How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) (ploum.net)

With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

Followgraph for Mastodon (followgraph.vercel.app)

Followgraph looks up all the people you follow on Mastodon, and then the people they follow. Then it sorts them by the number of mutuals, or otherwise by how popular those accounts are. It then shows the list with Mastodon links to follow them.

Content moderation should be open and transparent (doctorow.medium.com)

Are there any plans for a Block Party type initiative (see link for details) to assist with moderating Threads (and others)? (www.theverge.com)

One of the most difficult problems for instances which do federate with Threads (full support for both them and the Fedipact) is the lack of moderation and very large number of bad actors on Threads. The ability to share block lists and automatically apply certain types of block would help a lot. Does anything like this already...

How does join-lemmy.org pick recommended instances? (join-lemmy.org)

Currently it's recommending sopuli.xyz, an instance i've never heard of that requires applications to join, and beehaw, an instance that defederated from the other large instances....

Group Convergence (blog.erlend.sh)

Groups as both a formal ActivityPub spec and general concept deeply invigorate me. I previously wrote about group-to-group following (FEP-d36d) as the missing glue layer to successfully transition /r/rust to the threadiverse....

Lemmy Fediverse Browser (Lemmyverse) (lemmyverse.net)

I’ve been working on this for a couple weeks now, if you’ve not seen it then it lets you search/filter communities and instances on all Lemmy instances....

What happens if the AT Protocol will get large adoption? Will it be a good or a bad thing? Will it lead to more fragmentation? Will it be compatible with ActivityPub? (atproto.com)

I stumbled upon this, but I don’t know how it would affect the fediverse. The integrated account migration / moving sounds interesting, but on the other hand, it seems to belong to a company rather than a standardization comitee (W3C ActivityPub). I think it should be prevented that there will be a ActivityPub and AT fediverse...

Mastodon and today's fediverse are unsafe by design and unsafe by default (privacy.thenexus.today)

Even though millions of people left Twitter in 2023 – and millions more are ready to move as soon as there’s a viable alternative – the fediverse isn’t growing.1 One reason why: today’s fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default – especially for Black and Indigenous people, women of color, LGBTAIQ2S+...
