Hi @alexshendi@rollenspiel.social you can access the forum from your browser @ https://postcall.pub

This is now implemented and will launch with v4.8.0 on Wednesday. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13885 @ricci@discuss.systems @silverpill@mitra.social

@phnt Thanks! I did know about this - however, they disallow fetching nodeinfo via robots.txt if the instance is configured to make up stats - and allow it if the instance is returning real stats:https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/src/commit/c74c5b74049bf9530a4c3fa5ba99c63fdd85d178/internal/api/robots/robots.go#L34My bot does obey robots.txt so it should avoid fetching nodeinfo if it's configured to lie.The specific code linked above landed about 10 months ago:https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pulls/3737This should be in versions 0.18 and later. It's *possible* the behavior is older than that, but I'd need to learn their codebase well enough to dig back in the history....

@mildlyunreasonable I included this in one of the new polls at https://infosec.exchange/@thenexusofprivacy/115843662200325736 and so far it's getting 100% agreement!

@Hubertus Thanks for reporting — will let the team know!

@team@blog.purewebhosting.nz @gwilymgj@mastodon.social > Standardising Public Information Publishing I think you should discuss this with the @swf@socialwebfoundation.org group. The issue of standardization is one of the most delicate in the relationship between the fediverse and the mastosphere, and will likely be resolved in different ways based on the so-called "doocracy." It will be important for it to adhere as closely as possible to W3C standards and be conceived in simple terms. Some platforms like Friendica have already solved the formatting of georeferencing and event data. (cc @heluecht@pirati.ca is right?) > Should an entity run it’s own presence much like they run their own website or email? It depends a lot on the type of organization. A nonprofit organization could simply choose to be hosted by a federated social network in its own country. A public institution could do the same, but first consider opening a proprietary instance, since, depending on the institution's importance, the traffic flow could become problematic. A private company, on the other hand, has the obligation to create its own instance. If I were to manage an organization's faith migration, I would make these assessments by evaluating the TOSs of the instances in my country and, if I found one suitable, I would agree on my inclusion in advance with the instance administrators. I also remember that careful management of a federated WordPress or Ghost server is already an interesting solution, just as a federated NodeBB forum allows you to wonderfully control the moderation of your audience of interested users. > Possible disadvantages Here we must be realistic: using commercial social media for your organization's communication is NEVER perceived as a problem! It will be difficult to obtain the exact costs of managing a social media account, and the employees (or vendors) who manage an organization's social media account are resistant to change. My advice is to find out in advance whether the organization already uses automated publishing systems, whether these systems include at least the Mastodon API, and whether these systems include engagement measurement systems; If they don't use automatic publishing, you can find a system that helps them manage everything more easily. I may be unpopular, but an organization shouldn't be forced to do without commercial social media! Any organization's social media strategy should have three ethical obligations: Maintain a presence on the most popular commercial social media platforms that are consistent with its audience, to ensure maximum reach. Maintain a presence on an open-source social network that allows users to follow the organization and interact with it without being tracked, profiled, or having their data transferred to problematic countries, because this is a guarantee for its customers/users. Prioritize communication on the open social network, publishing content on the federated account earlier and more carefully, and possibly attempting to move communication to the federated account.

@box464 SUPER‼️‼️‼️

@developerjustin yup, it’s been federating for a couple of weeks and it seems to be picking up a bit of steam!

@fancysandwiches @sam There is already a lot of overlap between different platforms. They are mostly differentiated by how default client looks.

@morph @evan but not available for new account

@jdt I think @hpk would be interested in seeing this

We're expanding beta testing for #Holos on Android before the public release.Quick reminder: Holos runs a full ActivityPub server on your phone, your data stays with you.Learn more: https://holos.social/how-it-worksDedicated account: @HolosSocial Interested? Let us know! iOS coming next.

@silverpill @julian Fair point.I suppose I was thinking of the ability to assign it to a shortened name in the @'context - but this is probably relatively unimportant once it's been gzipped.

@hongminhee noted! But maybe people need to see more fedi dev in non latin anyway to breac that anglophone hegemeny so maybe they should follow both!

@evan cc @_elena

@flancian @flancian I got the posts, and I can pull from outbox now, too. Thanks!

And thank you for your work too @smallcircles !

@gelbphoenix @julian @notiz.blog Good info. Many thanks.

@silverpill@mitra.social it seems like a fair starting point to establish some common formats. There's clearly a lot of work still to be done. There are some choices that seem questionable to me; the document seems to imply that KeyPackages as an attribute of the Actor objects can be retrieved without much control. I think that's problematic. They're only usable one time and they could easily be exhausted if distribution isn't controlled (they have to be replenished by the client and the client has to maintain all active packages in its key store). I gate access behind a verified signature and record who is given which package at the server to establish some limits.

@mariusor hey I haven’t published it yet, I’ll be doing so in the next couple of weeks
