  • Gotcha. I had a feeling something around how Mastodon doesn’t support ActivityPub Groups (yet?) would be where things are going on. Congrats on piefed, by the way. I’ll start studying the codebase now as I’m keen to understand how server-to-server communication works more deeply than I do now. Sending Announce(?) and fetching stuff from other servers…

    When I look at the ActivityPub Note object (via curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json https://hachyderm.io/@otl/111887721960075860) I see:

    {
        "@context": [

            }
        ],

                "items": []
            }
        }
    }
    

    So I’m assuming an Announce was posted to the shared inboxes at lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and ttrpg.network… hmm… I better start reading!





  • how can a writer be so ignorant.

    They probably know exactly what they’re doing. Singling out Japan makes for a “better” headline to a mostly North American audience.

    It’s also a bit of a clever headline. Compare the original headline and this one: “All major automakers continue to produce sports cars”. Both headlines could technically be true.

    But the original headline lets you get away with stirring up some emotion e.g. “Japan alone is keeping the sportscar industry afloat, European, American manufacturers don’t care, sportscars are dying”. Life, death: strong words! It’s misleading and shitty journalism.









  • … social media eventually leads to us seeing what most of society is really like… boring, bigoted and stupid.

    Reminds me a little bit of Tragedy of the commons.

    Which issue are they trying to solve?

    Right? Stuff from the “old days” is still popular and usable. We can still email people, create private groups on WhatsApp/Signal/whatever to avoid algorithms, and subscribe to blogs by RSS (or email newsletter if unsupported, usually). In fact, it’s never been easier.

    1. many people have handheld computers in their pocket at all times
    2. Signal et al. are free and the apps are great. Remember paying per message?
    3. Mobile data plans are getting cheaper
    4. Many independent email providers with very high reliability

    Just delete Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, whatever and move on.
