Yes, I wonder if there is at least anything which Jay Graber did not promise to anyone!
#ActivityPub
We are basically doing what #signal and in particular moxie refuses to do or declares impossible: federation.
Both #email and #activitypub ecosystems are all about federation.
However, #deltachat is vertically centralized in that all UIs use the same #rust core which implements all networking, encryption, chat/group/message logic in a single centralized place. The now 40+ #chatmail mail relay network is driven from centralized code.
At each level replication and federation is built in.
Mark Fisher’s “Post-Capitalist Island”
This post is a literal Deepseek answer, this morning, to the following prompt: "What is a postcapitalist island, in Mark Fisher's sense?" Mark Fisher's concept of a "postcapitalist island" isn't a meticulously defined term in his work, but rather a powerful metaphor and conceptual tool he used, primarily in Capitalist Realism (2009), to explore the possibility of imagining and creating spaces outside the seemingly all-encompassing logic of capitalism. It signifies a zone of exception […]https://josemurilo.com/2025/06/19/mark-fishers-post-capitalist-island/
Could someone explain a hypothetical.
If Vance were to join mastodon by comparison, assuming a similar desire to block from so many users, how differently might this play out based on the way that federation works within an Activity Pub context.
Just trying to understand the practical nature of the two protocols as applied to this case.
From what I understand of ATProrocol all that folks blocking achieves is it filters that account off for that user but otherwise the account can roll along just fine to other users. Correct me if I’m wrong here also. Keen to know more.

ActivityPub in WordPress ist super. Aber wie immer, es einfach blind zu verwenden, kann zu rechtlichen Problemen führen, hier insbesondere bezüglich der DSGVO. Das kommt daher, dass es naturgemäß Daten von entfernten Servern lädt. Aber das lässt sich beheben.

ActivityPub in WordPress is great. But as per usual, using it blindly can bring you into legal trouble, especially regarding GDPR, if applicable to you. This is due to its nature that it loads data from remote servers. But that’s fixable, so let’s fix it.

meta/threads invading #fediverse doesn’t feel like “growth”. it feels like a trojan horse.
this place was built on care, consent, moderation, open tech, and trust.
meta doesn’t share those values, they’ve spent years doing the opposite.
they’re not “joining” fediverse. they’re trying to shape it in their image.
if we don’t push back, we’ll end up with the same algorithmic garbage we came here to escape.
this isn’t gatekeeping. it’s protecting something rare.

This article is published on a website which is powered by BDServer. And I'm trying to make this website support ActivityPub, so you could for example, subscribe to me from your Mastodon account. Yet it is easier said than done.
If you have any experience with ActivityPub, web-development or Python, please consider helping me. We have BDServ...

It's very interesting, as a lay person considering hosting an activity-pub based server and allowing open sign-ups, it felt to me like they were trying to hedge against the fact that once something's published online, especially via a federated publishing network, the publisher doesn't have a legally meaningful (to my mind, but I am not a judge) mechanism to reliably unpublished it from the internet. As I read it, they seemed to be asking the user to agree that all parties understood and accepted this.
I could be wrong, of course, and I'm sure the author of your link would say I am (under their subheading "What about federation?" where they seem to think what I describe is handled implicitly, and that's fine for all parties), but nevertheless it's food for thought for me, in how I might compose/adjust a ToS agreement. Thank you for sharing it.

Though it dates from a couple years back, on #SocialHub can be found the 3-part webinar #ActivityPub for Administrations organized specifically for a target audience in #government.

New Look, Faster Blocks in WordPress ActivityPub 6.0.0. #WordPress #ActivityPub
Posted into THE FEDIVERSE VS. CORPORATE SOCIAL MEDIA @the-fediverse-vs-corporate-social-media-mobileatom
Quite a few have blocked #Threads. See #FediPact, though I don't know if the list is still actively maintained and up-to-date.
Other than that #Meta has taken strategic position on the #ActivityPub #Fediverse, and effectively hold the cards. Opinions vary on this.
In any case building it was a big success for them. Built on a dime on top of #Instagram stack, see:

I'd say they are ready to pounce but ONLY if needed.
Hello World!
I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).
I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .
I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.
What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?
I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.
I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

@jeff @TheAdmin can u please assist w my concern re #threads access to our postings & #fediverse per this update #Threads is largest app to adopt #ActivityPub, protocol powering the fediverse, worrying some that Meta will take over decentralized, open source social network made up of interconnected servers. Though Threads isn’t yet full integrated, already some #Mastodon server operators have preemptively #blocked Threads, so their users can’t interact w Meta-run social network and vice versa.
@system76 here is the obligatory request for you to also post/mirror these videos and podcasts on an open platform like #peertube at some point.
It allows us to avoid the silos/evilcorps and says alot about an Organizations intentions.
Plus, it allows us to engage, comment, follow directly from the #fediverse thanks to #activitypub

Ho avuto accesso a @surf e inizio a esplorare le funzionalità. Primo motivo positivo la possibilità di collegare il blog che ho su @ghost tramite il protocollo #activitypub @giovanni

This is great, really love it. I recently overhauled the #Fediverse Experience curated list, with a different taxonomy to highlight more innovative #ActivityPub areas other than those where adoption is already going strong.
The #OpenScience section still has disappointing few entries, so I am delighted to add @encyclia as newcomer.
