Best paragraph by @bruno in this thoughtfully written piece about #Bluesky:
> When people say 'decentralized social media', most people think of #Mastodon, or more properly the #ActivityPub protocol that Mastodon implements. But AT Proto is not really decentralized in the same way as ActivityPub. People don't necessarily realize this because if you try to explain to someone how AT Proto works, they immediately go to sleep, but let's try anyway.
😅❤️👏

Checking out Bonfire's latest release. This Federation Status dashboard is pretty cool.
And get this - it's not just visible to admins - end users can see the same, just filtered to their OWN processes.
That's really helpful if you're trying to debug an issue with another platform development team.

Welcome to the Fediverse!
There is one true, universal standard on the Fediverse:
1) Nazis are not welcome or tolerated — ever.
No matter which platform you use — Mastodon, Misskey, PixelFed, PeerTube, or any of the many others — you’re part of a larger, connected network. And in that network, Nazis are removed quickly and decisively.

💡 Proposal for ActivityPub: FediStamp
What if any federated platform (Mastodon, WordPress, Pixelfed, PeerTube, WriteFreely...) could offer automatic certification of original content?
When publishing a poem, article, photo or video, you check "Certify original content" and the system gives you:
🔗 A public verifiable link to the registry
📄 A .fedistamp file as permanent proof
✅ A visible badge (Certified content) with clickable link
🧩 Metadata embedded in ActivityPub that travels with each share
Example: I publish a poem on Mastodon, enable the option, and instantly get my ✓ certified proof of authorship.
👉 This doesn't replace copyright (which already protects you), but strengthens it with technical evidence of authorship and date.
⚡ Key points:
Only registers the content hash (no cryptocurrency, just authorship certification).
Free.
Opt-in: you choose what to certify.
Automatic protection for creators across the federated ecosystem, without relying on centralized platforms.
I'm not a programmer, just a writer who sees the need. If someone technical sees merit and feasibility, go ahead.

💡 Propuesta para ActivityPub: FediStamp
¿Y si cualquier plataforma federada (Mastodon, WordPress, Pixelfed, PeerTube, WriteFreely...) pudiera ofrecer certificación automática de contenido original?
Al publicar un poema, artículo, foto o video, marcas "Certificar contenido original" y el sistema te da:
🔗 Un enlace público verificable al registro
📄 Un archivo .fedistamp descargable como prueba permanente
✅ Un badge visible (Contenido certificado) con enlace clicable
🧩 Metadatos embebidos en ActivityPub que viajan con cada compartición
Ejemplo: publico un poema en Mastodon, activo la opción y automáticamente obtengo mi ✓ certificado con prueba verificable.
👉 Esto no sustituye al derecho de autor (que ya te protege desde la creación), pero lo refuerza al darte una prueba técnica de autoría y fecha.
⚡ Lo importante:
Solo registra el hash del contenido (no criptomonedas, solo certificación de autoría).
Gratis.
Opt-in: tú decides qué certificar.
Así habría protección automática para creadores en todo el ecosistema federado, sin depender de plataformas centralizadas.
No soy programador, solo un escritor que ve la necesidad. Si alguien técnico le ve sentido y viabilidad, adelante.

Also let’s boost the hell out of any intros we come across so that the new people find their connections more quickly.

My app gets the same #ActivityPub Delete message for a particular user every 3-4 minutes.
I'm almost certain there's something I'm doing wrong that's causing the remote server to keep reminding me about the Delete. But I'm not finding it, and I'm also not convinced that systems don't just spam Deletes for no reason too.

Coordinated Pro-Russian Propaganda Network Targeting ActivityPub and ATProto Services
> Since 15 September, #IFTAS has been tracking a coordinated network of accounts operating across #Mastodon.
> These accounts are engaged in a high-volume #propaganda campaign, promoting pro-Russian narratives and linking to #Telegram channels associated with known state-aligned #disinformation operations.
> We became aware of a related investigation by the #Antibot4Navalny research team that observed these accounts bridging to #Bluesky, and we have since collaborated to enhance our investigations and share our findings.
> Their public post provides further context.

Looks like there may well be a surge of users from Blacksky and the other "alternative" ATProto instances checking out the Fedi, or reactivating old accounts, given that they're now discovering that ATProto is a Potemkin Village of decentralization and that BSky still hold all the cards.
This time, can we please try not to act like assholes / the HOA while they find their feet.
