Last Notes npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 For the #ActivityPubAPI, we need a profile of OAuth to use for accessing the actor's data.

That's the best choice for any organization. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 I'm looking forward to the #Fediforum "Growing the Open Social Web" workshop on Monday. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 So, one thing I said at #FediMTL yesterday is that Fediverse software should ship with the IFTAS DNI list as the default, minimum blocklist. Ideally, the list should periodically auto-update. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…7j8f so, now it's time for *me* to put *you* on the spot. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…dfcs it's crazy how many corporate vanity TLDs there are in there. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…834j @nprofile…nptm Are you guys even on the same Fediverse as I am? npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 There are only a few hours left to submit a proposal to the NLNet Open Social Fund. It's an easy proposal process! npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 https://m.f-h.co/cosocial-ca/media_attachments/files/115/990/918/643/404/075/original/46f2d259f6e3e276.jpg npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 If someone tells you that your content is unwelcome, block them so they don't have to see your content again. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…834j @nprofile…rv2y @nprofile…9uze task forces continue. We'll use a staging process; most work will continue in the CG. There was a great session in the last CG meeting about this. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 I worked at Microsoft in the 1990s. One of our customers was Pacific Bell, the local telephone company. Dilbert author Scott Adams still worked at PacBell at the time, although he was rarely there. His mostly unused cubicle was in the same area that my contacts there worked, and it was a big ritual to bring newcomers to see his desk. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…twh5 did you listen to the podcast episode? npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Military action against a sovereign state is illegal under the UN charter. There are two exceptions: self-defense, and UN Security Council approval. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…fm90 just shared https://socialdocs.org/ on the SocialCG mailing list. It looks like a great resource for ActivityPub info. I see a few mistakes, but in general it seems to be pointing in the right direction. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Everyone seems to agree that getting your news from social networks is a bad idea. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…tveu What do you want as an answer? An explanation of the fact that not all social network platforms are connected with open standards yet? npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…tveu what? npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 ActivityPub is worth fighting for. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Here are my 2026 social web predictions: npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…6zuf npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Practicing European seasonal tree magic npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…pz2f nice! npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Today, we went to Parc Lahaie and bought a Christmas tree. I made us fondue au fromage, and then we watched Guerre des Tuques together. It was a good winter's day in Montreal. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…p6ac friend, does this story, with an AI-generated photo and no link, hold up to your media quality sniff test? npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…glz5 I'm not a fan of the multi-stack approach. It's too much effort for developers. They should develop for the open social networking standard. That's why we make standards. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…glz5 @nprofile…rqt8 I think they can both bridge through AP? I haven't tried it but I can't see why not. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…glz5 @nprofile…qku7 no, but I can say we have multiple bridges with Nostr and one with Bluesky. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…glz5 @nprofile…qku7 we have bridges for each. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Friends, I will be speaking tomorrow at #WebSocialBR, the open social web event in Brasilia. I'm so honored to be part of this exciting movement in Brazil, a country that is leading the way in digital rights. My talk will be in English, with simultaneous translation into Portuguese. Please join! #fediverse #socialweb npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 I have a question for #ActivityPub fanatics. For the Social Web Devroom at FOSDEM 2026, we've reached out to over 50 different Fediverse projects to make sure they know about the event. Is there anyone else we need to reach? If you know someone working on Fediverse software development OR organisational and social issues, please share this call-for-proposals link. Our deadline is Dec 1, 2025 and we don't want to miss any part of this movement. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…rqt8 brings up an important point. I don't know of a lot of Fediverse developers who have received grants from the Canadian government. I built pumpio.org almost entirely with SR&D credits for StatusNet. That's the best example I can think of. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Hey, all. I need to find some examples of small (like, Raspberry-Pi-small) Fediverse instances that shut down because the traffic was too much for them. Do you know of any examples? Blog posts or other URLs with explanations would be helpful. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Oh, hey, it's @nprofile…u3j5 's birthday! Happy b-day Leo! npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 It's wild that someone at X was like, let's doxx every single person on our service, whatever metadata we got, let it all hang out, lfg, and the rest of the team just nodded their heads eagerly and started vibe coding that shit with Grok absolutely immediately npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…998y hooray! Where is this show? npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…s67t @nprofile…xxyv great name! npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 YES IT WORKS #CANADA #QUEBEC #WEEOOOWEEOOOWEEOOO npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…mel7 @nprofile…5es3 @nprofile…s0el Propaganda. Western media has been portraying Palestinian people as irrational, bloodthirsty terrorists since at least the 1970s. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 I really like the AP logo. I didn't realize until recently that it is a stylized "A" leaning on a stylized "P". npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…6ljh the one I like is to cuss them out, out loud, while I block them. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Nobody is going to save us. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…s67t he's the president and it is a recognized state in both France and Canada npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…s67t @nprofile…gadd it is not! When you load someone's profile for the first time, it may pull up any existing posts by that person that are already on your server, but usually, it shows their timeline as empty. That information is available on the user's own server; Mastodon just needs to reach out and get it. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…s67t @nprofile…gadd Let's hope that loading an actor's `outbox` to show their existing posts is next! 🤞🏼 npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…gadd better late than never! I am so glad to see this bug finally fixed, and I hope it presages future use of the full feature set of ActivityPub. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 In a few hours, I'll be giving the keynote intro at SeaGL, "Free the Social Web". If you're not in Seattle, you can attend remotely: npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…998y They should move out of New York in protest. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…s67t it's on my bucket list! npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 #ActivityInThePub pub emergency! 🚨🚨🚨 The Vieux Dublin pub is closed!

It seems strange to even have a people be something you are for or against; like saying you are pro-Italian or pro-Zulu. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 I am finding hope in Zohran Mamdani's candidacy and likely victory in the New York mayoral race. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 On the one hand, Americans' healthcare is going to become completely unaffordable. On the other hand, millions of Americans won't be able to pay for food. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Zohran's "Shadows" speech really moved me. I hope it is a watershed moment for the immigrant experience in America. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 At the @nprofile…998y reading at #DrawnAndQuarterly in #Montreal with @nprofile…l02t npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 One of the big topics at our #NoTyrants protest in #Montreal was House Bill 5518. If like me, you've never heard of it, it's a US bill to negotiate cross-border law enforcement with Canada, including sending ICE agents and other US personnel across the Canadian border. If you're Canadian, please insist to your MP that we can't surrender our sovereignty and allow US law enforcement here. #HB5518 npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 One thing we have to start talking about is that there's no going back to the status quo ante. We have to start talking about the world that we want after. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 The #NoKings hashtag is a real pleasure to follow. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Our #NoTyrants / #NoKings event in #Montreal was great.

I didn't know about the boycott until afterwards. 🫤 It was great TV. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…naem My favourite Star Wars podcast, A More Civilized Age, skipped reviewing Andor season 2 because Disney+ is under a BDS boycott. It raised a lot of feelings for me about Star Wars, fascism, and the time we live in. I thought you might find their discussion interesting. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…t9gy @nprofile…h5lw what did you think? npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Mind-blowing fact from @nprofile…mpj6 during #fediforum : in an fundraising experiment, he was able to raise more donations for #Propublica on the Fediverse than on any other social channel. 🤯 npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 @nprofile…g56y I can also send you an invite code. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 #Fediforum will be on Oct 7 this year, the two year anniversary of the October 7 attacks and the two year milestone of the war in Gaza. It provides a good opportunity to have some difficult conversations about the social web. I'm going to initiate a session about the Two Years Since October 7 On The Fediverse. Fediforum is an unconference, so we make the schedule on the day itself.

This is nice advice, but I think we can do better. Because so many Mastodon users browse the "public feed", and respond to posts there, it's pretty common to get brusque or opinionated replies from complete strangers. What can we do in our UIs to gently remind repliers which posts they have a direct or indirect social connection with, and which are from strangers that they should probably be careful with replying to? npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 I don't want to be alarmist, but "troops occupying major cities" seems like the kind of milestone that we'll look back on and regret that we didn't stop. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 Who called it "microblogging" when "The Social Notework" was right there npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 OK there's no code but I thought of a name and I think that's the first step npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 My big achievement during my train ride from New York to Montreal was doing optimization on https://github.com/evanp/onepage.pub/ . I had some API calls for collections and collection pages that were taking 10+ seconds to complete. I got them down to O(100ms), which is a pretty great jump. The difference in using the platform as a ActivityPub API server is surprising. Much better! npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 I got a few minutes at #hope_16 to catch up with Harry Halpin, who probably more than anyone is responsible for the existence of social web standards from the W3C. npub150stez8ze3qauexuwrtx0tkkxuuvv022nv0lg3dsq6ejk9n6psestaz9xu Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸 #HOPE_16 NOC report was awesome.
