Muting The Word BlueSky
Well, that’s enough of that. I’m nosy, so I’m curious about what people are saying about Bluesky. Nope. Enough of that. Not doing it. The propaganda around social media, in general, is so fucking bad.
I think I’ll just add Bluesky to my muted words list, along with the domains for bridges. In my opinion, Bluesky isn’t the problem; rather, antisocial personalities are. ActivityPub essentially connects a collection of sites with their own rules and tight moderation. Because of that, antisocial personalities who have a hard time conforming to cultural norms tend to get their accounts suspended, unless they have their own instance, quickly.
This is a people problem, not a technology problem. The issue are their personalities. The issue is not the protocol.
I think this has created a wave of resentment, with people gravitating toward the leopards waiting to eat their faces. I have my own mental health issues, and I really don’t want to deal with theirs. So, Bluesky goes on my 10-layered muted words list.

Trying Out The New Block Feature
So, one of the most frustrating things about a WordPress federated blog was the inability to actually block people on ActivityPub. You could keep their comments from showing up on your site's posts; however, they could still interact with your content in the fediverse. With the latest update, the developers added the ability to block actors on ActivityPub. I’ve been wanting to try it out, but I didn’t have anyone in mind—until now. Luckily, I do. Let's see if it works. Fediverse Reactionshttps://dragon-of-electric-ciphers.x10.mx/archives/343
@jensimmons Would asking for custom protocol handler support across all browsers be appropriate? Or standardizing a web+AP handler for #activitypub being baked into browsers by default?
I'm going to stop going down this rabbit hole. I am just trying to debug this error on my server, so I am bored. From what I gather, people on #Bluesky seem to really hate #ActivityPub because of the moderation. They dislike that instances have local moderation and agency. That's the issue.
@gardiner_bryant For your excellent posts over at https://gardinerbryant.com, have you considered adding the ability to comment, like and boost via #ActivityPub? 🤔

I have been flirting with the idea of setting up a #selfhosted #Mastodon server since I first read about #ActivityPub, but I was put off by the lack of community that you have running your own.
I joined mastodon.ie and had a whale of a time, and once I had built up a set of accounts I followed and even interacted with from time to time, I figured it was time to set sail on my own.
So far so good, imported all of my following lists from the two main servers I used. My timeline is bangin!

Currently finishing my activitypub-laravel package so I can drop-in ActivityPub support into my Loops laravel project.
It’s pretty cool, add AP support to any existing Laravel project in a few minutes 😎
Realized that the way we do notes on #WriteFreely doesn't work with #Mastodon, if you include a title. They don't show up!
So I'll see how it looks if we include it in the body of the Note.
Imagina que estás en una nación que está viviendo un genocidio. Están matando a la gente a tiros, con bombas, y se están muriendo de hambre. Tu vecino probablemente te mataría por una manzana, para salvar a su hijo.
El dinero no vale nada en este escenario real, porque una manzana vale más que todo el oro que alguien pueda tener en el bolsillo.
¡Es una estafa!
#Gaza #Palestine # Israel #Estafa #Fediverse #Mastodon #Misskey #ActivityPub
Gaza está sufriendo un bloqueo.
Por eso todo el mundo se está muriendo de hambre: porque no hay suficiente comida para todos, porque no está entrando suficiente. Israel ha estado bloqueando los suministros durante meses.
Han sido bombardeados hasta quedar en la Edad de Piedra. No hay bibliotecas públicas, escuelas ni universidades. Incluso los hospitales han sido reducidos a escombros, y los centros médicos improvisados están desbordados y con poco personal.
Pero este estafador afirma que ha vivido un milagro y ha encontrado a alguien que puede superar el bloqueo y está dispuesto a compartir su comida. O que no le importa morirse de hambre —por un precio— porque ha descubierto lo imposible: cómo llevarse el dinero consigo después de morir. Ah, y de alguna manera también tiene electricidad e internet, mientras todos los demás carecen de ello.
Y tu dólar, aparentemente, puede seguir apoyando esa obra de ficción.
Es una ESTAFA.
No les envíes ni un centavo, ni compartas sus tonterías.
Denuncia y bloquea.
