super cool to see that @Cochise set up a #Brazilian #Smithereen instance at https://plural.masdivago.cc/Cochise

random fediverse meta from somewhere in my timeline: Pleroma has a @wikipedia page again @debian hosts a bunch of fediverse services like #PeerTube and #Pixelfed Sometimes a silly question simmers in your mind for years till a few internet friends come along and turn it into something more concrete: the @FediverseSymbol is an initiative to promote the asterism symbol ⁂ as a way to reference the fediverse more generally. Check out https://symbol.fediverse.info and feel free to get involved however you see fit!

 @liaizon I really don't know why there must be an other symbol. We have one in the #Fediverse quite a long time. No, I don't see why to replace it.
@FediverseSymbol    This is a milestone worth celebrating! :fediverse: The first screenshot is @algernon (a Forgejo account able to be tagged in this post!) commenting on the issue: https://shoes.forgejo.madhouse-project.org/algernon/federation-test/issues/4 as seen in @phanpy while logged into my Mastodon account!

 Re: This is a milestone worth celebrating! :fediverse: In development as we speak, a @forgejo can now federate comments from issues in repos!!! @liaizon@social.wake.st that's fantastic news! Good job @algernon@trunk.mad-scientist.club ! I am not usually much into games at all but I really enjoyed Tile Garden (https://kylep.itch.io/tile-garden) by https://kyleperik.com which was a submission for the https://wattwise.games game jam. It is made with #Uxn which makes it extra sparkly... played another round but this time through the Varvara Emulator here https://rabbits.srht.site/uxn5/ using the .rom file! I want a fedi server that lets you choose a border from @maxbittker's Broider (https://maxbittker.github.io/broider) for every post... Discovered this morning that Maven https://heymaven.com (a social media startup who's CEO is ex OpenAI "Ken Stanley: leading the Open-Endedness Team at OpenAI") is mass importing public posts from the #fediverse with no links back to the original and no way to delete them. It seems there is no Opt-out or Opt-in mechanism at all. It also has posts from #Bluesky pulled in via @bsky.brid.gy that are also not linked back to the original. Here's an example: https://app.heymaven.com/profile/66927

 A guy who used to work for a company that commits blatant content theft is once again committing blatant content theft. And, bafflingly, getting away scot-free. I guess because Fedi users don't have million-dollar legal departments. Thank you for sharing. I found my shadow profile on maven, too, spanning 5/17/24 - 6/8/24, but not every one. They've stripped hashtags from the bottom of my posts. Image AltText seems to be missing or inaccessible there. And, they add their own imprecise tags. I wonder if hashtags in the body of a post would stop them, get stripped – bastardizing the content, or simply be ignored? What about Emojis? I'll throw a hashtag into today's post and see if it turns up there in a few days.  Looks like I'm in there, and somehow they scooped up a "Mentioned people only" post????? Looking into this Summer of Protocols thing that @evan and @tomcoates got accepted for to work on adding encryption to #ActivityPub, and realized its a grant from the Ethereum Foundation. I am not opposed to crypto slush money flowing into more useful projects like the #fediverse but thought it was interesting that I hadn't seen anyone mention this fact yet. @liaizon You’re 100% right that’s where the money comes from. What I find interesting about it is that if you look at the previous work from it almost none of it is even crypto adjacent. A lot of it is related to the subject of “protocol studies” that they’re trying to kick into being. There is work on Christopher Alexander’s pattern language in architecture, essays on metaphors for memory. I have continued to add #fediverse icons to https://fediverse.wake.st and now have 107 fediverse projects represented. I would love for this to become more of a community resource!

  @Liaizon Wakest Looks like the only discontinued Zot/Nomad project that's missing is short-lived Roadhouse.
Working on a page for my #fediverse SVG icons. Anyone want to help make this page better? My CSS and HTML abilities are lacking... The page is live at https://fediverse.wake.st I have a @Codeberg repo here up here https://codeberg.org/FediverseX/pages

Wow so https://fediverse.wake.st has come along way today from how it started. Thanks to @daj for contributing a totally different design and implementing it. This is actually the first time I have ever gotten a pull request before. I have submitted a few for little things but never received one!   Smithereen, the #fediverse's alternative to VK, has a new reports UI thats looking really slick! Awesome job @grishka! The San Fransisco Aviation Museum (known as the SFO Museum / https://sfomuseum.org) has launched a massive initiative to federate their whole archive into the #fediverse! They have gone so far as to write their own #ActivityPub software in #Go suited to their needs and open sourced it (https://github.com/sfomuseum/go-activitypub). And have already launched thousands of automated accounts that cover different parts of their collection.  Hoping maybe it will catch on with their Aussie cousins, the HARS air museum in Wollongong.
from 'Of Tonezharl' by Ры Никонова, 1992 published by #Xexoxial (@memexikon) via @monoskop wiki at https://monoskop.org/Ry_Nikonova  @liaizon reminds me of this StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags/1732454#1732454  I wonder how many XE books monoskop put up. It's always been available as a download from XE: https://xexoxial.org/is/of_tonezharl/by/rea_nikonova a fedi instance (https://autonomous.zone) I help run could really use a bit more in donations if you feel like supporting a small anarcho instance with its continued existence! we have a @Liberapay account at https://en.liberapay.com/autonomous.zone which is the best place to donate :ancomheart: Way more interesting and healthy fediverse news is happening in the shadows and is barely getting discussed! Discourse has federation between different instances of itself and other #fediverse software such as Mastodon working! Attached is a demo video from Angus McLeod via their announcement here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/activitypub-plugin/266794/117

Fergie Chambers (heir to Cox, one of the largest ISP and tv companies in the southern US) just donated 1/4 of a million to the @defendATLforest Solidarity Fund via https://twitter.com/jccfergie/status/1699860961505452293 |
@liaizon @Cochise
ooh, an old-school-Facebook clone! interesting
(side grumbling: some FOSS projects really don't spend a lot of time thinking about picking names that are easy to pronounce/understand for international audiences, right? Smithereen, SecureScuttleButt...)
