What New Year's #Resolution would you prefer to see followed through on our #ActivityPub #fediverse in 2026?
How do you 👁️ envision the #SocialWeb of the #future to be like? Can you imagine a 💃 🕺 #peopleverse that seamlessly weaves our online and offline worlds? #HarmoniousTechnology that supports #people's needs?
🎶 Harmonious and 🫂 @humanetech is what we need. Make your #poll pick and 🧚 fantasize and muse on your ideal #Socialnetworking environment..

Recently we have seen a massive spike of calls to /api/v1/instance/domain_blocks, from all kinds of players, including Google, Microsoft, Chinese IP addresses, a server farm in Cyprus and one belonging to an online casino farm on Malta. Those happen on medic.cafe as well as #Hule, which does not support domain blocks (yet).
I am wondering: what is the value of those (~4k today) spiders? Who would benefit from knowing which instances are blocked by whom? I am aware, that there's a bot run by an "edgy" MAGA/Hatepost/Memefarm instance, but this massive interest across actors makes me wonder.

sometimes i wish #activitypub and servers/clients supported both Like and Love activities, for when liking something isn't strong enough...!

A sobering way to start the New Year - Manton Reece, creator of Micro.blog has a good blog (unsurprisingly), and discusses stats showing that the monthly active number of users on the Fediverse is slowly shrinking:
https://www.manton.org/2025/12/27/fediverse-predictions.html
I can probably attest to this, given how many accounts I found to be dead or abandoned when I had to manually curate the list of people I was following during the process of moving to this account.
As I replied over there, we need the #Fediverse to grow, in order to maintain a diversity of thought and particularly political opinion, especially in the current climate, but the Fediverse definitely has an on-boarding issue that centralised platforms such as Bluesky don't have. #Mastodon is the #ActivityPub tentpole & showcase platform, and if it can't get it sorted, then what can?
Edit: Deleted and re-posted due to timeline weirdness.

I could use more eyes on this by #activityPub developers - I've spent a bunch of time classifying the quirks with respect to how various fediverse software reports user counts in nodeinfo - any comments on whether there are any major quirks I've missed and/or whether I've properly described the quirks I did document?

What are you looking for in social media? (1/N)
https://privacy.thenexus.today/what-are-you-looking-for-on-social-media/
Since you're seeing this on fedi -- or Bluesky, Blacksy, or elsewhere in the ATmosphere -- you already know the value of alternative social media that's not controlled by techbro white supremacist CEO's who make money by exploiting their users and working with their cronies in authoritarian governments.
But, what we have today is only the tip of the iceberg of what's possible.

Kind of funny to see all the #activitypub stuff that’s happening in the logs when I enabled migration mode. Kind of a DoS at first. Still missing a lot of followers through. I remember from last time this process can take a few days.
