#askFedi Does anybody know if there is an #ActivityPub software that *produces* multilingual objects leveraging the contentMap feature?

Summer/Autumn 2025: Little coding, but lots of socializing and planning
At the first October weekend I (@linos) was attending the Berlin FediDay 2025. It was a meetup of the Berlin and German community, developers of Fediverse applications, and representatives of German speaking media institutions. It was great to see old friends again and meet some online contacts for the first time. We were discussing the future and the role of the Fediverse, which was super motivating. #FediDay
Two weeks later, I travelled to Sofia, Bulgaria, to attend this year’s OpenFest, give a talk and lead a workshop on how the Fediverse can help announce and discover events. Unfortunately, the talk didn’t attract much attention, as LLMs are currently drawing more of an audience. But the discussions with those in attendance were very interesting. The workshop was mainly about trying out #Gancio, #WordPress and #Mastodon and learning about the possibilities for local communities by trying out the applications themselves. I simply provided real test instances, created a list of tasks, including minor pitfalls, and, of course, answered all the questions that came up – and there were quite a few! And a big thank you to the crew and the organizing team, who were so friendly and simply wonderful throughout. #OpenFest
Yesterday, I had an awesome online meeting with the incredibly cool folks behind LAUTI, a free and open-source software for hosting small event calendars. #LAUTI is aimed at small and medium-sized communities and has a big focus on social, cultural and activist stuff. The instance for the Stuttgart area, run by the collective that develops it (@klasse_methode@chaos.social), can be found at https://einftopf.info. The developers are in the process of exploring the potential of #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. I’m very excited and think this could be really great! In case you’ve been wondering: I see LAUTI kind of in between #Mobilizon and #Gancio. In my opinion, it would not be a competitor to them, but it could be a great addition to the Fediverse by filling this gap.
I will be at the #SFSCON in Bolzano, Italy, in two weeks. There will be a whole afternoon focusing on the Fediverse! So in case you’re there you’re invited to join my short talk about Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse: status quo and vision. Or you’re welcome any time to say hello and let’s have a chat.
After that, it’s time to sit down and get back to programming. But it’s very important to me to continually evaluate and understand what the priorities are, and to remind myself why it’s so important that we all continue our work in this area.

If anyone read these screenshots, you've read more than I have. They mostly just seem to repeat themselves, and I lost interest a long time ago.
But I do not mind sharing them as a warning --- Do not trust Sharkey.
Do not give them money.
Do not share any information, including your e-mail.

More nonsense from within, Sharkey Development nonsense.
The only reason my e-mail is even in this stupid chain of theirs is because they shared my information. 🙄

Someone once asked for proof that Sharkey Development tried to dox me and even leaked my information.
It’s been nearly two years since Sharkey scammed a bunch of people — tricking them into giving money for what turned out to be their personal computer, not the server they claimed it was for. The promised website never materialized either, until two years later, when they finally launched it just to list their friends’ sites.
That said, the screenshots are from a chain email I keep getting included in because they did, in fact, share my information. And now, some idiot in their little group seems to be upset with others, and I keep getting dragged into it through that same email list.

Moving topics/contexts between communities
Moving contexts (aka topics/threads) between audiences (aka categories/communities) should be something that can be communicated outward.
NodeBB is experimenting with using the Move activity to communicate this to other instances.
When a context is moved from one audience to another, the object and all of its descendants go with it.

Ooo oh it's so, so good.
Can we now create #AOL #AIM but on the #Activitypub protocol? I forgot how amazing it was to have like 5 perfectly-sized windows on my computer screen all the time.

ISO a #MastodonMeta #ActivityPub #Fediverse meta 🧵 I read a couple years ago : iirc #Mastodon 's historical awful treatment of #PoC, especially #BlackFedi , is complicated af bc the exact thing that's causing strife is one of the most valued ways Mastodon/Fediverse works to begin with. The author had clearly had a lot of experience on #Masto & was like "this is a cycle I've seen over n over again," playing server ban whac-a-mole. It was super insightful. Hoping someone can clock it?

I have such amazing reading this weekend - borrowed #Enshittification by @pluralistic via my local library. The case studies of #Google and #Amazon are on point & disturbing. Hoping to see mention of #Mastodon &/or the #Activitypub protocol at some point 👀😆
Got the ARC #Murderbot new book, Platform Decay. As much as I dislike the TV series, so far this installment is just as wry & funny as the book series so I'm in a super relieved, grateful place. Srsly thank 🧵 1/?

If you @hiphopheaven aren't capable to take a look under the hood, it's easy to miss the fundamental differences.
So, why don't you publish a few TikTok videos against genocide, and learn more about effects of deplatforming?
While @dansup is working hard for yOUR #FreeSpeech content too, I'd appreciate if you at least familiarize yourself with a few advantages of #activitypub or STFU.
