Release v3.2.3 of Ktistec

Release v3.2.3 of Ktistec includes two big features:

FEP-1b12 Group federation
Improved federation with Lemmy and other forum-type servers. Ktistec supports community and thread follow/unfollow, as well as up-vote/like (down-vote/dislike is supported but there is no visual affordance for that yet).
FEP-9098 Custom emojis
Support for viewing custom emoji in posts and on actor profiles. Ktistec does not yet support custom emoji creation and management.

The full changelog:

Added

Support for viewing custom emoji in posts and on actor profiles.
Actor type (Person, Group, etc.) overlay badges on actor panels.
Colored fallback avatars for actors without icons.
Support for robots.txt.

Fixed

Federation with Lemmy and other servers that support FEP-1b12.
- Shared inbox support for local actors.
- Serialization of Undo includes the undone activity.
- Serialization of Like and Dislike does not.
Notify only once for an object's first received activity.

Changed

Accumulate metrics by hour for finer granularity.
Clean up presentation of public followers/following pages.

The next release will include support for Mastodon polls (FEP-9967).

Hey everyone,

@aral and @joynewacc had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Rami sultan (@Rammyyyy)
• ISRAA In GAZA 🇵🇸🍉 (@israajamal)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

BT Free

At BT Free we're attempting to create a Non-Profit organization that can run social web (aka Fediverse) platforms to allow people that do not want to run their own software to still be able to take advantage of digital privacy. We are advocates for the social web and we will leverage out platform to easily and quickly on board people on to the social web. Finally we know we can not run all content, so we are willing to consult on helping individuals or businesses to set up their own platforms to help them come into the social web.

Last year I wrote "Fediverse for Freedom" https://andypiper.co.uk/2024/08/15/fediverse-for-freedom/ a post about why governments should own their own social presences, rather than rely on bad actors like the owner of X.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115689198997943088

I’m proud to share my first blog as @Mastodon’s Community Director. Well the first one posted under my name at least 😉

Digital social networking is one of the most important threads in the fabric of our societies. Right now, we’re letting that thread be controlled by social media platforms that let advertisements for scams stay up because they’re profitable, and that use their algorithms to run human research experiments on us without our consent. That’s not the society I want.

“By making the news and truth contingent on advertising budgets we’ve created an environment where any narrative can win, as long as the storyteller is willing to pay. If we allow these conditions to continue, we will leave behind the voices that truly matter; the people and their public institutions. It is critical that those voices not be silenced forever. The promise of the #fediverse is the promise of a better way forward: free from ads and manipulative algorithms built by and for people like you, where #SocialSovereignty is a right and not a privilege.”

In this thread, we asked folks to crowdsource a list of resources so you can find your local representative. Find them, contact them, and tell them this: if you care about a free and just future, and if you care about #DigitalSovereignty, you must leave X and join the fediverse.

Normal is the mess of walking around in a toxic story and calling this common sense

Forty years of hard indoctrination doesn’t just fade away. It has to be dug up, held in our hands, recognised for what it is, and composted. If we don’t do this, we have no hope - none - of moving away from the accelerating mess that’s already killing millions and is on track to kill billions. Hobbes’ “nasty, brutish and short” isn’t a warning anymore; it’s a weather report.

Mainstream thinking feels normal because we’ve lived inside it for a generation and a half. But […]
