Many thanks to @liaizon for organizing the first Federated Network Exploration Circle in Berlin last night! And also to @offline for hosting it!
I enjoyed all the presentations and discussions, and I'm also very happy about the positive reception of our Accounts app. Please follow @kosmos if you're interested in that, and/or subscribe to the Releases RSS feed here:
hey come to @offline in #berlin on sunday for a fediverse flavored discussion and hangout!
I will do a quick summary of anarchist social media on fedi, others will talk philosophy around terminology and will show off some RSS and hosting technologies.
"This is a warmly ‘beginners welcome’ space open to anyone without the assumption of any prior knowledge."
Sora is spoken by around 300,000 speakers in Nepal and Sikkim. The Sora Sompeng script is about 90 years old, created as a cultural alternative to Odia/Telugu, but it's use is not widespread.
@liaizon@iamlayer8 The thing is, what qualifies as a response worthy of a notification?
I'd argue that at minimum Mastodon could notify you if you receive responses to reply chains you've commented in. That would go a long way towards reducing mention spam.
Mastodon doesn't really store a context that can be referred against, though it is of course possible.
ActivityPub supports the context property, which the forum working group is hoping to support.
FWIW NodeBB already supports topic notifications, because we build our own context. If @liaizon or anyone else I follow replies to your post, I'll still be notified, even if I am not mentioned!
Tomorrow, NYC cops scraping with Sam Lavigne, https://www.screenwalks.com
> Drawing on Lavigne's practice of "scrapism" (the use of web scraping for artistic and political ends), the tour will begin with an attempt to scrape the faces of every single cop in New York City from a variety of websites.
Today is the anniversary of the MOVE bombing. The only thing that’s changed is police are far more militarized, far more funded, and far less accountable, while their supporters fly a desecrated flag to explicitly endorse their violent attacks.
This morning there was an interesting presentation at #lgm about using new typographic ligatures to make written language more gender-neutral. Great ideas with graphically interesting solutions. Thanks to the "Bye Bye Binary"-collective. https://typotheque.genderfluid.space/
Many people were struck by this photograph that we circulated during today's protests against the deforestation that Elon Musk's Tesla plant is inflicting outside Berlin. Some even say that it seems like a sort of metaphor.
As partisans of neutral journalism, we believe that it is important to give both parties the opportunity to tell their side of the story.

Reports that a #Belgium TV channel interrupted #Eurovision with a message about Israel’s genocide and repression of the free press.
“This is a union action. We condemn the human rights violations committed by Israel. Additionally, Israel is destroying press freedom. That is why we are pausing the broadcast for a moment. #CeaseFireNow#StopGenocide"
Thousands of demonstrators, including climate activist @gretathunberg have gathered in the Swedish city of Malmö to protest against Israel's participation in Eurovision. Thunberg told the BBC there was a "moral obligation to act" and speak out against Israel's military operation in Gaza. "It's not true that the Eurovision is not political, it has always been political, and it will always be," said another protestor, Matilda Varatta, who told Reuters that she would like to see Israel disqualified as Russia was in 2022. Tonight sees the song contest's second semi-final, in which Israel's Eden Golan is performing. The final will take place on Saturday May 11.
