Fediverse Report – #144

The News

The Bristol Cable has launched a mobile app that bundles their journalism with the fediverse in a single app. It’s built in partnership with the Newsmast Foundation and available to members from £1/month. While their journalistic articles remain free, The Bristol Cable sees the social fediverse integration as the premium additonal option. The app consists of three layers: a home screen with news articles by the Bristol Cable, a dedicated member space for connecting with journalists and other supporters, and curated channels that pull in content on themes like climate change, linking Bristol’s local work to wider discussions. The app functions as a fediverse server, with the dedicated member space functioning as a local-only posting place, and the curated channels as a way to connect with the rest of the fediverse network, via Newsmasts’ channel.org network.

WebSocialBR is the first fediverse event that will be held in Brazil, on December 3rd in Brasília. The event wants to “bring together community administrators, managers, parliamentarians, researchers, and communicators to exchange experiences and strengthen decentralized networks in the country”. The event draws backing from Brazil’s Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br), the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, and FediForum. ActivityPub co-creator Evan Prodromou and FediForum co-founder Johannes Ernst will participate virtually. WebSocialBR is organisated by Alquimídia, who has been coordinating Brazilian instances on age-restriction legislation and pushing for a “.social.br” domain category for federated networks.

Bonfire talks more about their platform and crowdfunding, by writing about their Mutal Aid stretch goal for the project. Bonfire also talks more about what the project is, and how it is “plural by design”. The opening sentence points is a clear statement by the project: “Bonfire is difficult to pin down with a single definition, and that’s a feature, not a bug.” The article then lists various features of the project, such as how it’s extensible, and that it’s a framework for building community platforms. Bonfire even quotes some people saying that they’re interested in the project, but find it confusing as to what it actually is. Bonfire has chosen for the approach that they do not want to run a flagship server for Bonfire Social. That however is now leading to the situation where there are no people running a Bonfire server in production for a community yet, making it hard to demonstrate in practice what Bonfire Social actually looks like. This poses a challenge for their crowdfunding effort. When potential backers try to understand what they’re funding, they encounter a platform that exists primarily as possibility rather than demonstration. The project’s own article quotes would-be supporters expressing this confusion directly: “I do wish they could get a little better at communicating what exactly their project is though, it took a hot minute, reading, and also asking folks on lemmy to try and figure out kinda-sorta-vaguely what they’re building…” Another notes, “I wish them the best, but I think they really need to work on their sales pitch. It’s hard to tell what it is.”Without a clear accessible demonstration of how Bonfire can operate in practice, it is a hard pitch to ask backers to fund an abstract framework based on its potential applications.

I usually don’t write about Threads, but this caught my eye: The latest PewResearch study on social media usage by Americans find that 8% of adult Americans have ever used Threads. This is in contrast with 21% of adults for X, and 4% for Bluesky, with Mastodon not measured. Meanwhile, Threads claimed a few months ago to have over 400M monthly active users, and another study from this summer found that Threads and X have almost the same number of daily app users (115M vs 130M). I’m really not sure what’s going on with these numbers: 8% of American adults is around 21M people who say they have ever used Threads. This leaves at least 380M monthly active users that are not in the US, but it is unclear where they are located. It seems that Europe also does not have a large number of Threads users, as the app launched much later on the continent. The most likely explanation seems to me that Threads aggressively counts people who use Instagram and get shown a Threads post on Instagram as a user of Threads, which would go a long way towards explaining both why the user numbers for Threads are so large while also explaining why so few people actually know about Threads.

FOSDEM has the Social Web Devroom about ActivityPub, hosted by the Social Web Foundation, and the deadline to submit talks is December 1st. There is still space for more talks to be hosted, so consider submitting a talk if you’re going to FOSDEM!

쿠팡 브리치 : 실명정보와 주소가 연결된 채로 나갔는데 크레덴셜이 지켜졌다고 덜 심각하게 볼 하등의 이유가 없다. 뉴스가 나오도록 메인 페이지에 배너도 팝업도 없는 상황은 더 용서할 수 없는 추악한 방식의 인시던트 컨트롤이다. 당국에 리포트했으니까 대고객 안내까지 당국에 짬치시겠다? 개새끼짓도 정도껏 해라. 사고친 당사자로써 관심이 피해축소에만 쏠려있다는 증거다. 청문회로 불러서 이마와 뒤통수를 다 깨놓아야 한다.

If you have a lot of art: paintings, drawings etc. HOW do you enjoy them?

For a long time I couldn't afford much art. So I always framed it right away and hung it up. But, the walls are a little crowded now. Considering a system where I rotate the art every half year? Seasonally? I would also have a designated closet spot for art that isn't hanging.

Anyone do this?

If you must know, yes it's almost all ants. But you knew that part.

@futurebirdmyrmepropagandist as someone whose wife is a working artist, thank you for your service. I am under the impression that collecting enthusiastically like this is vanishingly rare.

Boring advice: Investing in flat files for works on paper, renting climate controlled storage for paintings & sculpture.

Even better: lending your works out to arts orgs, showing your collection in exhibitions, and treating it like a cohesive entity with a website and with proper metadata.

Its once again time for everyone's favorite annual contest, Whamageddon!

The rules are simple

The Rules!
The 1st Rule

The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing WHAM's Christmas classic; "Last Christmas".

The 2nd Rule

The game starts on December 1st, and finishes at the end of December 24th.
Use your local timezone, if you'd like.

Only the original version applies. Enjoy the ?#!$&%! out of remixes and covers.

The 4th Rule

You're out as soon as you recognise the song.

Bonus Rule

Post here with the hashtag when you get hit.

PvP?

While we can't stop you from deliberately sending your friends to Whamhalla, the intention is that this is a survival game. Not a Battle Royale. So ... don't be a dick, mkay?

Can any of you make these animal hug socks? I don't know how much time it would take, or the cost of materials and the pattern, but they are really popular all of a sudden. I think they would look so cute to wear around the house. I've seen them in sloth, rabbit, panda, red tailed panda, koala, axolotl, bunny, bat, cow, dinosaur, raccoon, and tiger.

I would happily purchase these from an independent small business knitter.

Knitted socks that include a plush knitted cute animal sewn in a way to suggest that it is hugging your leg and doesn't want to let go of you, like it loves you. There is a purple and pink bat version complete with spread wings, a panda bear version in black and white, a brown and cream sloth, a too plain white bunny rabbit, a red tailed panda with cream accents, an adorable gray koala, a cat in a Día de los Muertos style for some reason but very cute kitty cat, and even an axolotl in a creamy orange color.

Heute Frühlingsrollen selbst gewickelt. Werden dann frittiert. Ja, den Teig diesmal gekauft. Habe einen Bäcker gefunden, der den vegan anbietet. Da war ich dann zu faul den selbst zu wälzen.

Gefüllt mit Weiß - und Rotkraut, Räuchertofu aus Europa, und Karottenstreifen.¹

So viel Kohl gehobelt, dass wir noch zwei Tage Salat haben werden. :-)

¹ ist übrigens alles aus der Region, für die GranatapfelhasserInnen 🤡

Teilweise gefaltetes Blatt mit Klebepaste aus Tapiokastärke, etwas Gemüse ragt heraus.Ein Papier voller aufgerollter, ungekochter Frühlingsrollen neben Schüsseln mit viel Kohle und Küchenwerkzeug.
