Very interesting feature comparison of Xitter, Mastodon, threads and a few others from Dewey Square’s most recent Twitter migration report.

Saw a demo of the #openid interop #test suite this week at internet #identity workshop #iiw. Very impressive! We need that kind of thing for the #fediverse. So @pfefferle, I was expecting from the #mastodon model that I could copy the post’s URL https://wordpress.com/blog/2023/10/11/activitypub/ into the mastodon search field, from where I could like it and comment on it. But no such luck? Congratulations @pfefferle for getting Automattic to offer #activitypub on all Wordpress.com blogs starting now ! This is huge! @J12t @pfefferle This is amazing to see, Wordpress still powers so much of the internet! ...But I've avoided Wordpress because I know how crazy they can be to administer. That said I do enjoy posting Mastodon, and I do enjoy blogging but bemoan how my static-site-generator-centric build process for my current blog means I can post on mobile...so maybe now is a good time to consider migrating my blog to (hosted) Wordpress? “Engage a Wider Audience With ActivityPub on WordPress.com Tell me how this does not end up in a really major war. https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/iran-update-october-9-2023 It’s seems to me the better strategy for #israel would be attempt to create a division between “peaceful Gaza residents” and “militants” and attempt to get some of the first ones to help rout out the second ones. If they treat everybody as enemy, everybody will fight back as enemy, for the next several generations as it happened for far. And nit getting shot in the Gaza barrel is surely an incentive. But there’s no indication that is what they are doing. Why not?  @J12t Because the policy of the Israeli state is to undermine the possibility Palestinian survival. Having friendly Palestinian neighbors would be pressure to make those Palestinians full citizens, which would make it harder to have an ethno-state. @J12t the peaceful Gazans are almost nonexistent as far as people on the ground can tell. No one is allowed to question Hamas' authority or narrative. They're better off moving to Israel or the West Bank or somewhere else. Hamas' rule and indoctrination industry (it's the only way to describe their recruitment process) in Gaza is absolute. Which is why many in Israel (including Obama this time around) are now advocating for its "dismantling". It's the only way to deradicalize that enclave. What's the best description you've read how #social media -- particularly the #fediverse -- will look like in 5 years? My other desk has always had a different computer. Now that its monitor and keyboard are connected to the same computer as on the primary desk, I'm information-spatially confused: instinctively, I want to move to the other desk to do something because it used to need the computer over there, and now I don't need to do that! Very disorienting. I've long held that information should be spatially allocated. Used to call that "situational computing" some ages ago, we still don't have much of it. Today, things actually look like fall in Northern California. After several days of 90F temperatures last week. Today is only in the sixties. Welcome, fall! What’s the most compelling use of HTML 5 custom tags that you’ve seen? (Other than A-Frame, that one is really good but quite special purpose.) Very much agreeing with @evan here on the strategy for #activitypub and related. https://evanp.me/2023/10/06/activitypub-the-socialcg-and-the-social-web/

 @J12t @evan “Everything needs to be W3C- and SocialCG-led” Nope. Sometimes governance fails on effectively govern. I’m grateful for all the successful #opensource projects that exist only because they forked. New monitor setup. Now I have two large monitors in mirrored mode connected to the same MacBook Pro. Two external keyboards. 3 external mice and an external trackpad (yes, I use both hands). One is at my regular standing desk. The thesis: this will make it more likely that I'm using the treadmill while working. The result? Should I be afraid to find out? An interview with the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard about #israel and the #palestinians from last year (I think). Pointed to by understandingwar.org. If that’s the basic situation, we are in for something much more major than what has happened so far. Google translated (Apple’s translation of this piece is catastrophically useless) Can somebody explain the cause of the visceral hatred of Israel by the Iranians? I can understand that they are opposed, enemies even, but what about this very emotional undercurrent underneath everything? An explanation for what is going on between #isreael and #hamas. It makes some sense, if you think it makes sense to start a war in order to prevent peace being made elsewhere. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/significance-hamas-chose-attack-israel-now-rcna119351 So I just realized something about the climate and the future: … which means anybody thinking moving north (in the northern hemisphere) towards a colder climate for themselves and their descendants may be in for a surprise, as it gets much warmer much faster Requiesca in pace, Vittorio! https://blog.talkingidentity.com/2023/10/and-just-like-that-hes-gone.html I'm surprised how much news and commentary with #israel #hamas hash tags I'm finding in the #fediverse today. Has breaking news made an appearance in the fediverse? That would be awesome!! |
@J12t Not bad for Mastodon.
@J12t "T2" is pebble.is? I had to search, as I hadn't heard of another network starting up.
@J12t curious about what happened with Bluesky for them to be listed as “standoffish” with journalists?
