@art more than #bluesky !

Wäre es nicht super, wenn man sich mit sei­nem Mast­o­don-Account ein­fach für eine Ver­an­stal­tung anmel­den könn­te – so wie das frü­her bei Face­book mög­lich war? Der­zeit geht das noch nicht. Aber es gibt ein paar hoff­nungs­vol­le Anzei­chen, dass sich das ändern könnte.Ich habe es im letz­ten Arti­kel ange­teasert: In der Sprech­stun­de hat André Men­rath (@linos) ein paar inter­es­san­te Din­ge erzählt und wir haben uns über die gene­rel­le Situa­ti­on von Ver­an­stal­tun­gen bei Word­Press und im Fedi­ver­se unterhalten. Bei Plug­ins für Ver­an­stal­tungs-Kalen­der bin ich wirk­lich kri­tisch. Ich habe damals das Ein­ga­be­for­mu­lar für den Ver­an­stal­tungs­ka­len­der bei kiel4kiel.de ent­wi­ckelt. Wenn man jeden Monat 1000 Ter­mi­ne ein­ge­ben will, sieht man zu, dass man da kei­nen ein­zi­gen Klick zu viel macht, weil das immer x1000 geht.Ich habe noch kein For­mu­lar für Ver­an­stal­tun­gen gese­hen, das so prak­tisch war, wie unser User-Inter­face damals. Das fängt damit an, dass Ver­an­stal­tun­gen NIE um 00:00 Uhr anfan­gen. Die Zeit­aus­wahl steht aber bei jeder Soft­ware auf 00:00 und die­ser Stan­dard­wert lässt sich nicht konfigurieren.Events bei WordPressIch bin der Mei­nung, dass es kein ein­zi­ges gutes Event-Plug­in für Word­Press gibt. Auch kein kom­mer­zi­el­les. Ich ken­ne kei­nes. Die meis­ten sind mit Fea­tures total über­la­den, die dafür auch noch schlecht zu bedie­nen sind. Dazu kommt, dass alle Kalen­der schei­ße aus­se­hen und man sie nicht anpas­sen kann – selbst wenn sie sich ein eige­nes Tem­p­la­te-Sys­tem über­legt haben.Beim Web­Mon­tag brau­che ich ein ein­fa­ches Plug­in bei dem man Datum und Uhr­zeit und eine Adres­se ein­gibt. Außer­dem soll man sich an- und abmel­den kön­nen. Ich habe das vor lan­ger Zeit über einen Cus­tom-Post-Type erle­digt, den ich um Datum und Loca­ti­on erwei­tert habe. Außer­dem habe ich die Kom­men­tar­funk­ti­on dort so „gehackt“, dass das Text­feld aus­ge­blen­det wird. So mel­det man sich an, indem man einen Kom­men­tar ohne Text abgibt. Des­we­gen bekommt man auch kei­ne Benach­rich­ti­gung und man kann sich auch dar­über nicht abmelden. Das funk­tio­niert. Aber ich hät­te trotz­dem eine etwas kom­for­ta­ble­re Lösung. Bei Gather­Press arbei­ten wohl gera­de eini­ge moti­vier­te Ent­wick­ler an einem neu­en Plug­in für Events. Das sieht auf den ers­ten Blick sehr auf­ge­räumt aus und scheint sich an den moder­nen Para­dig­men der Word­Press-Ent­wick­lung zu orientieren.Events im FediverseAuch im Fedi­ver­se gibt es Ver­an­stal­tun­gen. Mobi­li­zon ist eine Lösung dafür. Auf so einer Instanz gibt es dann nur Ver­an­stal­tun­gen. Ich ken­ne mich damit nicht so gut aus. Aber super wäre es natür­lich, wenn ich einem Account bei Mobi­li­zon bspw. von Mast­o­don aus fol­gen könn­te und wenn mir dann eine Ver­an­stal­tung durch die Time­line läuft, kli­cke ich auf „teil­neh­men“ und bin ange­mel­det. Das geht aber noch nicht. Es gibt aber wohl Über­le­gun­gen bei Mast­o­don, Ver­an­stal­tun­gen bes­ser zu unter­stüt­zen. Fri­en­di­ca, Hub­zil­la und Ple­ro­ma kön­nen das schon – zumin­dest teilweise.Auf der Sei­te von Word­Press arbei­ten And­re Men­rath und Mat­thi­as Pfef­fer­le (@pfefferle) an einer Bridge für die bestehen­den Event-Plug­ins ins Fediverse.Die­se The­ma ist lei­der noch nicht ganz so kon­kret wie die grund­sätz­li­che Unter­stüt­zung für Arti­kel von Word­Press in Mast­o­don. Es sind eini­ge Puz­zle­tei­le, die ein inter­es­san­tes Bild ver­spre­chen, wenn sie jemand klug zusammensetzt. Ich fänd es cool, wenn ich eine Lösung hät­te bei der Men­schen den Ver­an­stal­tun­gen des Web­Mon­tags bspw. auf Mast­o­don fol­gen und sich anmel­den könn­ten. Zusätz­lich wäre es aber natür­lich nötig, dass man sich auch wei­ter­hin unkom­pli­ziert ohne Account anmel­den könn­te. Ein Ter­min-Plug­in, bei dem ich eine Stan­dard-Start­zeit ein­stel­len kann, weil der Web­Mon­tag immer ab 19 Uhr sei­ne Tür öff­net; einen Stan­dard-Ver­an­stal­tungs­ort, weil wir meis­tens in der Star­ter­kit­chen sind. Eine öffent­lich ein­seh­ba­re Teil­nah­me­lis­te, aus der sich Leu­te auch auf Wunsch aus­blen­den kön­nen und die sich nach ein paar Mona­ten von allei­ne löscht und nur die zusam­men gerech­ne­te Zahl der Anmel­dun­gen behält.Dar­auf muss ich wohl noch ein wenig war­ten. Aber Vor­freu­de ist ja auch etwas Schönes.

The problem with #ActivityPub and the #fediverse is not enough people are posting bangers

Hello FediverseIf everything works out according to plan, when I hit publish on this post it will show up in the #Fediverse. After a year of on-and-off attempts, to implement #ActivityPub on this website, with no success, I have hopefully cracked it! Well, when I say “I have hopefully cracked it,” what I mean is @pfefferle@mastodon.social and the #WordPress “open office hours” program, have cracked it. It turns out; if you have a problem with the WordPress ActivityPub plugin, the best thing to do is disable other plugins and, though a process of elimination, see if one of them is the issue. So big thanks to Mathias and WordPress for your help on this.Now this is working and I am broadcasting out into the Fediverse, I feel like I should modify my content a little to appeal to all of you woke, leftists, godless, communists 🙂 out there. For a while I was far too smitten with the every little #Sustainability initiative, every little carbon reduction program, and every other bit of  #GreenWashing that was put out there by brands. Full confession I actually believed that ElonMusk wanted to save the planet! Yeh I know, I was naive…While I do continue to applaud any actions that a corporation takes, that materially helps either people or planet, it’s clear that problems are systemic. We need corporations to shift from Shareholder Primacy to Stakeholder Capitalism, valuing environmental and social impact alongside profit. Or try someting completely different. Right now, if there is a more sustainable or ethical brand choice to be had, we should always take it, but we must understand, that we are not “saving the planet” with those choices, just minimising our impact. Nebula TV channel, Our Changing Climate,  has this excellent video on the subject of Ethical Consumerism.It turns out, that whoever first pointed out “Corporations are Psychopaths” was mostly correct – How a corporation is designed to function, putting shareholders before people and planet, is psychopathic behaviour. (Psychopathic behaviour includes a lack of empathy and remorse, superficial charm, manipulation, and a disregard for social norms and the rights of others.) The only solution is to rewrite corporate charters and incorporation acts and include specific legal provisions that mandate environmental and social responsibility, shifting the core purpose of business beyond mere profit maximisation. Ultimately Corporations and their leaders are never going to fully act in the best interests of people and planet, because that’s not what they were created to do.So the plan, for 2026, is to be posting more content here that challenges both brands and the whole system. To shine a light on the negative impacts to people and planet that brands are having. And to share more content about organisations and companies working on regeneration and decarbonisation.Please follow and share your thoughts and ideas below.#activitypub #branding #corporations #fediverse #sustaiability #sustainability #wordpress

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!

When someone quote-boosts one of my Mastodon toots why do I get two identical notifications? One for the quote and the other for the boost? I use the web client of an instance that runs Mastodon Glitch Edition.#mastodon #fediverse

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
