Today the #flohmarkt team releases flohmarkt 0.20.0. The most important new feature is a opt-out workflow that requires items and user bios to be approved by moderation before going public. Find the full changelog at:

https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/releases/tag/0.20.0

The new process is on per default. You can deactivate it in Administration → Settings → [X] Moderate new items and [X] Moderate user profiles.

When you "break" the anti-AI software I have on my website that does not illustrate that the software doesn't work well enough: It shows that you are someone who explicitly circumvents people's stated values, preferences and borders. You are an abuser.

It's a test about how you treat other people, whether you respect their dignity. And you failed.

The more I work on Hollo, the more its Mastodon-compatible API feels like a straitjacket. I chose it for a practical reason: people could use existing clients, and I wouldn't have to build a frontend too. I still think that was the right call at the time.

The problem is that clients can only expose what Mastodon's API represents. I keep coming up with ideas, then asking whether the API has anywhere to put them. If it doesn't, I have no way to get the feature in front of users.

ActivityPub API (so-called “C2S”) might be the eventual answer, but it doesn't help much today. I don't know of any clients Hollo users could realistically use with it, and adoption is still limited.

So I keep coming back to the idea that Hollo will need a frontend of its own. I'd keep the Mastodon API for existing apps. I'm not especially eager to take on a whole frontend, but I don't see another way to try ideas that don't fit Mastodon's model.

Announcing it here publicly for the first time!

I've been building a general purpose activitypub pwa.

Follow @nuages for official updates!

I was thinking about forking ActivityPub and calling it ActivityCafe.
It will natively only support 'ristretto' connections, and the only allowed emoji is 🤌.

@okwithmydecay we're really excited about this feature! I'm working on a redesign of the book page to feature it more prominently: https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/pull/3988

@yaenntz This is the PR to watch if you'd like to keep an eye on it: https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/pull/3960

@yaenntz Unfortunately you’ll just have to wait, but we’re making a lot of progress and are very close. Once it’s released, your instance will have to update to the latest version.

#Mastodon's #ActivityPub inbox treats object types in tiers. Note and Question are supported directly. A second tier, Article, Page, Image, Audio, Video, and Event, gets converted to a title, a summary, and a link; content itself doesn't show. Anything outside both tiers is dropped on delivery, which is a large part of why so much of the fediverse federates as Note regardless of what the object actually is.

mastodon/mastodon#24079 asks for content to show up whenever it's present and the mediaType is supported, independent of type. Open since 2023, and as far as the thread shows, no core team engagement beyond one offhand remark that they're not happy with the status quo either.

Reading the issue text closely, it's a bit ambiguous whether it covers the drop tier or only the convert-to-title-and-link tier. I left a comment asking for clarification, since the fix looks very different depending on the answer.

If you build on ActivityPub, a comment or a reaction there is worth more than another workaround.

late #DIDit project: I just migrated my pfefferle.org away from google mail...

was easier than I thought 😊

One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint.

AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it.

I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one.

If you are a member of Codeberg e.V. please take the time to participate in the poll that was just sent out about banning vibe-coded projects on Codeberg.

Please agree to the proposal. Slop can live on GitHub.

@balbec will do!

Y'all this is some COOL-ASS-SHIT! Wanted to get into @spritely tech but you didn't use emacs or didn't run Guix or all those other things? What if there was a structural editor right in the browser that was *designed* for hacking on @spritely tech?

Well that's EXACTLY what @dthompson is working on! I gave it a test today and built this cool picture language demo, printing out a rainbow right at the REPL!

It's a structural editor! So you're not even editing text, you're editing the structure of the code itself! It's damn cool!

@holothuroid that's not intentional -- could you open a bug on github for it? https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues

@mhp thank you!!
