omg i got a remote control helicopter and car this year, best christmas ever 🎄 ☃️

John Francis

@dansup getting a whole full sized car is awesome, and getting a RC helicopter too is just icing on the cake.

I'm hoping for an RC car and helicopter next year

Merry Christmas! 🎄

This fairly frequently updated Google Docs Spreadsheet by @cassolotl was my previous best option (which is still REALLY awesome).

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

Thank you for this feature, Pixelfed & Dansup! :blobcathuggies:

Hmm. I feel like @pixelfed's decision to track exactly 137 of the most followed Fediverse :fediverse: accounts on their newest FediDB page and not one more wasn't due to any IT limitations ;) :pixelfed:

I’m exhausted and I only wrapped one gift so far, it’s almost 2024 and we don’t have self wrapping gifts wtf

Perhaps due to my own ineptitude at wrapping gifts, one of my fav techniques is to drop the gifts into a grocery sack, drop that bundle into another grocery sack, and use that indestructible fibrous tape to tightly bundle up the sack with a ridiculous amount of wraps of the tape.

You literally cannot rip open the gift-wrapping with your bare hands - you must enlist the aid of a pair of scissors and even then it's a bit of effort.
Unwrapping is fun again!

I have a simpler solution for this problem: I just don't participate in the gift system 😅

@dansup thanks for this great work. Have a merry Christmas!

@dansup how many users am I? I've got an account on mastodon, pixelfed, lemmy and peertube.

Am I 4 users?

dansup

fedidb.org should load faster on most pages, especially the Servers page (btw, you can use you keyboard arrow left + right buttons to quickly navigate between pages)

I'll be shipping a few new #fediDB features before the new year, once I get a few pixelfed presents wrapped 😁

dansup

I updated the #fediPact current events page on #fediDB!

- More stats
- Server count by software
- Domain search
- Added server age

If only matrix multiplication was cheap... (Dear Santa, I just need a few A100's)

Edit: Done! Sparklines soon! mastodon.social/@dansup/111629

I'm building new historical data apis (on fedidb.org) by request and thought a good demo of them would be this dashboard design on activitypub.network/, will go live sometime this weekend 😅

ch0ccyra1n :she_her:

@dansup Ah Xcode, how you haven't changed :blobcatgooglywtf:​

Григорий Клюшников

Xcode updates, now with more annoyance, because the iOS SDK is no longer included and has to be downloaded separately, taking ages

dansup

Is This Love?

Shining light on the current events by adding them to the sidebar, oh what will we track next?

@dansup Not sure if doable but I would be interested in a list of currently popular hashtags that's representative for the whole fediverse and not just my own instance.

ch0ccyra1n :she_her:

@dansup I would love to see an event tracking instances that operate on Tor! 🧅

BoneHouseWasps 🔶

@dansup @vantablack Thanks - just what I've been looking for. Now I just have to find a new instance and transfer.

Which will give me something to do over Christmas. Maybe avoid some washing up or something.😆

Pixelfed.social has blocked threads.net

You can optionally unblock threads by navigating to Settings -> Privacy -> Blocked Domains

@dansup That seems like a great solution! 😮

I personally don't want it blocked, obviously not because I like or trust meta (although I do think the e.e.e fears aren't realistic, the fediverse is well established and no matter how much they extend, few here will switch to meta if they cut the federation later), but because it might be a way to talk with some acquittances that only use their platform (which is literally everyone I have contact irl, nobody I know is in the fediverse).

Stefan

@dansup A very good Decision to block treads.net by default, in my humble Opinion at least. 👍 😉

DELETED

@dansup I know there’s a lot of feedback coming to you over the decision.

In trying to a strike balance between those that want to interact with Threads vs not, I think this is the most reasoned approach I’ve seen so far..

jordan

@dansup I have no dog in this federation fight, but my thought is: the nomenclature on this feels awkward. Purely as UX. Just as a normal user, if I wanted to follow a Threads user, I'm not sure my initial thought would be to unblock. That's the inverse of following, which sounds counterintuitive.

I mean I would know what to do here, but I also host my own servers. Would John Q. Public know how to follow his buddy on another service? 🤷‍♂️ Maybe the question doesn't matter.

deploying the www.threads.net user domain block on pixelfed.social

You can unblock it by navigating to Settings -> Privacy -> Blocked Domains

😎

𝐑𝐚𝐩𝐡

@dansup Can you explain how it works ?
All new users will have Threads blocked by default, and will just have to remote it to interact with Threads ?

dansup

I totally messed up with how I handled the Threads federation with my pixelfed instances

I'm sorry, and I appreciate all the negative feedback. You helped me realize I was wrong and I've been working hard to ship a solution that I think is in the best interests of pixelfed.social + .art users

Pixelfed wouldn't exist without you people, and all your valid criticisms and feedback

You have a huge impact, please remember that. Also remember to hold me accountable

Keep it coming ❤️

@dansup
I believe you arrived at the best possible solution.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Stan Wonn 🏳️‍🌈 🌹

@dansup I think this is a good solution -- default to blocking Threads but let individual Pixelfed users decide if they want to allow it.

AccurstDemon

@dansup this is pure gold, it shows that you are a humble and wise man that really care about this comunity and your apps users.

Thank you, for all the effort that you put into the Fediverse. We really appreciate it. Respect.

dansup

After some careful consideration, I have decided to block threads.net on pixelfed.social and .art by default

However, users will have the ability to unblock the domain

Soon we will be selectively enforcing authorized fetch for accounts with domain blocks so as to provide the best of both worlds.

(I'm also shipping a command for :pixelfed: admins to easily add user domain blocks for all local users)

I'm eager to hear your feedback!

@dansup Not happy. I will unblock it for my account as soon as that feature is available. Could you please point me at the PR so I can follow it?

PhilipKing

@dansup I don’t understand this. I see on Threads ordinary people doing ordinary things. Perhaps you’d like to explain what it is you are worried about?

Thu Htoo San :fedora:

@dansup Thank you! You've made the right decision for the community. Opt-in is the way it should be from the start.

dansup

✨ Pixelfed User Domain Blocks are 97% complete!

We have almost everything implemented, except hashtag following and reblogs which I can finish later today

We are discussing implementing partial Signed Fetch validation to enforce domain blocks at the AP level for accounts with domain blocks (nobody does this yet 😉 )

Emelia 👸🏻

@dansup can we rename that PR to clarify it's User Domain Blocks? 😅
