@BeAware @ExpertPlus right? There shouldn't be any product you *unconditionally* support

@BeAware @ExpertPlus

Everytime I see stuff like this I imagine this being about email, like 40 years ago people saying 'f your email protocol, why aren't you using POP3??'

They released the new #BigTen Maps commercial

@FlashMobOfOne @emarktaylor @cfb top 3 Patriots moment was when they got caught spying on the 2-14 Bengals (2019)

@FlashMobOfOne @emarktaylor @cfb have they finished getting punished for the last few times they cheated yet?

It's been awhile, but anyone have suggestions of people to follow for #MLB, #CFB, and #NFL content. If you have #Bengals, #Reds, #OhioState, and #Bearcats people that's even better

I think we should pick a #threads fediverse user at random who has like 3 followers and make one of their posts go extremely viral so they have to sit there confused about the thousands of anonymous 'fediverse users' liking and sharing their posts

@BeAware I think it depends on the app, I don't know about html specifically (I also didn't consider that i could insert images into the middle of my post lol)

But, like fedilab will render all my markdown posts properly from my glitch-soc server even if the account is using a vanilla mastodon server. But the base mastodon app will not.

@BeAware

@BeAware Cool, just making sure. I think I've got my server setup to automatically approve all sites, I didn't see the cards but I think I might still have a bunch of cached link previews it's showing from before I updated.

Is the 'fediverse:creator' card approval tied to the trending links approved domains? Or is there somewhere else I'd need to approve orgs to see those cards?

My sister memed my cat

My sister said she'll pet my cat for every like this gets

@liaizon fedistats has hourly posts from threads, but not number of unique users unfortunately https://fedistats.cc/nodes/threads.net

Anyone have a good blog post on the fediverse for people who have 0 technical know how? Something like Fediverse for Dummies in 5 minutes

@stefan @BeAware I think there could be a legal exploration into this topic as well.

I know implied copyright has been discussed for years regarding publishing to the web or to an RSS feed. In the US I recall a case where a subscription news-syndication platform was pulling in the full text of RSS feeds and they were being sued under the idea that just because someone posts an RSS feed doesn't mean you can use the contents of that RSS feed for any purpose.

I'm not sure if the same would apply to ActivityPub but I don't know if I have an explanation for why it wouldn't

@BeAware I mean this is true for anything on the internet, once something is posted publicly you can't undo that.

Doesn't mean someone isn't able to request their posts aren't used in certain ways. A bad actor won't acknowledge that request, so people should be aware that they have no genuine control, but at least in general people will respect their request for their data to be handled in specific ways.

@BeAware @ics @ttpphd in this case they didn't use activitypub though, they used the API on mastodon.social and copied all the posts from the federated timeline (and didn't link back to the posts or accounts anywhere). They plan on adding AP in the future but this wasn't that

@laurenshof Is that because Threads has started letting their users follow users on others servers or does bridgy have an alternative way to opt-in now?

@BeAware @emergencygg not entirely true, software outside of mastodon supports federating all replies and mastodon has some github issues requesting that feature (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/9409)

I think most of the link-aggregator activitypub software does this, and certain mastodon clients will do this for you as well
