Excited to share some great news from the #creative community! Oeee Cafe, a fantastic oekaki #drawing platform, just added #ActivityPub support today. This means all the amazing artwork being created there can now be shared and discovered across the #fediverse, which is such a wonderful step toward connecting creative communities.

Big shoutout to my friend @jihyeok for building this platform and bringing it to the fediverse. It's always inspiring to see developers creating spaces for artists and then opening them up to the broader federated community. If you're into digital art or just appreciate seeing creative work, definitely worth checking out what people are sharing from Oeee Cafe on your timeline now. You can find me there at @hongminhee if you want to connect!

@hongminhee@hollo.social@jihyeok@hongminhee@oeee.cafe ow wow that amazing, I was just looking at a #oakaki platform that added #atproto support recently, it's interesting to see those nieche communities finding the power of decentralization!

Now that they have private chats I assume those are excluded.

Ok, regarding #bluesky and #missisipi, #uk, #australia I think a great opportunity for age verification would be a company using something like @badgefed , where there only purpose is to do physical world credentials verification, and then emit a decentralized badge (18+ years old) and then companies can just use that badge to let them login.

I mean, if the badges are emitted to fediprofiles, they can even login with their accounts!

Dreaming awake I know.

I thought it didn't matter because it's decentralized, right? 😉

@rolle I mean, technically your data if you operate on your own PDS then you do have ownership of your data and it isn't blocked... however, because how AT Protocol works... Bluesky is pretty much the AppView which is what allows you to view your posts. So technically, if you wanted you could stand up your own AppView instance connected to your PDS. It would still let you interact with others on the AT Protocol. Granted, it does create other questions of will they block PDS's from connecting to their official relays if they are hosted in banned region.

Bluesky is blocking its service in Mississippi over a new age-assurance law. In order to comply with HB 1126, which requires platforms to introduce age verification for all users, the company would have to make substantial technical changes. Bluesky also had questions about the law's scope and privacy implications. Here's more from @Sarahp of @Techcrunch.

Social Web Conferences

https://reiver.codeberg.page/social-web-conferences/

I am working on creating a list of upcoming Social Web Conferences.

Using a broad definition of "Social Web" that includes the ActivityPub, AT-Protocol, ATmosphere, Bluesky, Farcaster, Fediverse, Matrix, and Nostr.

These are conferences that I might want to attend. (And, perhaps you may, too.)

Is there anything else I should add to this?
