This was something which @aaronpk pushed for, and ultimately I think was right. The general idea is that your user can live off-site and have the same inbox/outbox as your posts but *aggregate* the posts from your webpage. "id" is the uri of the json-ld object that is distributed for activitypub purposes, "url" is the uri that existed on the source blogpost.

Of course, I'm not sure if any implementations of AP actually are implemented to support this; they could tho

@tomatensson I have several German-speaking folk following me. 😁

Now, the above thread is at least in part also about bluesky.

Not because I have anything against bluesky directly (some of what they've done is really interesting. I'm sure a great community is forming there. The early days of a network are always a lot of fun) but because Bluesky has investors now, and those investors are going to expect a return.

And it'll take a while. Things will be great for a while. There will be a lot of fun to be had and a lot of attention to go around and very little that you are viscerally upset about.

But, eventually, the piper will call the tune. You don't raise that kind of money from blockchain VCs for an altruistic project, it just doesn't happen.

Eventually, that platform will also turn on you.

It is absolutely unfair that anyone should have to learn anything about web hosting and payment processing to sell things online.

It's absolutely ableist that etsy (or whichever other free and easy platform) can't be trusted.

It is absolutely cruel that the modern web is designed to extract as much as it can from you, and to give as little back as possible -- to make you dependent on their services, and then to make those services worse and worse at your expense.

Admittedly fiddly, but one of the really nice things about these is that they import directly into a list. Not sure if Bluesky has this capability, but actually for organizing your follows it is great!

Very interested in getting feedback from the community and coordinating with others to generate and promote Follow Pack lists.

Understand that it would be better to have these things integrated into the UI, but it is what we can do now. 🤷

This is so frustrating!

The US has the largest slave population in the world.

Locking an innocent person up under threat of death, and forcing them to work for you for free for years, is slavery.

While California was feeling smug about ourselves for voting for Harris, we also rejected a ballot initiative that would have prevented prison slave labor. We like enslaving people.

1. "Trust me!" But... I don't trust you.🤷🏿♂️

2. I don't have to put my hand in the fire to know that it's hot. I can see a friend get burned, and learn the lesson through their pain. When they warn me that fire is hot, I believe them.

Said another way, the influential first Black women who tried to land on Mastodon got burned very badly, and told all their friends on Twitter that this place is hell.

Eg https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/112841155756513897

Still, we are going to need what I will call call background networks of trust that can ground protection from and opposition to Republican Fascism. This is why I have been urging people to show up to settings where we might develop them such as local libraries and muncipal government meetings. But then today, I realized that we who are active on Mastodon have another channel. Some of us live near each other. 5/

@mekkaokereke @wendinoakland The algorithm shows different kids different stuff.

IMO, the tell in the original story is the dieting. That's always been a really niche idea, but selling diet pills to healthy people is literally the business of right-wing radio.

this is why Wall Street keeps going up and up and up. it's all an illusion. we are all being gaslit and played by all the people who are supposedly at odds in this MAGA shit-show.

this is the "new world order" George H Bush augured over 30 years ago in a speech. the problem is, neither he nor his sons or foot-soldiers got to organize this shit. on the contrary, they made a huge fucking mess with Iraq & Afghanistan…

If the Democratic party expects to ever win another national election this is what they need to be doing now, today, not in a year or two or three:
1) Get lists of registered voters who did not vote this year.
2) Knock on their doors.
3) "I'll give you ten bucks to answer five minutes of questions about the last election."
4) "Why didn't you vote in the last election?"
5) "What would have convinced you to vote?"
6) Campaign for the next n years on whatever they tell you.

Americans surely did vote for this or fell for a lot of lies and sat it out.

They didn’t do their research or listen to anyone else and now they’re going to find out what he’s really about and how detrimental that decision was.

Only way to learn now. I told everyone.

Americans Didn’t Vote for What Donald Trump Is About to Give Them:

“There was perhaps no clearer measure of white solidarity than the actions of white women in 2016. The majority of them — 53 percent — disregarded the common needs of women and went against a fellow white woman to vote with their power trait, the white side of their identities to which Trump appealed, rather than help an experienced woman, and themselves, make history.”

~ Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, p. 328

12 November 2007, 'Lust Lust Lust' is released as the third studio album by The Raveonettes.

"Along with their stylistically romantic view of vintage American pop culture there’s always been a miasma of bruised sexual energy and more than a suggestion of something a little sinister and sleazy lurking beneath the surface[...]"

Some time in the past few days, #Google, which of course is well-known for always adequately testing their software before they ship it </s>, broke phone calling in their #MessagesForWeb web app. I've tested it on four different computers, two different browsers, two different operating systems, and two different Linux versions. In all cases, I can't hear audio coming from the other end of the call. I use this functionality nearly every day so I know it broke recently. *sigh*

No but for real, dedicating this weekend to the 02 (two) women who took a silent stand with Palestinian symbols and refused to move despite the pressure from cops and Zionist antifa men double their size. One of the women wore a hijab and I can only imagine, like it's easy for me to be brave when I can out-thug any gringos (and I did just that until they went away), but a small immigrant woman with 1 ally in between 900 Ultradeutsche and a stream of riot cops on horses, both hostile?

But I have to imagine she must feel the way I feel all the time these days, which is: Would I be able to look in the eyes of a Gaza prisoner being bombed and say, sorry I did nothing I was afraid of… uh, German prisons? Shouty Mackers? Deportation? Indymedia callouts?

"America did this. America, through the process of a free and fair election, demanded this. America, as an idea, concept, and institution, wanted this. And America, as a collective, deserves to get what it wants. ...

Now that he is here, we deserve our fate, because the most fundamental truth about Trump’s reelection is that Trump was right about us."
