Challenge: comment on this post with an account that runs the most obscure, esoteric, unique or strange ActivityPub software that you can think of!

Very curious what people can come up with

Boosts welcome

@pfefferle@mastodon.social @deadsuperhero@social.treehouse.systems yeah sorry if it came across as too negative: i really want this plugin to work well!

@deadsuperhero@social.treehouse.systems @pfefferle@mastodon.social honestly, as long as mastodon cannot parse articles and instead transforms it into links, its not going to be particularly useful yet. calckey does it way better, but the users arent there. I'm not actively promoting it until masto fixes this

@activitypubblueskybridge@venera.social if someone wants to experiment with ATproto and bridges now that federation is available for testing: someone made a MVP PDS for ATproto https://github.com/DavidBuchanan314/picopds

@gabek@social.gabekangas.com @controlfreak@hackers.town thats a banger

@matthieu_xyz @atomicpoet @Gargron@mastodon.social @fediversenews@venera.social good post, I agree.

I do like the feed that just got added today on bluesky, that shows the first post of new users signing up. That might be helpful for onboarding new people, and something that fedi can probably take some inspiration from.

got tickets for 100 gecs 😱😱

@rysiek@mstdn.social @pkreissel@chaos.social This is exactly why a spam attack from a 10k MAU sized server would be so much worse. Those instances dont have 24/7 mod support, so its easy to hit the attack when mods are not available. And other admins will indeed choose defederate way quicker instead of mute, which will irreversibly sever all follow connections.

Im really not sure why you're so excited about the possibility of earlier/easier defederation.

@rysiek@mstdn.social @pkreissel@chaos.social like, to make this very practical and concrete: mstdn.social has 1 admin and 2 mods, all publicly known, and all very easy to find out which overlapping timezones they operate in. It also has open signups, so you can execute the exact same crypto spam attack as is happening now.

Having other admins go like 'oh this is a smaller server, so we can defederate, its fine', would suck pretty bad.

I think there is a lot of criticism to be had that there is not better tooling to deal with spam (see Matt Blaze about DM's for example). I just dont see how criticizing m.s. would actually solve the spam issue as it would just move to the next biggest open signup server.

@panos @kraft lol this is pretty awesome, I had the interest of WP/Automattic in Calckey written down for my weekly newsletter, but this process is moving quicker than I can write down.

@atomicpoet@mastodon.social no i totally get it, youve made a good and hard choice. Calckey got pretty hard to use the last few days under the server load tbh, so I'm glad you did.

I'm fascinated by how sudden this uptick in Calckey interest is though.

@atomicpoet@mastodon.social its truly remarkable how effective creating fomo is
