Okay the pic above in this thread was posted on a masto server, and boosted here by me. I can see no way to reveal the alt-text from here on my Mitra account.

Normally, a hovering the pointer momentarily with a mouse-over will bring up the alt-txt (mastodon and forks).

Alternatively one may need to click on the photo which brings it into focus, and then one can do a mouse-over (pleroma and forks).

Friendica, Misskey, Takahe, Hubzilla, Pixelfed, and others have their own similar or same methods to reveal the alt-txt.

You mean wrt Hyolobrika mentioned?

>import my followlist to Nostr

To which you added:

>It's a 10 line Python script. I should honestly just do it.

Yes indeed - You should. How 'bout, nosgrate, or perhaps, portafed, or portafollow?

After you do that, what would it entail for the other direction as well? i.e., import follow lists from nostr to ActivityPub platforms? Even bidirectional?

ActivityPub <==> nostr

I prolly shouldn't do too much spitballing, those things eventually fall off the ceiling into people's beers.

Test post...

Gemini URI's should resolve as links:

gemini://git.skyjake.fi/

Gemini aware browsers will either open the page or launch Lagrange or other default Gemini browser

Some Fediverse platforms already correctly render Gemini URI's as valid links

I've been seeing this question come up time and again over the past several years, and it's understandable when you consider that often, the people asking it come from the deprecated, legacy silo space.

"When I follow someone, why don't I see their older posts?" - or some variant of that.

For example, when you follow someone on Faceplant, you see everything going back historically; because it's a silo. One theoretical host (server) with a centralized database that everyone using that host/service has in common.

When you follow someone in the #Fediverse, you begin to see their posts in your timeline/feed moving forward from the point in time that you follow them, because we're talking about the database local to the Fediverse server instance where your account is.

Okay kiddies, let's be real careful with this - again, Be really mindful, and especially careful here. You can accidentally DoS your box very easily if you're not, but here's a useful tool for those occasions where you want a history you might not normally have:

One can redact, especially since Loïc Dachary will need to have regular GPL so his twice failed GNA can effectively embed proprietary code into the Forĝejo flavor he intends to run for his hosting service.

You see, if it's AGPL3 - which Forĝejo is and has been since 15 April following a duly held election - then he would have to make available any changes to that code on the hosted service to anyone that asks... Such is the reason for the AGPL itself, because SaaS providers must make the modifications to any hosted AGPL daemons available on demand, while you don't have to do that with plain old GPL code (only the code you distribute after you modify it).

I suspect this is why Loïc Dachary artificially extended the adoption of any Copyleft license.

After his GNA was a miserable failure (twice, after trying to carry Savannah to that domain name after the leadership itself of the FSF initially had to wrest control away from him), first, with a Savannah clone followed by an unsuccessful attempt to provide hosting services for devs using Gitea, he's turned now to try and give it a go with Forĝejo - so from a hosting provider's perspective it's very convenient to modify the code and not have to reveal it make available for inspection any of it.

So he bowed out the Forĝejo project after half a dozen active community members left in disgust, (at least) one founding member after promising a salary and then performing a rug pull (his first offer to resign in disgrace after being called to the carpet for that transgression).

Finally, after mishandling the move to Copyleft and dragging it asking for over three months he left there project and community completely. Perhaps he was surprised that an orderly affect for rotation of the organization's 🗝️ keys 🔐 with business carrying on as usual, getting underway without him or the infrastructure he had deployed that wasn't even community controlled (since taken offline and replaced) , he returned, after a day and a half...

His org admin/owner privs still had not yet been rescinded - at this point her literally claimed he was, himself, going to reboot the community as he saw fit, and usurped and gutted the community status quo, reshaping governance and rules to suit himself... The parallel to that same type of usurpation by general Pinochet just a couple of days after the President of Chile promoted him to commander of all the armed forces -subsequently deposed and replaced with a Junta by Pinochet... was... astounding.

Like I said, one can redact - but you cannot erase. You cannot erase any of these truths as they are all archived... Including the real reasons why Loïc Dachary's wiki pages were removed, as per the Wikimedia editors who state why, and not simply as Loïc Dachary stated... But that's a really embarrassing topic for another time, not particularly pertinent today.

Butt you can't erase. Archives of all of Loïc Dachary's antics are archived and screenshotted in convenient redundancy.

This is all so very unfortunate, because Forĝejo is otherwise a good thing, save for the damage to good people and then project itself in his destructive wake.

@alex @epic

Huh?

Gimme $10k and I'll give you an atty AND a 501(c)(3).

Alex... Better yet, just boiler plate it - nolo press and a few hundred bucks - search the Sec'y of State web archives for whatev state you want, read the Articles of Incorporation for various others structured how you want yours and file.

It's pretty straight forward, and you really don't need more than say $1500 to have a good paralegal with an actual J.D. to look it over and set you in track - most have an attorney at the ready anyway in case that's needed.

Geez!

We should chat.
