This works on SO MANY LEVELS.
Well. Two levels.
And I like both of them.

저 그림은 일본 화가 도용이고. 미국은 트럼프 못 쫓아낸 시점에서 민주국가로는 안 망할 수가 있나 모르겠다.

but i expect we'll continue to apply the tools and techniques we use to verify humans' software output against agent's software output as well

Canadian government officials, what are you still doing on X in 2026?

Hi #fediverse! I'm working on Hackers' Pub, a small #ActivityPub-powered social platform for developers and tech folks.

We're currently drafting a content #moderation (#flag/#report) system and would really appreciate any feedback from those who have experience with federated moderation—we're still learning.

Some ideas we're exploring:

• Protecting reporter anonymity while giving reported users enough context to understand and improve
• Graduated responses (warning → content removal → suspension) rather than jumping to bans
• Using LLM to help match reports to code of conduct provisions
• Supporting ActivityPub Flag activity for cross-instance reports

Our guiding principle is that moderation should be about growth, not punishment. Expulsion is the last resort.

Here's the full draft if you're curious: https://github.com/hackers-pub/hackerspub/issues/192.

If you've dealt with moderation in federated contexts, what challenges did you run into? What worked well? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

@dansup I see landscape.

This is the RFC standard for hitting a user over the head with a rubber chicken:

유툽에서 이런 저런 영상 보다가 봤는데 사실이라고 www.youtube.com/shorts/p1mJc... 체코 선수 Ester Ledecká라는 분인데 2018 평창 동계올림픽에서 있었던 일; 원래 주종목이던 스노보드 평행대회전뿐 아니라 경험 삼아 출전한 알파인 스키 슈퍼-G에서도 금메달을 따며 연습주행도 없는 고속 단판 경기에서 세계 최정상 스키 선수들을 모두 제치고 1위를 기록해 올림픽 역사상 한 대회에서 스키와 스노보드 두 종목 동시 금메달이라는 전무후무한 업적을 남긴 실제 사건이라고 함;; ㅋㅋㅋ

내가 세계 1위라고??????

the steam/itch sales end monday so if you wanted to pick up the gayest SMB3-like with fox girls better do it soon

our other games are also on sale: turnbased body snatching roguelike midboss ($5), kitsune tails' prequel kitsune zero ($2.50), and cute block pushing puzzler ultra hat dimension ($1.64)

steam: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/15673/Kitsune_Games_Complete_Pack/
itch: https://eniko.itch.io/

the fact that Grok is able to generate fake CSAM on demand (well, there is supposed to be a guard rail, but it clearly didn't work) raises questions about the contents of its' training set.

I wonder if any company has ever ruined their core product and reputation as much as Google did with search.

So if I want to release the source code for a video game with AGPL, but also want to stipulate that nobody can offer the game on Steam or any other platform without my consent, is there a license for that? :/

@bert_hubertBert Hubert NL 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦 I think this can use some extra attention: The .be registry wants to leave AWS and has created an RFP with lots of details of what they need. I think this could be the first sheep over the dam. I hope you can bring extra attention to this and a precedent can be created.

If you're making eyes at me but the lube on your bedside nightstand is something other than this, you need to get on my level. 😜

Saying ”Grok apologized” is like If I type “YOU’RE A BITCH” into Speak-And-Spell and tell you “Speak-An-Spell says you’re a bitch”

Because we're talking a lot about digital independence right now (as we should), here's some advice:

Before you register a domain name, please check who operates its top level domain, as much of your digital independence will depend on who they are! Also, you might be surprised who you're sponsoring.

The ICANN has a list of the registry operators:
