PieFed 1.4 is released - emoji, federated stackoverflow and AI content filters

Comments can be marked as an Answer, like on StackOverflow.

Was anything changed about how this federates? If no, what protections are in place against someone just patching their instance software to always return an "answer": true on Notes?

The Revolution Will Not Make the Hacker News Front Page

Earlier this week, I announced the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory–a project I’ve been working on since June 2024. Hundreds of people shared it on Mastodon and BlueSky. Comparatively, almost nobody on Hacker News ever saw it.

I'll admit I missed this despite it being posted in !technology@lemmy.world. Lumping Masto and Bluesky together here is weird though given the Masto post got 300+ boosts while the Blusky post got 25 reposts.

Why ActivityPub over Nostr? - function only

Wow, that's bad. I would hate working with this so much.

of numbers instead of human-readable names

TBF, they have introduced a 'verified' system that lets you use human readable names.

Still relevant, hasnt changed much after 2 years

Yeah, people are tribal and decentralisation lets people express that in ways centralised platforms don't. Something, something, tech won't save us.

Clicking though to community to post and selecting a community from the create post page are same problem rearranged. A user who subbed to ~technology@piefed.social isn't going to know the difference between !technology@lemmy.world, !technology@lemmy.zip and !technology@piefed.social.

Solution 2 in the post, multicommunities. I'm not sure it actually solves the problem though, as you still have to go to the actual community to post and I imagine multicomms add an extra layer of confusion to that.

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

Can't wait for the follow up post decrying PeerTube for only allowing videos, or Bookwrym for only allowing book reviews. Just because it's ActivityPub doesn't mean it has to be a Twitter timeline.

Once a major actor in a decentralised network starts to mess with the protocol, there are only two possible output: either that actor lose steam or that actor becomes dominant enough to impose its own vision of the protocol. In fact, there’s a third option: the whole protocol becomes irrelevant because nobody trust it anymore.

You mean like Mastodon? Where's the angry diatribe about Mastodon not allowing posts to have more than 4 pictures despite other platforms allowing more (Pixelfed allows up to 20 for example)?

Demo of Emissary's upcoming data migration tool.

They mention SWICG's data portability spec, I assume they're referring to LOLA: https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/lola

How many instances have you been orphaned from?

Just lemmy.org.uk for me.

It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on?

Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world

Hexbear runs an allowlist, they only federate with instances they select.

PieFed 1.3 is released

Obviously it'd only be a subset of HTML. No website that uses user-submitted HTML (Tumblr, AO3, Royal Road, etc) actually allows the full suite of tags.

Cool!

Image markdown style formatting to allow more advanced control of how images are rendered. e.g. ![image alt text :: width=300px](https://url/ to image)

You might as just let users write the <img> tags directly at this point, at least then you won't add noise to third party apps' accessibility stacks.

(I honestly wouldn't be opposed to letting users write HTML directly, it was one of Tumblr's best features imo)

Mastodon: Our ideas about Packs

Interestingly, the person who added these to Bluesky say they're a bad idea: https://blue.mackuba.eu/skythread/?author=hailey.at&post=3m2mldbsmys2t

Delusions of a Protocol

Of course, a hallmark of a decentralized network is that there is no central authority that could actually do that. Implicitly, this demand is a rejection of the very concept of decentralization.

What, you can absolutely ban people on a decentralised network. You may not be able to expunge someone from a part of the network they control themselves, but you can expunge them from the part you control. Bluesky has this power and has used it in the past.

Did something change recently with how Mastodon displays content from Lemmy / the threadiverse?
