Been pondering the change in the #activitypub #wordpress plugin to depreciate Template Tags and (presumably eventually) only federate WP posts as Article objects.
My posts currently federate as Notes, with the full text displayed by Mastodon. Updates are also correctly federated.
When federating as an Article, only the summary is shown in Mastodon. (Fair enough!) But subsequent edits are not reflected - despite their presence in the Update action.
Is this as expected? #mastodon

Hi heathenstorm@mastodon.social, that's an interesting side-effect, but not one that I was aware of. It might be that it is a bug that lies on the WordPress side or the Mastodon side. This might be something pfefferle@mastodon.social would be best to answer.
I will say this, though... that Mastodon has had a history of not supporting long-form text well. You can even get a feel of that now; inline images are missing even though the full text is available. This is by design because Mastodon is a micro-blog, and they have made some intentional UI decisions whose tradeoff is that full HTML display with inline images and such would ruin the effect.
We could debate endlessly about whether this is a net positive or not, but that's beside the point.
What I want to say is that we're in a sort of inflection point with regard to long-form text where Mastodon is taking small but meaningful steps toward better supporting long-form text. Part of that is allowing for Articles and summaries, and encouraging users to view the article on the WordPress site itself.
Remember that not even a year ago, Mastodon didn't even render summaries (or showed them as content warnings, or didn't accept HTML...)

@julian @heathenstorm can you tell me a bit more about the update issues you have?
edits of posts should be federated as updates, otherwise it is a bug or interference with other plugins!?

@pfefferle @julian There doesn’t seem to be any problem with the ActivityPub Wordpress plugin. Update activities on Article objects are correctly federated; and Friendica picks up the changes without issue.
(As an aside, I had to install the nodeinfo WP plugin so follow requests worked from Friendica, but that could just be my homelab configuration.)
It’s just Mastodon that doesn’t do anything with Article Updates. So for now I keep using Template Tags and a Note object.

@heathenstorm @julian maybe mastodon is checking the diff of the summary and if the changes does not effect the summary, it will not be updated!?

@pfefferle @julian In my tests the edits were made in the first paragraph, so both summary and preview fields updated as well. (The latter being Note type.)

@heathenstorm have you experienced similar issues with Articles @julian @johnonolan @matt ???

@pfefferle @heathenstorm @julian @matt we’ve seen some other/different strangeness - like update activities trigger posts returning to the top of the feed in mastodon as if they’re new. So when someone edits a bunch of posts from 5 years ago, it sometimes floods the feeds of followers

@johnonolan @pfefferle @heathenstorm @julian @matt yes I also experienced an old post re-appearing as brand new in the Fediverse after I updated the original article. If you'd like I can re-test it now (I've got 3 federated Wordpress blogs) 🤗

johnonolan@mastodon.xyz pfefferle@mastodon.social elena@aseachange.com only for Articles?!
I haven't seen this myself but I don't edit my topics much after they're out there.

@julian @pfefferle @elena not sure! It could make more sense for notes - I think - I’m guessing not many people edit really old notes in the way they do for articles, so it’s more likely to be a recent edit/update(?) I’m just guessing though

elena@aseachange.com could it be that you're editing an article that had never been federated before (aka predates the AP plugin)?
In that case the published update might be the first time a Mastodon instance sees it, and it might promote it to the top of the feed even if it's many years old?

@julian @elena @pfefferle @heathenstorm ohhh that’s a great hypothesis. I hadn’t thought of that. Yes, high probability.
Though, still an interesting wrinkle where I would expect the feed to be sorted by published_at rather than created_at - if you know what I mean
-
heathenstorm@mastodon.social Am confirming that when NodeBB sends an Update, it is processed by other NodeBBs, but Mastodon does not update the status.

@johnonolan @julian @pfefferle @heathenstorm ooooh interesting theory! I can do some A/B testing tomorrow

@julian @elena @johnonolan @heathenstorm but I experienced that Mastodon ignores `Update`s for posts that where not `Create`ed before...

@pfefferle @julian @johnonolan @heathenstorm so I just tested this... I updated an old blog post (from 2023) before the site was ever federated... and it just popped up in my Mastodon feed (see photo) as if I had just published it...
The blog has all the latest versions of plugins installed (ActivityPub for Wordpress included).

La Pimpa è nata per caso, un pomeriggio, a Milano, nel 1975. Facevo dei disegnini per mia figlia che aveva due anni. E mi chiedeva di disegnare per lei una nave, un orso, un sole. E tra queste cose che disegnavo è venuta fuori anche la Pimpa ... https://cctm.website/altan-la-pimpa/

@maxleibman @stefano runs a network of fediverse weather forecast accounts.
These are not bots in the sense of automated accounts interacting with a platform's API as you would do on Twitter, or even Mastodon, rather, each account is an individual "fediverse object", to simplify a bit.
You couldn't achieve this on Twitter/X, as that's a centralized platform and requires the use of their API, nor Bluesky, as hosting the full infrastructure is too complex and expensive.

co-governo uomo-macchina.
E voi, cosa ne pensate? La presenza dell’IA nei processi decisionali pubblici può essere una risorsa o un rischio per la trasparenza e la responsabilità? 3/3

aziendale e pubblica. SKAI parteciperà alle riunioni del board con accesso a dati storici e regolamenti, operando su infrastrutture di supercalcolo nazionali, mentre l’Albania sperimenta un approccio simbolico ma innovativo con Diella. Questi casi sollevano domande cruciali: chi è responsabile delle decisioni prese da un algoritmo? Come cambia il concetto stesso di leadership e governance nell’era digitale? Non è più fantascienza: stiamo assistendo a un vero e proprio esperimento globale di 2/n

Quando l’IA entra nei governi
Due esperimenti recenti mostrano come la tecnologia stia iniziando a trasformare anche i luoghi del potere: in Albania, l’entità digitale Diella è stata nominata ministra per l’Intelligenza Artificiale, con funzioni di analisi e rappresentanza nel governo. In Kazakistan, il fondo sovrano Samruk-Kazyna ha presentato SKAI, una rete neurale con diritto di voto nel consiglio di amministrazione, segnando un passo senza precedenti nella governance 1/n
