@Linux just curious as to what this has to do with ActivityPub?

@mastodonmigration As evident from their discussion in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1305 certainly there is a use case for small organizations or instances mostly serving bots (based on feeds). Also, instance admins has always been able to force all users follow a specific account (I know mstdn.ca does it often for announcements), so there is no change other than allowing admins to decide the format of the Bluesky handle. The bot follows them back so users are notified and can unfollow the bot as well.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @LaurensHof@fediversereport.com Some Fediverse software like Castopod (for Podcast) just aren't capable of following the bridge... or really anyone, but they may still want it bridged to Bluesky. Or maybe admins on like small instances (honestly you should get an admin you trust anyways but that's another story). But this discussion was sparked because of the former (https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1051)

We've heard your feedback on the Terms of Service updates for mastodon.social and mastodon.online, and we're pausing the implementation date (previously announced to users via email as 1st July 2025) so we can take further advice and make improvements.

It may take us a moment to consult with the right people, so please bear with us while we do so. As always, we appreciate your patience and support.

The memes declaring "Gaza must be freed from Hamas" miss the critical point that after Netanyahu again broke the January ceasefire, Hamas themselves said they will relinquish all power in Gaza, release all hostages, and leave, on the condition that the Israeli military stop occupying Gaza—and Netanyahu rejected the offer because he refuses to give up Gaza.

This man is a war criminal committing genocide, and people are still focused on Hamas as if they control Israel's military.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.

Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

Capitalism kills.

/2 Unprincipled, servile, and morally treasonous to America are all very apt descriptions of Mark Levin.

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

When 10 missiles and 40 shahed drones are fired for Israel from Iran, UK military assets take off and rush in to defend Israeli civilians from them.

However, when TEN TIMES the amount is aimed at civilian targets in Kiyv, Ukrainian skies are empty of friendly assistance.

I think this sends a very clear message about orders of importance for the United Kingdom.

It’s former colonies far away get more love than allies closer to home.

Economic uncertainty the race to #AI are pillaging IT #jobmarket
Most open IT positions involve large language models, blockchain technology, and omnichannel commerce. Outside of those areas, it's slim pickings.

Federal officials on Wednesday appear to have "revoked" the layoffs of more than 400 CDC employees who had been abruptly dismissed months ago, which may reinstate the entire staff of a laboratory that tracks viral hepatitis and most employees in one of the CDC's environmental health divisions.

More than 400 CDC staff may be...

@molly0xfff Final little comment: if documenting the truth didn't change anything then why would they go so far out of their way to make it impossible? :p

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.
