Silly me still had an old grandparented API to cross-post from #Friendica to #Twitter - and guess what, I didn't notice until today that the "free" API is no longer free. Like heck am I paying Elon to post on a place I barely even browse nowadays

One of many reasons why there's a justified resistance to #GenAI is that, by letting someone or something else do the work on your behalf, you lose on learning how does the system work, and how to actually maintain it.

Considering the #TagsPub mess and the fact that it's made by a co-creator of the #ActivityPub protocol: is AP fundamentally incapable of doing consent by default and if so, how to replace it by a private-by-default protocol where every interaction must be authorized by all parts?

Pinging the #Friendica devs on this one - do we have support for alt-text on profile pictures yet?

The US #Esperanto Association is closing its Mastodon account, leaving only Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram as their remaining networks. And neither of the three supports so much as a RSS feed. Why?
RE: esperanto.masto.host/users/Van…

Somebody went and built a chatroom powered directly by #ActivityPub, called "Harmony". Roughly the opposite of Movim, Harmony aims to replace Discord and even includes end-to-end encryption (although I wonder if it'll be compatible with the implementation by Bonfire and Emissary). mony.lol/
