Sharing some #fediverse or #activityPub projects you might not have heard about.

  1. Inventaire.io https://inventaire.io/welcome - Manage your physical books or other items (board games perhaps) and keep track of who has what when lending or borrowing items. ActivityPub enabled.
  2. Thedesk.top - A bit overwhelmingly full-featured alternative UI to Mastodon/Firefish/Misskey/*key forks. Some aspects may be very confusing but for some, the workflow and customization it provides are powerful.

Suppose someone blocks me. The feeling is mutual, so I want to block them too.

Am I able to block them after they've blocked me?

This is what I call mutual blocking.

Is mutual blocking in the fediverse possible at all?

Is mutual blocking possible on Mastodon?

I don't see these two questions as equal. It could be possible to mutually block at the level of ActivityPub, but also for Mastodon to not have an interface that allows us doing it.

I know on some platform this is not possible. Once you block someone, you vanish out of existence, and they cannot also block you.

However, I'm thinking that it is possible to mutually block one another in the fediverse and Mastodon.

I've searched the web and I haven't found a discussion of this.

As far as I know, there's no direct way to do this in vanilla Mastodon as the menu which includes the block option becomes inaccessible when they block you.

It might be possible on ActivityPub, but not on vanilla Mastodon.

Thanks.

I've not tried it, but I expect that if you can get the username, you could put it in a CSV file and import and merge that file into your block list.

That's a workaround, however.

So I activated #ActivityPub on infullflow.net, but the user profile I created cannot be found when I search for it on Mastodon. Not sure what the problem is. Now what?

I wonder if the ActivityPub spec has some allowance for the eliding of the "user" part of a handle. So instead of "@/me@myserver.social" it could just be "@/myserver.social" (without "/").

If not I think that would be a nice add. Maybe just some convention like "If user not present in handle, assume "@/_main@myserver.social".

That sound you hear is the fediverse expanding!

"ActivityPub 1.0.0 for WordPress has been released allowing WordPress blogs to be followed by others on apps like Mastodon and others in the fediverse and then receive replies back as comments on their own sites."

I think it's been mentioned before but I just want to make sure that everyone here knows that we are having THREE #SocialCG #Swicg #ActivityPub sessions at #TPAC next week.

TPAC is a hybrid working event for the W3C. Some of us will be in person in Seville. If you're not, you can call in and participate remotely.

Serious question, no offense or provocation intended: With this stuff being baked into Hubzilla and, apparently, also design-wise into Bluesky / AT, can anyone out here involved with the #ActivityPub specification process outline why nomadic / easily portable identity isn't built-in here by design? Looking at the (to-be-expected) dynamics of instances going up and down, blocking each other or moving to newer, different pieces of software, this seems an absolutely obvious requirement, so I wonder why this has been left out of the standard / spec?

Working on private messages in #Smithereen and I'm wondering how much sense CWs make for them. From Mastodon's PoV, "private messages" are just posts. They thus share all the same properties. In my implementation, however, messages are distinct from posts, both in the UI and in the database. In my UI I don't have anywhere to display that content warning as a spoiler without it being super awkward. I can use it as a subject line however 🤔

Any thoughts?

say, #fediverse, is peertube the only #activitypub based software that supports instance←→instance federation? i struggle with my peertube setup and would like to give another software a try. which softwares support instance-following as well? #followerpower

jonah,
@jonah@neat.computer avatar

@grindhold @hexmasteen it’s the only one I know of off hand, because PeerTube creates a fake “peertube” user which other AP instances can follow for the full feed. For example, you could even instance follow my PeerTube instance from Mastodon, by following @peertube. Most other AP implementations rely on relays instead of this psuedo-user approach, which both instance operators have to opt in to.

Seems like October will be an exciting month for the fediverse! #activityPub
