We're holding a breakout session with @fediversereport at #Fediforum today at 11:15am PDT in Breakout Room C! We'll be talking about the nature of producing news for the #fediverse, and the challenges that have come with our efforts.
Whew! Already at 2400 words written about Fediverse Moderation Tooling, and the potential future directions we can take. This is quite the undertaking!
Yes, most of my time over the past few weeks has been spent writing literature and proposals on moderation tooling, which honestly is an under-appreciated task essentially to improving the fediverse.
I'll also be doing up some slides with a summary of my thoughts for @fediforum.
(If someone wants to create a powerful document editing & collaboration tool for documents in rich text, by all means do, but until that works well, I'll continue using Google Docs, kthnxbye)
Huh, another way folks might be able to support my work on the Fediverse is through a nomination as a “GitHub Star”, which looks to be a potential program for getting additional backing: https://stars.github.com/nominate/
It's less than 24 hours to the start of #FediForum
In about an hour, we'll host a little pre-event "Meet and Greet" where attendees can casually stroll in, check out the venue (QiQo) and make sure their audio and video is working, so we can have a smooth start tomorrow.
Registration is still open, join us to discuss the most important and urgent, any many other topics in the #Fediverse? https://fediforum.org
Depressing that "more than half of americans plan to get latest covid booster" is good news, but it's better than last round. Hopefully utterly idiotic partisan divide is starting to wane.
Just get your shots. Yeah even republicans. I fucking hate you but your corpses are fucking up our medical systems, stop it.
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.
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?
