That's a good question. I'll have to think about that. I'm pretty sure there are some things I and others can come up with, and I wouldn't be surprised if others have discussed this as well.

@Rob
The current owners of Tumblr (Automattic) have also enabled ActivityPub support for WordPress. While it's possible that they might do such a thing as you describe, such an action would *very significantly* hurt the brand image they have cultivated, and unlike Twitter they are not run by an incompetent nitwit.
Plus, if more social media companies beside Tumblr join in, any one of them doing that would become harder to pull off.

I've seen a few folks join Mastodon and complain that it's too difficult to follow people on other servers, with the cutting and pasting and whatnot. But @bramus has now created a neat Chrome extension (or bookmarklet, if you prefer to go that route) that let's you avoid all that hassle.

I just tested it out... by following @bramus with it!

I'm blocked so I cantt correct Rich... but who is going to tell him that he is lieing (or misinformed).

We have clear rules about child porn as is shown below. I was asked but someone about it and at the time we had never had to address it so I mentioned tthe moderators would need to vote to get it added to our rules.. moments later we voted and added it... Naturally the person lied and posted out of context about the vote and never bothered to let people know we updated our rules moments later.

As to his comment about kiwifarms.. lets be clear. I saw a list on a website whose domain name was not associated with kiwifarms as far as I knew.. it just so happened that list was generated using a tool that happened to be written by kiwifarms... obviously I didnt know this.

This shit is getting absurd...

LRT etc. The admin of QOTO uses kiwifarms tools and says whether he'd block instances with CSAM would have to be decided "democratically". Everyone...

@freemo So much of this is just silly, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it. I’m not going to be defederating from instances that have thoughtful moderation policies that do their best to enforce them, I can tell you that. I’ll recommend Qoto too.

Ah, the feeling of old-style internet drama, I’ve kinda missed it! (not that much)

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.

The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him

Many Greens were ambivalent about the resolution to declare Russia a state sponsor of terrorism. It's purely symbolic: the EU has no such legal instrument, unlike the US.
But the DDOS attack elevated the significance of the vote and hardened MEPs, I'm told

When I get to 100,000 followers on Mastodon I will officially bring Mastodons back from extinction.

Boost and favorite this post to help make this happen ASAP.

Elon's take over of Twitter has set a lot of things into motion in the digital world :amaze:

Tumblr and now also Flickr are thinking about intergrating ActivityPub so it will be able to connect to the Fediverse! :fediverse:

A lot of lay offs in the mainstream social media but the Fediverse is only growing!

The world is waking up :blobcheerwitch: Social media can be fun but also privacy friendly at the same time, you got the proof now!❤️

No billioaires needed ✅

@TheKinrar @mastodonusercount It seems the mastodonusercount bot had some other issues afterwards, as the owner was updating the source code on the fly.

I hate to tell a lot of these quick trigger finger Fediblock people this, but it's true:

Fediblock should only be used as the nuclear option.

If you use it for things like, "Someone might do a bad thing," then you are diminishing its power.

@freemo @Pat I see.
Anyway, I am stepping out of the convo for now. I have some other stuff to do at the moment. I'll check back in later.

@Pat @freemo I'm actually not sure about the minimum proportion that would be needed for stopping COVID-19 transmission, particularly with current variants. This is the kind of stuff I defer to my medical doctor parents over, and unfortunately both of them are busy today.
