Destroying Autocracy – December 04, 2025Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.The Programmer’s Fulcrum is the future (and smaller) home for a fusion of Symfony Station and Battalion. Its tagline is Devs Defending Democracy, Developing the OMN.You can sign up now and for 2025 get an email with links to each week’s Symfony Station Communiqué and Battalion “Destroying Autocracy” post along with their featured articles. And you’ll be set with TPF after the fusing in January.We are posting on the Fediverse now at @thefulcrum @thefulcrum.dev and original website content will start next month.Featured Item(s)Hamish Campbell writes:ActivityPub is a shared vocabulary, a public language for moving meaning and connection across the open web. It gives you nouns and verbs, and the community defines the grammar through lived use.This is why the OMN works with ActivityPub, a metadata and meaning layer, not a platform, flows, not silos. ActivityPub is the widely deployed 4 Opens protocol that treats publishing as a flow, a conversation.Unlike the more vertical stacks (ATProto is a good example), ActivityPub doesn’t force a worldview. It doesn’t tell you, “this is how your network must be structured.” It doesn’t enforce hierarchy or lock you into one interpretation of identity, authority, or workflow. It’s a KISS path – here’s a shared language, verbs for publishing and receiving, express objects, updates, relationships. The rest is up to the commons.This flexibility is exactly why the OMN can become a part of this flow.Why the OMN works with ActivityPub – And why we need a bridge to p2pWe start and end with good news to make the middle bearable.The response to Russia’s War Crimes, Techno Feudalism, and other douchebaggeryDDEV has:Power Through Blackouts: How DDEV Community Helped Me in UkraineTechPolicy Press shares:How to Test New York’s Algorithmic Pricing LawThe EU’s Digital Omnibus Must Be Rejected by Lawmakers.

Right on the heels of WordPress 6.9 we released a new version of the ActivityPub plugin, making quote comments visible in the Reactions block and bringing you new ways of customizing your author pages.Quotes Join the Reactions PartyWhen someone quotes your post on Mastodon or other Fediverse platforms, you’ll now see it right alongside your likes and reposts. Quotes get their own row in the Fediverse Reactions display, making it easy to see at a glance who’s building on your ideas and adding their own commentary.Behind the scenes, we improved how we’re detecting quotes. Different platforms have their own ways of handling quote posts, and not all of them speak the same language. The plugin now understands these variations better, so whether someone quotes you from Mastodon, Misskey, or elsewhere, it just works.This means your engagement stats tell a fuller story. A quote isn’t just a repost—it’s someone adding their voice to yours, and now WordPress can recognize and display that distinction.Show Off Your Fediverse IdentityIf you’ve set up extra fields on your Fediverse profile—things like your website, pronouns, location, or links to other accounts—you can now display them directly on your WordPress site with the new Extra Fields block.Drop it onto any page, post, or your author archive template, pick a style that fits your theme, and your profile details appear right where your visitors can see them. Choose from a clean table layout, a stacked list, or styled cards. You can also control how many fields to show and customize colors to match your site.ChangelogAddedAdd documentation guide for using ActivityPub blocks in classic themes with Block Template PartsAdded a new Fediverse Extra Fields block to display ActivityPub extra fields, featuring compact, stacked, and card layouts with flexible user selection options.Added support for quote comments, improving detection and handling of quoted replies and links in post interactions.Add notifications for boosts, likes, and new followers in Mastodon apps via the Enable Mastodon Apps pluginAdds support for turning tags, categories, and custom taxonomies into federated collections in the Reader view so you can browse and follow topics more seamlessly.Prevent email notifications for comments on ActivityPub custom post types.Send a Reject activity when a quote comment is deleted, revoking previous quote permissions and ensuring consistent inbox handling.Store and retrieve webfinger acct for remote actors to improve identification and reduce lookupsChangedImprove gallery and image block markup for ap_posts with better alt text and optimized layouts.Improve support for media attachments by handling Audio, Document, and Video object types in addition to Images.Maintain consistent return values in Create handler.Remove trailing hashtags from incoming posts to prevent duplication with taxonomy tags.Store comments and reactions from followed actors on reader posts, and keep them separate from your site’s comments in wp-admin.Update compatibility testing for PHP 8.5 and WordPress 6.9Use tag name instead of slug for hashtag display.FixedAlways includes id, first, and last links in collection responses, ensuring followers and following lists display correctly in Mastodon.Automatically approves reactions on ActivityPub posts in the Reader view for a smoother, more seamless interaction experience.Deliver public activities to followers only.Disable REST API endpoints for internal post types.False mention email notifications for users in CC field without actual mention tags.Fix “Filename too long” errors when downloading attachments from URLs with query parameters (e.g., Instagram CDN URLs).Fix make_clickable corrupting existing anchor tags in ActivityPub contentFix PHP 8.5 deprecation warnings for ReflectionProperty::setAccessible() and ReflectionMethod::setAccessible()Improved handling of unusual activity data to avoid errors when activities contain unexpected formats.Preserve original ActivityPub activity timestamps when creating posts and comments instead of using current time.Prevented duplicate email notifications when ActivityPub instances re-send Follow activities for already-following actors.Prevents unwanted comment types—like pingbacks, trackbacks, notes and custom system comments, from being federated, ensuring only real user comments are shared with the fediverse.Removed a redundant instruction from the custom post content settings to simplify the UI.Reply block now shows fallback link when oEmbed fails instead of empty div.Simplified reply links by removing special handling for federated comments, making replies work the same for all comments where replying is allowed.Undefined array key warning in Scheduler::async_batch when called without arguments.DownloadsWordPress.org: activitypub.7.7.0.zipGitHub: tag/7.7.0Thank You!As always, a huge thanks to everyone who contributed code, reported bugs, tested early builds, and shared ideas. Every bit of feedback helps make ActivityPub for WordPress better for the whole community.Version 7.7.0 is available now—update and let us know what you think!

@almino SIM

I think I have identified a fairly significant flaw in how the #Fediverse currently operates. Hear me out.The Fediverse currently consists of all sorts of different systems - #Mastodon, #Friendica , #Pixelfed , #PeerTube, #BookWyrm , and so forth. And while they are all connected via the #ActivityPub protocol, they all have different functionalities and different ways of presenting themselves. Which is as it should be, because Diversity Is Our Strength(TM).However, it is here that the ActivityPub-based interactivity hits its limits - for usually, you can either experience the relevant system as it was intended, or you can interact with it, but not both - _unless_ you have an account on the same system (though not necessarily on the same instance).Let's say that you are a Mastodon user who looks at another person's BookWyrm page. You scroll through their books, posts, and comments. Then you see some comment you want to comment on yourself, but can you do so?Not directly. You need to figure out the URL of their comment, and then copy and paste that comment into the search bar of your Mastodon instance. Then it will show up in the same format as a Mastodon post, and you can interact with it - boost it, like it, comment on it.Sure, it works, but it's a whole lot of tedious effort.Or you can search for the user account in Mastodon and scroll through all their posts and comments as if they were a Mastodon user - and thus, you will miss out on all the unique user interface features of BookWyrm.So what is missing?Well, Mastodon already has an "Open original page" feature when looking at someone's post. What we need is an "Open original page AND AUTHENTICATE" feature. This way, the target instance (whatever software they are using) could acknowledge the viewer as an external user who could nevertheless fully interact with the local user interface, including the ability to boost, like, and make comments.This is something that should be theoretically possible to implement, right? #FediHelp

BotKitは、ActivityPubボットを作るためのTypeScriptフレームワークです。既存のMastodon/Misskeyボットとの違いは、ボット自体が独立したサーバーとして動作すること。プラットフォームのアカウントは不要です。 文字数制限もなければ、APIレート制限に悩まされることもありません。 bot.onMention = async (session, message) => { await message.reply(text`こんにちは、${message.actor}さん！`); }; フェデレーション、HTTP Signatures、配送キューといったActivityPub周りの処理はFedifyがすべて引き受けます。ボットのロジックを書くだけです。 DenoでもNode.jsでも動きます。 https://botkit.fedify.dev/ #BotKit #Fedify #ActivityPub #TypeScript #Deno #NodeJS

Short video isn't the villain, it’s just how we share our lives today. More people are capturing and sharing raw, human moments than ever before, and that’s beautiful ✨The problem isn't the format; it's the surveillance and toxicity built into the big platforms.We’re trying to keep the joy (sharing + remixing + community) and ditch the stuff that harms people (manipulative feeds, creepy tracking, lock-in). https://joinloops.org/why-loops-matters#Loops #TikTok #ActivityPub
