@ernie @tedium I think #ATproto is garbage and the only good solution to #Cyberfacism beyond massive opposition is to "#Cyberpunk harder!"
Oh dear... What if I can tie it into #ActivityPub So that you can run your own instance, and perhaps federate!

AI Agents Need Data Integrity
AI agents will soon act autonomously, making data integrity the core security pillar of Web 3.0.
Decentralized protocols, like ActivityPub/Mastodon, let users own and verify data, embedding cryptographic verification, formal proofs, and transparent governance to ensure trustworthy AI operations.
Without robust integrity controls, AI systems risk amplified errors, regulatory non‑compliance, and loss of trust, so future designs must embed layered verification, transparent auditing, and stakeholder‑driven governance as core principles.
Bruce Schneier wrote a great article about this:

Die @meissa erklärt und zeigt mal, was bei #forgejo in Sachen #federation schon so alles geht. Voll spannend für die Zukunft

@LePertti @fedicat I know @pfefferle developer of #WordPress #ActivityPub plugin is working with his team on followers integration. Now you can just follow, and other fediverse account can follow you as well. But you haven't got a readable feed just yet, unless installing external "Friends" plugin. But you can as well write through mastodon client, from your blog's profile. I try if you want...

The New Leaf Journal became inaccessable for about 1-2 minutes this morning. Fortunately, I opened the site almost immediately when it happened. I opened my server logs and found what was probably the offending bot/scraper so I could block it. I kept the server logs open to watch for any other questionable activity. I saw an interesting user-agent string.
Aug 22 11:22:46 [IP ADDRESS] - - [22/Aug/2025:15:22:46 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 63425 "-" "GodHatesMastodon"My two sites are often crawled by Mastodon servers and Fediverse-related crawlers because both sites function as ActivityPub servers (you can follow this account on the Fediverse at @naferrell@social.emcafe.org). I had not previously seen the crawler GodHatesMastodon, but I understand through the grapevine that there are some questionable instances out there. Fortunately, there is no reason for anyone to hate The New Leaf Journal. As my friend and colleague Victor V. Gurbo once explained, “The New Leaf Journal is a family website.”

In reference to ActivityPub and a Solid...
'These technologies prioritize integrity through cryptographic verification that proves authorship, decentralized architectures that eliminate vulnerable central authorities, machine-readable semantics that make meaning explicit—structured data formats that allow computers to understand participants and actions..."
So, yeah, they're a big deal in a world of AI generated slop.
