In case you missed it, the fediverse is under attack by a Pro-Russian Propaganda Network. You can learn more about it in the blog post from @iftas below.
Here are two things everyone can do to help combat this:
1. If you see an account posting or spamming Telegram links, report it. Many of the accounts are impersonating news outlets — check verification status, the account's follower count, or the outlet's website to confirm if the account is real or fake.
2. Donate to your local mods if you can, or at least give them a big virtual hug and say thanks. They've been working tirelessly around the clock to combat this and deserve our gratitude and support.
Stay safe out there, friends.

Speaking of, I've been meaning to ask for a while: is there any way to contribute to our server's financial needs? I've been told no last time I asked but that was over two years ago so maybe there is now?cc @mcp as I'm unclear about who's currently mod or admin so Alice might not actually have the answer.

Not the point but I don’t agree with calling you "noisy" as that would imply that your toots aren’t welcome in our TLs 👀
"Visible", maybe? 🤔 (doubly so with the photos 😛) -

@haubles @iftas https://blog.isabel-drost.de/spam-spam-spam/ ... Are there plans to make sharing activities like these among moderators easier? Do moderators have an easy way to inspect the connections of accounts to spot spammy patterns (connections here meaning who re shares, follows, replies, replies only to influential accounts, re shares only what gets lots of replies/ engagement)?

There's the IFTAS Library, and a number of mdoerator/admin communities that collaborate e.g. https://about.iftas.org/library/technical-support-communities/
For making it easier to share findings, @thisismissem is working on FIRES https://github.com/fedimod/fires

@mainec @haubles they should, and some are already doing it! Check News & Media in this search: https://jaz.co.uk/projects/orgs-using-ap/
Additionally, @newsmast is helping news publishers reimagine local journalism married to ethical social networking: https://goodcommons.world/casestudies/bristol-cable-newsmast-foundation-uk-news-coop

@dtm No problem!

@dtm Not sure how up-to-date this is, but the documentation says:
"preview cards will not be refetched unless the link is reposted after 2 weeks from last time"

@julian Thanks, this all looks very helpful :)

@glocq@mathstodon.xyz I really found this helpful:
https://seb.jambor.dev/posts/understanding-activitypub/
And testing stuff against activitypub.academy 👍

Any resources on how to make an #ActivityPub application? There's the specification, which is certainly informative, but are there things like templates, tutorials...?

The beauty of #ActivityPub
Yes, Loops federates, and admins can enable any remote instance video posts to appear in local follower feeds AND you can even include them in the For You page ✨

@cyberlyra I'm sorry, I am not involved with Mastodon's team, or this request. But I do hope that after we speak out enough, this will get the prioritization it deserves, for the sake of fediverse's diversity.
