#fediverse
Dankzij @sander van @waag is de #fediverse ook aanwezig op de conferentie van de Vereniging van Onderzoeksjournalisten #vvoj in Leuven
Wir freuen uns heute von aktuellen Veröffentlichungen zu erfahren, die zeigen, dass das #Fediverse in der deutschsprachigen #Politikberatung langsam den ihm gebührenden Platz findet:

Beides sind wichtige Publikationen und wir wünschen Ihnen, dass ihre klaren Analysen vom Versagen der sich als sozial bezeichnenden Medien und ihre Vorschläge für #ActivityPub-basierte Alternativen wie #Mastodon und #PeerTube möglichst bald umgesetzt werden.
Vielen Dank an die Autoren für die gute Arbeit.
Our democratic public sphere needs open networks!
Together with @offene_netzwerke we demand that public money be invested into Free Software and in open, decentralised infrastructures.
Read our demands (en/de/fr), published this week:

Just a quick note that sign-ups for video verification interviews have now reopened on Gaza Verified.
The first calls will be scheduled for Monday, next week (November 17th) onwards.

@M4x @bonfire Bonfire itself is not a social network, but a toolkit for building social networks. You can build *your* network to do anything you like, and it doesn't have to be like Mastodon if you don't want it to.
If I understand the intent, Bonfire will play nice with other #Fediverse places. So, more diversity and more resistance to corporate extraction of our private data and public spaces.
Personally, I'm very much looking forward to perhaps creating my own emoji-only social network 😁
OK - despite the fact that #money is *pretty* tight right now, I did a pledgey thing. I don't do pledgey things very often... I think the last thing I pledged was the #Pebble watch. Which I loved, and so did lots of other folks. So, this means I have incredible taste, and you should definitely do a pledgey thing too. Put your #fediverse millions into @bonfire c/o their Indiepledgey place... here

⁂ Article
Release v3.2.0 of Ktistec
The major feature in v3.2.0 of Ktistec is thread analysis. The previous release, v3.1.2, added support for viewing threads from Lemmy communities. I follow the Open Source community, which leads to many large threads. The thread on FFMpeg and Google has 112 posts and is still growing.
Thread analysis helps me navigate these extensive conversations. It includes: top contributors, a timeline histogram, and notable branches.
The analysis applies several heuristics to identify interesting branches of the main thread. “Interesting” is subjective, but the algorithm currently looks for sudden bursts of activity and highlights those areas. Ktistec uses this to create a table of contents that links directly to those branches. Clicking on one of these links takes you to a branch-only view that focuses on the selected part of the thread.
It's fast—I anticipated needing to cache analyses, but analyzing a thread with over 400 posts takes only about 50 milliseconds on my production server.
Figure 1: Screenshot of the final design. Notable branches link to subsets of the thread.This release also addresses an object visibility regression that was introduced in a previous version.

One thing I really enjoy here is what I think of as the fedi-follow-dance.
I see post I love. Boost the post. Go to the person's profile, find other posts I love, favorite those posts.
Follow the person.
Then I see in my feed:
⭐ Person favorited:
⭐ Person favorited:

@toychicken @bonfire What can Bonfire do what Mastodon can't?
And if you're into Pebbles, you can get new once too: https://store.repebble.com/

Murphy's Law: one week before WordCamp Pisa, my ActivityPub decides to stop working. Thankfully I have no demo but just to talk.
In few words, articles get published very slowly - I must wait several seconds or minutes for them to be published - but they don't federate. All happening since ActivityPub 7.6.x. No other changes.
Deactivated all plugins and problem persists. Before calling hosting provider's assistance I just would like to know what to try next.
As caching plugin, used Wp-Optimize.
