fediverse

<p>It&#x27;s been a tough day of debugging for me, then I remembered this.. I needed to hear it, so maybe you do too, because it&#x27;s true for every single one of us here on the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>. </p><p>--<br>What you&#x27;re doing here is important. Even simply being here is an act of defiance. No matter how big or small, your work and your presence here contributes to a better future. Yes, even if it&#x27;s only cat pictures.</p><p>So: stay strong, tell a friend, and don&#x27;t stop. Small steps, always forward.<br>--</p>

<p>By the way, how do instance admins handle take down notices?</p><p>Say you receive a legal request to take some content down because it&#x27;s illegal in country X, how does that work?</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/moderation/" rel="tag">#moderation</a> <a href="/tags/takedowns/" rel="tag">#takedowns</a></p>

<p>Looks like mastodon.art is limiting federation with mastodon.social due to the high volume of spam accounts over there.</p><p>If you&#x27;re looking for an instance similar to mastodon.social and still want to interact with folks on mastodon.art, consider joining mastodon.online.

<p>Did you know there is a book called &quot;Mastodon For Dummies&quot;?<br>It&#x27;s part of the widely read and well known &#x27;For Dummies&#x27; series.<br>This is the cover of the one I brought home from my local library.<br>Does your library have a copy? If not, maybe you can suggest a new acquisition! It&#x27;s only 14.99 US, 17.99 CAN, and 11.99 UK.</p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/mastodonhelp/" rel="tag">#MastodonHelp</a> <a href="/tags/library/" rel="tag">#library</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/web/" rel="tag">#web</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#socialmedia</a></p>

<p>Something to SNS providers and software can learn from the gaming industry is name filters.</p><p>Majority, if not all, online <a href="/tags/games/" rel="tag">#games</a> implement a RegExp-based or manual input name blocklist. In the socmed landscape, software like Mastodon should implement it to prevent any handles **and** display names with &quot;Mastodon&quot; in it.</p><p>Instance admins and moderators should be able to add new entries as they see fit. They can choose between RegExp matching or manual input.</p><p>It is an effective way to minimize fake accounts pretending to be the platform, instance, service, and/or software. For example, the Mastodon **software** is currently being bombarded by fake accounts about &quot;Mastodon account verification&quot;, with &quot;Mastodon&quot; in either their handle or display name, or both.</p><p>Other social media software and platforms should implement it as well. Of course, it is not the ultimate solution, but it at least adds another layer to enable admins and moderators to fight against scammers and phishers pretending to be official accounts or channels.</p><p>Tags: <a href="/tags/sns/" rel="tag">#SNS</a> <a href="/tags/socmed/" rel="tag">#SocMed</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/socialweb/" rel="tag">#SocialWeb</a> <a href="/tags/opensocial/" rel="tag">#OpenSocial</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/bluesky/" rel="tag">#Bluesky</a> <a href="/tags/atmosphere/" rel="tag">#ATmosphere</a> <a href="/tags/moderation/" rel="tag">#Moderation</a></p>

<p>Fedify 2.0.0 is here!</p><p>This is the biggest release in Fedify&#x27;s history. Here are the highlights:</p><p>Modular architecture — The monolithic @fedify/fedify package has been broken up into focused, independent packages: @fedify/vocab, @fedify/vocab-runtime, @fedify/vocab-tools, @fedify/webfinger, and more. Smaller bundles, cleaner imports, and the ability to extend ActivityPub with custom vocabulary types.<br>Real-time debug dashboard — The new @fedify/debugger package gives you a live dashboard at /__debug__/ showing all your federation traffic: traces, activity details, signature verification, and correlated logs. Just wrap your Federation object and you&#x27;re done.<br>ActivityPub relay support — First-class relay support via @fedify/relay and the fedify relay CLI command. Supports both Mastodon-style and LitePub-style relay protocols (FEP-ae0c).<br>Ordered message delivery — The new orderingKey option solves the “zombie post” problem where a Delete arrives before its Create. Activities sharing the same key are guaranteed to be delivered in FIFO order.<br>Permanent failure handling — setOutboxPermanentFailureHandler() lets you react when a remote inbox returns 404 or 410, so you can clean up unreachable followers instead of retrying forever.</p><p>Other changes include content negotiation at the middleware level, @fedify/lint for shared linting rules, @fedify/create for quick project scaffolding, CLI config files, native Node.js/Bun CLI support, and many bug fixes.</p><p>This release includes significant contributions from Korea&#x27;s OSSCA participants. Huge thanks to everyone involved!</p><p>This is a major release with breaking changes—please check the migration guide before upgrading.</p><p>Full release notes: <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/discussions/580" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/discussions/580"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/d</span><span class="invisible">iscussions/580</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/fedify/" rel="tag">#Fedify</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/fedidev/" rel="tag">#fedidev</a> <a href="/tags/typescript/" rel="tag">#TypeScript</a></p>

<p>If you&#x27;re recommending Mastodon and the wider Fediverse to organisations, friends, family or colleagues, don&#x27;t worry if they say no. You have done something really important simply by making them aware of it as an option.</p><p>Most people and organisations don&#x27;t immediately try stuff they hear about. Usually they need to hear it mentioned by a few different sources before they actually try it.</p><p>By being one of those sources, you&#x27;re nudging them closer to actually trying it 👍 </p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a></p>
