Serving coffee with a side glass of carbonated water is something I'd like to see take off in Australia! It's common place in Buenos Aires, but I've never seen it at home

There has been some discourse on this topic involving Blahaj Zone, as we briefly appeared on TheBadSpace at one point.

I am requesting that people do not use Blahaj Zone as part of a dialogue to undermine the efforts of black folk trying to make the fediverse safer. Whatever your feelings on blocklists, and however we got listed, the matter has been resolved and we are no longer listed.

I actively repudiate our inclusion in any discourse that makes black folk feel less welcome on the fediverse.

@meow@fedi.absturztau.be @Jain@blob.cat Well, at the moment, a quote boost with a CW will do the trick, but AP also allows CWs to be added on regular boosts.

The problem is, no one bothers to look for CWs on boosts, and treats them as regular boosts.

But a quote boost and a boost and very different behind the scenes, so you really have to pick one or the other.

Our hope is that both methods become relatively common

@meow@fedi.absturztau.be @Jain@blob.cat They broke in a merge and we haven't fixed them yet, because until very recently, no one else could see them anyway. But they will be fixed :)

Well, that didn't take long. Though threads.net is not yet federating with the wider fediverse, they are currently home to several hate groups such as Libs of Tik Tok and their ilk. We will not federate with any instance that knowingly chooses to house hate speech, so a full defederation of threads.net has been made by blahaj.zone

@ahriboy@mk.absturztau.be @youronlyone@c.im @zepfanman@blahaj.zone @youronlyone@calckey.social I should add that we will not be taking our lemmy instance down. A very real queer community has developed on our lemmy instance, and there is no pathway to transfer it to another platform. Our options are to either leave it up and running or to take it down, and I'm not willing to take down the only queer focused threadiverse instance that I'm aware of.

That will do very real harm to the community, and ultimately, protecting that community is my main priority.

@ahriboy@mk.absturztau.be @youronlyone@c.im @zepfanman@blahaj.zone @youronlyone@calckey.social Yep! We're just trying to iron some kinks out in the initial setup, but we'll have one very soon!

@maikelthedev @jdp23@calckey.social @kainoa@calckey.social @supakaity@blahaj.zone What you're seeing there is a design choice of Calckey (or possibly Misskey?). When someone deletes a post, all of the replies are deleted too. So that post almost certainly federated here, but was then deleted when a post higher up the chain was removed.

I'm not a huge fan of that feature, but until now, it hasn't really seemed like much of an issue.

@roadriverrail@signs.codes @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt My issue with framing it a trauma is that I want to define my existence on my own terms. Framing it as a trauma response takes away my agency and centres the impact that transphobes have had, rather than centering our own personal empowerment.

Yeah, we all experience trauma, but I don't want that to be the lens through which I focus my experiences.

@fu@libranet.de I wonder if that can be turned off easily at the admin level?

We'll likely be spinning up an instance soon, so I'll find out soon enough I guess :)

Hi Fediverse! I've been neglecting you the last couple of days, though the best possible reasons :)

Did I miss anything exciting in fedinews whilst I was otherwise distracted?

I just had a bit of a look at kbin.social and I have to say, kbin looks really impressive!

If you've never heard of kbin, it's a fediverse platform specifically focusing on groups. Broadly speaking, similar to lemmy, the goal is to create a fediverse take on the reddit experience. However, kbin also integrates fediverse groups like gup.pe, chirp and friendica groups, and that is a killer feature as far as I'm concerned!

We've been running a lemmy instance for a few months now, but it might be time to look at spinning up our own kbin instance too!

@atomicpoet@calckey.social Once more for the kids in the back!

If you're a fediverse dev or a fedivangelist, please read this! This is our chance to really get in to the nitty gritty of search opt in permissions at the AP level!

@clacke@libranet.de @atomicpoet@mastodon.social It's Calckey specific

@DozingCat@social.vivaldi.net Post editing in Calckey is being actively worked on at the moment!

@SimplyJennifer@zirk.us

As a bit of a followup on the groups conversation earlier, I thought I'd add a bit more to the story now that I'm not on my phone :)

The fediverse has a few different group implementations.

Friendica's came first, and is built in to the friendica platform. And basically, it boosts any post that tags the account, so if you follow the account, you will see all of its boosts in your timeline. It is designed to overcome limitations of federation, and to help you avoid having to follow a whole heap of accounts you otherwise wouldn't follow, just to see their content on a particular topic.

Then gup.pe came along. It's a platform in and of itself, not part of Friendica or Mastodon. It only does groups, and works in exactly the same way that Friendica groups do.

And then there is chirp.social. It's the same concept as gup.pe, but unlike gup.pe groups, chirp.social groups are owned and moderated.

And finally, there is lemmy!

Lemmy is group based, but works fundamentally differently to the above groups. Lemmy is basically a federated equivalent of reddit. And because of the federation, you can follow lemmy communities from Mastodon etc, and even participate in them. But, all of that conversation ends up on a lemmy instance, in a lemmy community, where it can be viewed, just like a conversation in a reddit subreddit can be.

What all of the above have in common though is a "group actor", which is basically a federated activitypub account that you can follow from whatever fediverse platform you use. Follow the account, posts appear in your timelines, lists and searches! :)

@tost@mk.toast.cafe @puniko@mk.absturztau.be @cleo@bz.pawdev.me deletes functioning as people expectHow do people expect it to work?

@tost@mk.toast.cafe @puniko@mk.absturztau.be @cleo@bz.pawdev.me Is that just a case of federating the deletion event to every instance?

@cleo@bz.pawdev.me @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Something that puts instances on a defederated list after 7 days of no successful traffic, but then a daily/weekly "health check" for instances on that list so they come off the list if they're healthy again?
