting URLs are used directly in #ActivityPub activities. The relay server handles neither transcoding nor media storage. Each user brings their own resources to the #Fediverse.

@HolosSocial@mastodon.social

#Holos 1.0.0-rc-4 published!

Sync is now much faster thanks to Bloom filters. You can set a TTL on posts when composing or configure a default in settings.

If you have a WebDAV/S3 server, the app can upload media there and use public URLs in ActivityPub.

Videos can be compressed before upload. An experimental vertical video feed is available.

A new Discovery timeline lets you explore posts by tags and language.

Just getting this out there. I've had a few DM's now about this image and reuse (you very polite copyright respecting people)

I created it (it's a title card from my stream) using downloaded assets but in compliance with their licenses although correct me if I'm wrong.

I absolutely do not mind anyone using it for any purpose if it's boosting awareness of the Fediverse.

#fediverse #mastodon #supportthefediverse

Support the Fediverse. Social media is better without the billionaires.

Hi, I'm V! #introduction

I am a late-fifties white, fat #disabled #nonbinary person. I live with my partner D & his partner, E, who also hang round on fedi. Sadly, we currently have no pets, but we help out our neighbours & friends with dog walking and pet sitting.

I have a bunch of chronic illnesses & conditions that limit my energy, so posting & response times can be slow and sporadic, but I do my best. I will CW when appropriate and provide image descriptions. I don't boost images without descriptions.

I love the #fediverse; however, I am aware of the problems this place has, especially for #BIPOC . I try to use it critically & thoughtfully and do my best not to be part of the problem. I do appreciate being called out/in if I fuck up, but I recognise that responsibility is mine to do better.

I am trying to unlearn a whole bunch of #racist #colonialist crap amongst other things, so I can be a halfway decent human. BTW Fuck whiteness, white supremacist, nationalist bollocks in any form or shape. I won't argue with you, I'll block & report you.

I like #sewing , #art , #gardening , #craft, #photography, and #Slowmaking stuff in general.

What if every phone could contribute to the #Fediverse, not just consume it?

Short-form video means heavy server-side transcoding for every clip. But your phone can handle it. Re-encode, resize, thumbnails, all done locally. Then push to your own #S3 or #Nextcloud.

No transcoding server. Just simple storage.

We can decentralize the compute, not just the network.

We're working on it

#HolosSocial

The fediverse is quite a thing.

This morning, my first (of likely many) rejection emails popped into my inbox. It stung little, I admit. It's part of the process.

I stepped away for a networking opportunity, and when I got home, I noticed Feditext had a ton of notifications.

Curious, I checked and see that people were boosting my job search post left and right.

I don't know what set that off, but it happened exactly at the right time.

Much appreciated. ❤️

#ThankYou #Fediverse

Since @dansup doesn't have enough projects, can I suggest more?
Just kidding to a degree, but maybe take over the FediShare button for browsers? Only reasons for the suggestion is that its no longer maintained, its a bit out of date lacking Wafrn or Holos for example, and most importantly, because it never supported any of your projects.

🚨 Mastodon DOES NOT ask you to verify yourself, EVER. 🚨

Currently there are scammers who want you to click a link by acting like #Mastodon staff

Please REPORT these accounts so we can ban them across the #Fediverse

WE DO NOT VERIFY PEOPLE ON MASTODON

I've always wanted to be able to filter my #mastodon feeds by people I'm following or hashtags, instead of one huge noisy feed of both.

I've got enough working now I'd love for others to give it a shot, everything is stored in your browser, no tracking or servers collecting data.

if you have a few minutes I'd love others try it out or reshare

Once again, the Open Social Web community is meeting online for the global FediForum unconference, to discuss, teach and learn, and move the Open Social Web forward.

If you think the commercial social media platforms are, let’s say, “not perfect”, and you are looking forward to alternatives that are:

• decentralized,
• community-governed,
• based on open protocols (such as ActivityPub, ATProto, and others),
• open-source,
• open for innovation,
• or all of the above and more!

Consider joining us and help the community build the future we all want to see.

FediForum is scheduled from 8am to 1pm Pacific Time, which is 17:00 to 22:00 Central European Time. This allows people everywhere from central Europe and Africa to the west coast of the Americas to participate. We’ve had some brave souls come to FediForum from the Asia-Pacific region, too, so don’t let that deter you if you live there.

@dansup That would be amazing. I would love to help you any way you need, and I can chat whenever it's good for you.

And, don't forget @Bonfire - they're also building to the same standard. #E2EE will be awesome for the #Fediverse.. but only if there's general #interop between different projects.

If you want some fun bedtime reading before we chat, I'm collecting all of my notes on the project here: https://emissary.dev/e2ee

That page includes links to the spec, Github, and other stuff.

Sorry Brent and the half dozen other inquirers, Loops and Pixelfed is not for sale!

I'd be lost without my babies, and even though I'm scraping by financially and could really use that money, I don't think I could live with myself if I sold out.

The #Fediverse deserves leaders who remain ethical and loyal to building better, safer social web alternatives.

We're funded by people like you ❤️

Would you consider selling loops.video...? Hi, My name is Brent from ******.com, the worlds largest M&A Marketplace. Would you consider selling your business - loops.video I've been diving into your niche and traffic ranking, and I have buyers in mind who acquire businesses exactly like yours... I would love to talk you through it in person on a quick call. No obligation of course. Also, you can get a complimentary valuation here when it suits you. Just hit reply, and let's organise a time to chat... Take Care, Brent

Mastodon.bd is finally up and running.

It’s the first Bangladesh-focused Mastodon instance on the fediverse. I’ve been wanting to see something like this exist for a long time, so it feels good to finally put it online.

Even though the focus is Bangladesh, the instance is open to everyone, regardless of where you’re from.

#bangladesh #fediverse #mastodon #asia #dhaka

Does anyone know of an exiting chromium compatible extension that can use Mastodon filter lists and apply them to pages while browsing?

Say I have muted a word, if a page contained that word in a p, heading, etc - the entire associated section/article is just hidden/removed from the DOM?

#fediverse #NeedSpaceForOtherThoughts

One of my favorite things to do here is to periodically browse the #introduction tag and boost new people. Such a simple way to help new people get a foothold and make the #fediverse thrive

In the #Fediverse, most software is built around a specific platform model. One for microblogging, one for video, one for photos... and new ones will keep coming.
With #Holos, your phone runs your own #ActivityPub server. You control your data and can use your own domain as your identity.
Built on the protocol, not a platform model, Holos is not limited to a single use case. One account that adapts to your needs.
That's where we're heading, and we hope for your support.
