Google's own researchers now say AI is a top vector of disinfo, in a paper that severely and obviously undercounts the problem

Just wanted to say happy 21st anniversary to #WordPress. 🎉

It’s provided a solid means to earn a living plus I have enjoyed connections from one of the better communities on the web. It has and will continue to face challenges, but it’s been a survivor and continues to be an example of a long time champion of the web.

The 2024 edition of the FediVision Song Contest — featuring an all-time high 72 entries — has concluded. And while my entry, “Open Your Eyes,” did not place in the top 10, the songs that did were very much worthy of the honor.

This year’s champion is Keef Marshall, who records as Key 13. His song, “Misaligned Ardvarks,” received 50 of the 911 votes submitted by account holders in the fediverse, a network of federated servers that are used to communicate with each other, share messages, music and more.

The top 10 finishers were announced today by FediVision organizers, who added that a more expansive write-up is coming soon (check back here for a link to that when it becomes available).

Here are the top three vote-getters in this year’s FediVision Song Contest.

Why new #CSS features aren't getting fast adoption as one might think.

"While there are many different reasons for the slow adoption, I think one of the biggest barriers are our own brains."

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 70

An interesting news week, that fits Newsmast’s description of the fediverse as a hub for the social web: the trend for the fediverse is clearly in the direction of how other products and platforms can be connected together in order to form a larger network.

The News

Digiday writes “why publishers are preparing to federate their sites“, and in the article they break the news that both The Verge and 404 Media “are building out new functions that would allow them to distribute posts on their sites and on federated platforms – like Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky – at the same time. Replies to those posts on those platforms become comments on their sites.” The Verge has been interested in the fediverse for a while now, and 404 Media are also active users. Both sites are very aware of the risks that come from depending on Big Tech platforms for reaching their audience, and are looking to secure that connection without an intermediary. The Verge has been working on switching to using WordPress, but it is not clear if they will be using the current ActivityPub plugin or are developing their own solution. The Verge’s editor-in-chief Nilay Patel said in response to Ghost’s announcement earlier this month that The Verge is also interested in having paid newsletters that connect to the fediverse. The interest of 404 Media to connect to the fediverse is directly linked to Ghost as well, as their site runs on Ghost.

Newsmast has posted an update on how the fediverse can be “a hub for the social web”, and how Newsmast can play a role in that. Newsmast is focused on bridging, and how connections between differnet platforms, products and protocols can all be connected to form a larger social web, in which the fediverse can function as a central hub. As a first step, the communities on Newsmast now start featuring posts by people on Bluesky and Threads as well.

Openvibe is a social media client that supports both Nostr and Mastodon. The client was originally for Nostr, but now fully supports Mastodon, and is working on adding support for Bluesky next. What stands out about the way Openvibe supports multiple networks is that Openvibe tries to integrate multiple platforms into a single experience. This means that you can have a single timeline on your homescreen that combines both posts from Nostr and Mastodon. Posting also allows you to easily post to both networks at the same time. There have been clients that allow you to connect multiple accounts before, but Openvibe’s vision of integrating different networks into a single feed represents a new steps towards how the different decentralised social networks relate to each other.

Another update by Bridgy Fed on improvements towards the bridge between the fediverse and Bluesky. Last week the news got picked up that the bridge was used to spam Bluesky with pro-Trump messages that originated from Nostr, and Bridgy Fed is now working on implementing spam filters.

Bart Decrem, co-founder of Mastodon app Mammoth, offers a 10k USD seed funding for anyone to build a DeviantArt alternative on top of ActivityPub. This comes after a recent article by Slate about “The Tragic Downfall of the Internet’s Art Gallery”, explaining how bots with AI generated content have overrun the revenue-sharing programs of the platform. Decrem focuses on the community aspect of DeviantArt, saying that “the critical thing here is to truly understand what DA is/was all about, what this community needs”.

Google doesn't seem to realize that its AI "search" isn't just comically wrong on occasion. It's a reputation killer.

Nice: #Fairphone has won the Koning Willem I Prize.

In 2013, Fairphone launched with a bold idea: products can be made with fairness and positive impact at their core. And despite all the naysayers and cynicism, our community has steadily grown from 25,000 to more than 600,000 customers today.

I see more and more people with a Fairphone, which is a very good thing. These phones are meant to last for years and years, and keep getting updates for years and years. And they're built with as much recycled stuff as possible.

https://shop.fairphone.com/about-us

Not sure why they're only active on the well-known parasitic, commercial platforms and not on the #Fediverse.

The amazing thing about Threads is that it 100% rewards rage bait.

The only way to get engagement there is to inflame the algorithm.

I have a tiny audience, but over 100 replies from people who are (justifiably) decrying my poll.
