    I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs.

    @mathieui@piaille.fr Thanks for engaging with this. I appreciate the pushback, and I think some of your concerns are worth taking seriously. That said, I want to clarify something about my position: TGPL (or any specific licensing mechanism) is just one possible avenue among many. The broader argument isn't tied to any single instrument. Regulatory pressure on governments to mandate that models trained on public data be returned to the public, expanded public funding for open research infrastructure, international treaty reform—these are all on the table. The point is strategic pluralism, not a bet on one tool. On the copyright concern: yes, major players have shown contempt for copyright. But that's precisely why I think purely technical or market-based solutions are insufficient, and why political and legislative pressure matters. The history of generic medicine access is instructive here—no single mechanism won that fight, but the combination of compulsory licensing advocacy, treaty pressure, and public funding reform produced real change over time. Now, your Luddite parallel: I actually think it argues for my position rather than against it. You're right that the weavers never reclaimed the technology. But the lesson I draw from that isn't “therefore reclamation is impossible.” It's that refusing or destroying the means of production doesn't work. What eventually produced change was organized labor movements that took the existence of that technology as a given and fought over who controls it and under what conditions. That's exactly the kind of struggle I'm advocating for here. The real question you're raising, I think, is about the subject: is there an organized political force capable of carrying this through? That's a fair and hard question. But it's an argument for building that force, not for abandoning the goal.

    It makes me sick that Trump's truth.social social media platform is based on a fork of Mastodon.

    @klu9 @eyeinthesky Having multiple servers connect to each other is Federation.Having multiple independent servers (regardless of whether they connect to each other or not) is Decentralization....TS is an independent server — thus, it with others form Decentralized social-media.TS does not connect to other servers — thus, not Federated.

    I could use some #FediHelp with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.

    I could use some #FediHelp with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.I use a #WordPress blog with the #ActivityPub plugin. This means that I get #Fediverse -based requests that look like this in the #Apache logs:"POST /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/actors/1/inbox HTTP/1.1"So far, so unspectacular. In the latest logs - spanning from 20/Nov/2025:01:49:32 to 21/Nov/2025:05:49:47 - I've had 2046 such requests. Most of these are one-time affairs.However, 1099 of these requests are from mastodon.sdf.org , which is very suspicious. They are very evenly spread, too - a new request comes every minute or two.This instance is on #Mastodon 4.1.25. Does this version have a known bug where it sends the same request over and over again?@SDF

    @Edent At least one atproto client can show Unicode handles https://atproto.at://did:plc:2h3l5x5ocsko5cabbqwksg2r/app.bsky.feed.post/3mggmlk25f5gf i.e. using IDN. Interaction etc. probably would probably need deeper support in server implementations. On the ActivtyPub side, non-ascii usernames needs to be generally supported before @bsky.brid.gy can convert the handle @xn--atmosfrisk-i6a.xn--rdsei-vua.no correctly
