Your Site, Your Rules: Filtering Fediverse Activity
When running a WordPress site with the ActivityPub plugin, you're not just managing a website—you're also operating a node in the Fediverse. This means you need effective tools to block unwanted activities, users, servers, and content from other instances across the network. How Blocking Works in ActivityPub for WordPress The ActivityPub plugin takes a pragmatic approach to blocking unwanted content by building on WordPress’s existing “Disallowed Comment Keys” feature. While this […]https://activitypub.blog/2025/05/12/your-site-your-rules-filtering-fediverse-activity/

EU prepares to give new rights to live streaming sites, to the detriment of the Internet and its users
At the heart of Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) lies the dispiriting saga of how the EU Copyright Directive came into being. It began in early 2013 with the usual “stakeholder dialogue”, in which the European Commission sought the views of the various constituencies affected. It generated an unprecedentedly large response that was surprising given the dry and […]

Even small prefigurative practices lately in response to the surge of "AI" being used to further the worst parts of the internet - user tracking & commodification. Lately I have been finding a lot of these types of domains targeting users. Added them to my long-running public blocklist: https://github.com/RooneyMcNibNug/pihole-stuff/blob/master/SNAFU.txt
Feel free to use it. I "dogfood" to ensure of no breakage. I don't want anything in return, but additions to the blocklist, issue reports, etc. are all welcome
We need to compost the vertical or the fluffy nasty
One of the problems of the current left/progressive paths is intolerance and dogmatic nastiness. This historically come from the hard vertical left in the 20th century. In the 21st century, it is more from our "fluffy" #fashionista crew and their pushing of hard #blocking for the last 20 years. It's a mess we always need to compost from the vertical or the fluffy nasty, what would non-nasty communication look like? It's a real and persistent issue in left/progressive spaces - a cycle where […]https://hamishcampbell.com/we-need-to-compost-the-vertical-or-the-fluffy-nasty/

The Seagull Knows: Notes on a Constipated Discipline
The opening moment of the workshop on Methodological Strategies for Real-Life Theorising was unintentionally profound. A story of a seagull crieing above the glass façade of the Blavatnik School of Government - a building that stands as a temple to the #deathcult of the last 40 years of #neoliberal culture. In hindsight, that seagull metaphor may have been the wisest participant at the event.The sessions that followed offered a painful reminder of just how entrenched and constipated […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-seagull-knows-notes-on-a-constipated-discipline/
@debby @DroidPort personally, I think the "optics" of leaving the #Fediverse are more important and are seen as silent confirmation of valid criticism.
Cuz even if I'd be annoying the shit out of @protonprivacy (and I doubt that!) there are ample of tools for them like #muting and #blocking.
Messy language feeds back into our culture
The #blocking of current action, the constant stalls, confusion, and fragmentation, has a lot to do with the mess our language makes. And the deeper issue is how this messy language feeds back into our culture, which then loops back to make the language even murkier. It’s a feedback loop that clouds meaning, erodes trust, and paralyses collective action. The last 40 years of postmodernism and neo-liberalism have made this worse. #Postmodernism chipped away at the idea of shared reality, […]https://hamishcampbell.com/messy-language-feeds-back-into-our-culture/
One of my New Year's Resolutions has become a reality. I've drastically improved my block to engage ratio (although I still slip up from time to time). Took me this long to realize that there's no point in engaging with people who are sour, predisposed to hate me, or completely failing to understand basic shit. But, hey, better late than never! And it turns out I can stick up for myself BETTER this way. Because I have nothing to prove to these jackanapes. Ha!

The current #blocking is it's way too hard to home host - to fix this we might need a law to force #IPS to make this #KISS so if we can't come up with a native geek solution we need a political one.
Then we have the problem of mobile SIM based devices not being on the internet due to being proxied through mobile networks - what path is best for this?
Finally, people feeling trapped on the #dotcons, but this might natural be changing a bit with the current #openweb #reboot?
More?
