Hey cloudron@social.cloudron.io, you guys are awesome. NodeBB has a Docker image that is community supported but Cloudron literally has one-click NodeBB hosting!
So... ah... can you turn on ActivityPub so your forum can join fedi? :smiling_imp:

@douuuu I thought Ghost now supported AP? Does that not include comments/replies?
I have limited experience with Ghost but what I implemented was a Javacript someone created, so if you self-host Ghost, maybe you can add it?
Thanks for the link to your blog!

@rwg thanks for this post,
A) Is there an easy way for Ghost blogs to implement what you did for your blog’s comment section?
B) Mine is a bit more basic compared to yours, but you might still find it interesting. I wrote about FOSS software for scholars:

Latest FOSS Academic post is -- you guessed it -- a 2025 year in review post. Thrill to the fact that I'm using much of the same FOSS to do my work as I always have! Feel the chills as I talk about #generativeAI and how terrible it is! Above all, join me in living the FOSS Academic Lifestyle Dream!

I'm against banning social media for under 16's. Just outright banning doesn't make something unavailable - just unregulated and not monitored. Alcohol and vapes are still common among under 16's - especial those that are vulnerable.
I am for under 16's not being allowed on corporate socials though - as they are toxic places which do provably screw with brain development in youth - because of that algorithmic nature.
I am considering pitching an idea to a local established non-profit that I sometimes work with, who run a number of local youth clubs across the region.
It is an idea of setting up a fediverse instance for 11-15 year olds. An account can only be made in person alongside being a member of a youth club -with parent / guardian consent.
It will not be federated to the general social web, and begin as a self-contained bubble - but with the idea of other regions creating the same thing and federating together.
It would be moderated by the same volunteers / employees that run the youth clubs and social services - who are fully vetted, and follow the protocols - which already also includes moderating each other.
Perhaps even somehow make it so the kids can't post on it during school hours, and after, perhaps, 10pm?
There would of course be a set of standards expectations, or community codes of conduct, like here in the Fedi. Perhaps also running regular fun things too, that get kids thinking creatively (like what happens at the clubs anyway).
There are of course many many issues with this idea, and I can't see it actually happening just like that.
Not only is there unlikely the right fedi project to accommodate needs, but things like the online safety act potentially blocking the ability to create safe community based social networks for youth. And I'm sure there are many other issues as to why this idea might not work either. Like, what happens when someone turns 16? Are they just kicked off?
However, I do know that corporate socials are bad - but not providing good safe alternatives when attempting to protect children, actually makes them more vulnerable and unsafe. We need a way to embrace them, not outcast them.

Yay! My #Mastodon trifecta is now complete! My blue & orange (is it orange‽) #Plushtodon came in last night, & I opened it yesterday, but I was too tired to post about it as I just got off work.
But yes, I am excited that the two smaller Plushes arrived! Thanks @Mastodon for creating these!
Also…we need more #ActivityPub apps to create real world wearables or plushies, as they are great conversation starters for folks who are not familiar with the #Fediverse.

Does anyone know what software/library FUTO keyboard on Android uses for their speech to text capability?
It's embarrassingly good. Like, it puts Google to shame, and it's all done on device. It supports punctuation, and has much higher fidelity.
It would be fantastic to roll it into NodeBB as an in-browser speech to text parser.

I remember it being massive news when Pebble made moves to resurrect. Now they're trying to forcibly take away the grassroots dev community that kept Pebbles alive after they were abandoned by the original company.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
