Tried to send a message to the IETF's #WebFinger mailing list with some feedback from @feditest. Tried three different sender e-mail addresses. None of them went through. Not sure what else to try.
@J12t It might also help to create an account at https://datatracker.ietf.org. Let me know if you continue to have problems and I’ll escalate it to the tools team.
The comments system on @theverge_com wants to follow, unfollow, mute and block accounts for me, change my profile, create and delete Tweets and a gazillion other things? If I were to authenticate with Twitter there?
Making glazed citron from this recipe and the lemons in the front yard. I’m on the last day, trying to get it to 235deg F. Somehow (heh!) the temperature doesn’t want to rise above 212. I think I made some kind of scientific discovery /s
Duuhhhh … turns out the silly Bluetooth thermometer also has a 212F limit, and doesn’t indicate it!! So I’ve been burning my citron while waiting for it to get hotter!!
We need a better framework for how to think about online relationships between people, and between people and organizations/websites. Logged on/off from a authentication perspective and follow/block from a social media perspective are really not quite right and not at all complete.
We did a bit of work on this when I was on the board of what was still called the Me2B Alliance, and of course there is seminal work by Doc Searls in ProjectVRM, but much remains to be done. The social web needs it!
Compliments to The Guardian for polling #climate scientists recently and publishing their predictions that are so much scarier than the official ones.
But in spite of their coverage, the Guardian has a hard time accepting it themselves. At +2.7°C, they say, 2 billion people will be pushed out of the conditions that allow humanity to live. And at above +3°C, they say we will have “millions of refugees”. Ahem.
Hey @mikedev, because something related came up recently, checking in what exactly you are working on with respect to nomadic identity and Mastodon? Patches? Protocol? ...? Any place I can see something?
A perfect Northern California day today. Sun, quite warm, but not too warm yet, still mostly lush vegetation, and if you could see the mountains, there would still be snow. If you ever think of traveling to #California, I recommend May.
#Threads wants to be the best place where people have relevant, public, real-time conversations, and the #fediverse is the means by which people can find the audiences that are best for those conversations, because not all of them will be on Threads.
The fediverse is a compelling way for creators to own their audiences in a way they aren't able to own on other apps today.
Jack Dorsey interview post-#Bluesky. Whatever you think of him, his views on why he helped getting Bluesky started in the first place are interesting. I wonder which of those might apply to the Fediverse (which he doesn't mention at all).

Yet another amazing the-not-exploitative-alternative business opportunity.
