Ok one case where generated data would be useful.

An initial dataset of fictional fediverse objects for fediverse software to test against.

Like I'm old fashioned. It's better to test against dev before production.

Especially when your software is dealing with the things that people post.

@onepictEsther Payne :bisexual_flag: I've seen a few projects that do something like that.

@helge is working on funfedi.dev, it collects representative examples like these: funfedi.dev/support_tables/gen

There's also observatory.cyber.harvard.edu by @dariusDarius Kazemi which also includes numbers on how common each object schema is in the wild. (The website is running a bit slow here if I actually try to initiate a comparison, but it seems to work.)

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://fietkau.social/users/julian/statuses/114959230528678000 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
