Showing off the first deployment of the FIRES reference server to a few people :DI've just landed dataset exports, for getting a zip file snapshot of a dataset with files for domain denylists/allowlists, and a retractions file. The denylist / allowlist should be compatible with the Mastodon Domain CSV files, but unfortunately @Mastodon doesn't support importing a retractions file.

@silverpill @helge@mymath.rocks @helge@mastodon.social @julian can y'all copy me out — I just CC'd Julian as lead on forums taskforce, I don't personally care that much

Token revocation and userinfo endpoint are also implemented. iss indication on redirects is also recommended, but not planned yet

@julian Nice workaround. They should describe it in the FEP

It seems Peertube is sending me Update activities every few hours on the hour (or rather, on the 7s or 37s), with no changes. Any idea what this is about? Perhaps view counters updating? Seems a tad noisy. [image: 1000008215.png]

@bonfire have just released Bonfire v1.0 (big congratulations! 🥳) and are crowdfunding further development. Go help them out if you can!I think the tools Bonfire offers are brilliant for both personal and institutional users alike, and will only strengthen the Fediverse. https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/ #fedidev #fediverse #Bonfire

@caohuak There were no recent changes in how we generate Accept activities. It's more likely that something was changed in Sharkey since its 2025.4.2 release.

The minutes from this month's ForumWG minutes were just posted. Ironically, I need to make a separate post to reference it in this group, because we have not invented federated cross-posting yet. But soon!

@LibertyForward1 @theropologist I just disabled HTTP2 on my side. Fixed it?

Thank you so much!

@carloshr as always, my best ideas are the ones that seem so obvious to me that i figure someone else surely has already had them

i'm moving my stuff off GitHub because i'm sick of Microsoft's shit. today's task is slurp.the official project home page has been https://catgirl.codes/slurp for a bit, but now that's also the package URL as far as Go is concerned. this will be a breaking change for anyone who depended on slurp internals, which i hope is nobody. there's some sort of package renaming directive you can use in go.mod if you did.the public Git repo and issue tracker are now on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/vyr/slurpif you can, please donate to Codeberg. i just did (again). they're a great option for open source devs like me who aren't SREs and don't want the overhead of self-hosting all that stuff, and running a service like that isn't free.#slurp #FediDev

Just over a year after Go's OpenAPI generator let me down, the #ActivityPub Content-Type causes the same problem again, this time in Python:example_client/api/default/put_object.py:34:62: SyntaxError: Simple statements must be separated by newlines or semicolons   |33 |     _kwargs["json"] = _body34 |     headers["Content-Type"] = "application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams""   |                                                              ^Is it really that unusual to include parameters in MIME types like this? I'm sure I've seen them all over the place.Or am I venturing off the beaten track by trying to be explicit about them in my openapi.yml file?#ActivityPubDev #BangHeadHere

Hey @bjoern @Karlitschek @nextcloud #activitypub #fedidev we will schedule a meeting soon, would be cool if anyone could attend https://digitalcourage.social/@reiver@mastodon.social/115317680720978044 [which day?] https://digitalcourage.social/@reiver@mastodon.social/115317829430813805

Ok, wasn’t expecting THAT. mbsync synced my toot folder with Fastmail. Email is like a thing from the future.

Just spend the tiny bit of extra time and implement basic support for federation policies. Keep track of data snd where it comes from, such that you can react to changes over time

silverpill@mitra.social I have been reflecting on the use of Remove/Move vs Update and I am thinking that Update isn't explicit enough. If I am removing a topic from a category, I'd be sending an Update with the group actor removed from the audience property. However recipients wouldn't know which audience was removed, merely the new state of that context's audience.

@hongminhee @2chanhaeng I see you already got some comments of this nature but was gonna point them out as well. Ibis is the farthest along but Xwiki was the first to add AP to a wiki that I know of. Also Piefed has an added wiki feature for every community but I don't think they federate that part yet.

This does exist, Pleroma has the Message Rewrite Filters or MRF functionality. There's also ActivitySieve or ActivityColander I think it was called, which attempted to do similar. I've personally been arguing that we need federation management via policies more akin to a firewall: https://writings.thisismissem.social/moving-beyond-the-false-dichotomy-for-federation-management/

@silverpill Thank you - I wasn't aware of Mitra supporting conversation containers and nomadic identity, happy to learn.I have some questions about Mitra, I will ask them in a separate thread. @osma
