Thanks to our administrator @admin, C dot IM has been upgraded to Mastodon 4.4.6!
That was fast — I didn’t even know Mastodon 4.4.6 had been released. In fact, it was so fast that the official Mastodon account hasn’t even announced it yet. 🤯
Outstanding! 🤩

Hello big media,
#YouTube is not another technology to get your content out to people and make money. It is a competitor. Same with #xitter and #tiktok and the #meta platforms.
You're thinking of #peertube and #ActivityPub. Work with us to build the ecosystem that helps everyone more fairly compete. Better for the free market and civics.
thanks from the #SocialWeb
I think one of the things that makes me kind of annoying to some here is that I actually understand #ActivityPub.
#Loops has entered #beta with #ActivityPub support, allowing users to connect with creators across the #fediverse. This means users can follow and interact with creators on platforms like #Mastodon and #Pixelfed, and vice versa. Loops has implemented several technical features to ensure smooth federation, including a shared inbox, HTTP signatures, and smart content representation. https://blog.joinloops.org/loops-joins-the-fediverse/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
Loops Joins the Fediverse

I would assume that, from an ActivityPub & JSON-LD point-of-view, that these WARFN "bites" / "pokes" are probably some type of custom Activity type.

Just to stress this in case anypony on Fediverse wants to get smug.
You know what ALSO doesn't have a way in its most popular mainstream platform for users to choose which servers will see which posts they make to avoid moderation issues?
ActivityPub!
