We seriously need to talk about deletion not being real in the fedi.
Some instances never erase your toots when you delete them.

@maikel The two uncomfortable truths of the internet, since the '90s:
- You can never reliably publish something.
- You can never reliably delete something once it's published.

maikel@vmst.io what is there to talk about? ActivityPub is a decentralized and distributed protocol. Deletion is best effort and while the ideal use case would be instant deletion of your own content, everywhere, on demand, it's just not feasible.
I sympathize, I really do, I just don't have any answers.

@evan what's the latest with E2EE and data portability in #ActivityPub?

Actually I was wrong, there is a context so thats fine. The problem is that audience should be a simple string but you are sending an error, thats why it fails. Anyway that field is optional, so you can leave it out and put the community in to or cc instead.
julian No but still the field is mandatory (mainly because that hasnt caused any problems so far).

Moin,
aus aktuellem Anlaß, auf den ich später noch mit mehr Details zurückkommen will, darf ich (noch) einmal auf mein Projekt eines eigenen #Fediverse-Servers namens #Mammuthus hinweisen, in den ich demnächst mehr Zeit investieren will.
Dazu sei auch auf vier auf #Mammuthus laufende Accounts meinerseits hingewiesen, die ich in Zukunft hoffentlich auch aktiver mit sinnvollen Beiträgen bestücke... :-)
@nick@hhmx.de ⚫ Mein allgemeiner Account auf meiner als Single-Account-Instanz genutzten Umgebung, die in der Regel als erstes eine neue #Mammuthus-Version einsetzt, sobald sie aus meinem Labor kommt... ;-)
@nick@mammuthus.de ⚫ Auf diesem Account schreibe ich technische Punkte (auf Deutsch und Englisch) bezüglich #ActivityPub & Co.
@nick@rahlstedt.de ⚫ Mit rahlstedt.de, rahlstedt.biz und rahlstedt.social will ich meinen Stadtteil ins #Fediverse bringen... Details zur Entwicklung, ggf. auch Umfragen zwecks Meinungseinholung in Bezug auf meine lokalen bzw. regionalen #Hamburg-#Rahlstedt-Aktionen hier...
@nick@rahlstedt.social ⚫ Auch lokal... ein bißchen persönlicher...
Mehr demnächst...
Wem Unstimmigkeiten oder Probleme mit o.g. Accounts (und/oder den sie betreibenden Instanzen) auffallen, bitte gern an mich durchmelden. Mit Details & Co.
Notfalls an meinen #Mastodon-Account @nick@norden.social (der bleibt als Backup und langjähriger fediversaler Account natürlich bestehen).
Soweit erst einmal,
einen schönen Abend in die fediversale Runde!The Future Is Federated

nutomic oh that's interesting, does Lemmy do JSON-LD validation? I didn't think it would.

Hi, I had a look at the activities sent from your account. Looks like the only problem is that you are missing a @context field. After adding that it parses just fine. What you serve from / is irrelevant, that one is completely optional.

I'm super grateful to @iftas for all their hard work with Fediverse moderation.
IFTAS listed abandoned and unmanaged domains here:
🔗: https://mastodon.iftas.org/@iftas/115491644066466815
I've just added them to my block list and I encourage other admins to do the same...
