MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Monday, 21-Jan-2019 06:49:09 UTC MMN-o ✅⃠ Yeah, GNU/FSF have never put any resources in to GNU social apart from maintaining the general !fs politics worldwide.
Originally Evan had startup grants, I just put in my free time (which I barely have any left nowadays) and @diogo got the gsoc stuff.
While I enjoy the !ostatus solution much more than ActivityPub maybr we should see what has been generated "outside" of !gnusocial .) Think of how many people have managed to find their way out on the !fediverse even if it's maybe not via GS specifically. But it's all AGPL .) -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Thursday, 10-Aug-2017 07:49:49 UTC MMN-o ✅⃠ Nu kommer en lång uppföljning på ett långt svar igen, @elsander .)
Det kan ju även nämnas att !OStatus (hur GNU social och Mastodon kommunicerar) bygger på samma datastruktur som vanliga prenumererbara nyhetsflöden (Atom mer specifikt, RSS är ju annars också vanligt). Så alla bloggar - vilket nog faktiskt _är_ alla - låter en prenumerera på vanliga bloggar.
Bloggar använder sig ju av pingbacks för att kommunicera sinsemellan - vilket åtminstone !GNUsocial har rudimentärt stöd för i alla fall. Samt att det är på g med den nya s.k. indieweb-standarden "WebMentions" vilket i princip ersätter pingbacks.
Min poäng är alltså: välj en bloggmjukvara som stöder de vanliga standarderna inom bloggvärlden så fungerar det redan idag som Mastodon och GNU social. Det enda som skiljer är användargränssnittet (pga mikroblogging och blogging generellt sett används på olika sätt i första början)
Vet ej vilken kunskap du har om webbsaker, så fråga om jag använder knasiga uttryck .) -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Sunday, 09-Jul-2017 09:23:20 UTC MMN-o ✅⃠ @Gargron The data in !OStatus travels with HTML representation. If you create the HTML representation in a way that puts <img/> tags where the image links are (you know, like blog posts) then it's shown correctly.
...except that microblogging sites like !GNUsocial tend to ignore <img/> tags because we haven't bothered matching them against the attachments and presenting them locally to avoid third party tracking...
My point is OStatus is perfectly fine to represent interspersed text and images (because it's HTML) and it's only up to the client to generate good HTML and the subscriber to trust it. Just use some sort of WYSIWYG, like Wordpress, to post your stuff and let PuSH/WebSub distribute it for you (or implement WYSIWYG editing in Mastodon for example).

MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Tuesday, 20-Jun-2017 06:23:10 UTC MMN-o ✅⃠ @elsander eller för den delen helt andra miljöer att publicera i, typ som https://quit.im/ - en bilddagbok som http://enkompiskompis.se/ driftar (bara en annan variant av !GNUsocial som använder !OStatus) -

MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Thursday, 11-May-2017 05:30:05 UTC MMN-o ✅⃠ @waha06x36 @Gargron <a href="https://some.example/tags/microformats" rel="tag">verbose microformats category tag</a>
»Tags are embedded in HTTP URIs in a well-defined manner so that the tag embedded in an HTTP URI can be mechanically extracted from that URI. Specifically, the last segment of the path portion of the URI (after the final "/" character) contains the tag value.» - http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag
There you go. !ostatus doesn't require it, but HTML generated by !gnusocial aims to honour #microformats2 since it's great and makes us part of the !indieweb community. -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Apr-2017 07:55:37 UTC MMN-o ✅⃠ @maloki No it wouldn't cause a lot of Federation issues necessarily. It could perhaps cause duplicates, but since #Atom has the "atom:updated" element then - just as with any feed reader - !OStatus implementations can see that it is updated.
However, it should only be possible to update atom:content and not mentions. Categories etc. is debatable.
Why we haven't implemented updates in !GNUsocial is mainly because we solve it the social way, by just saying "oops, made an error" or accept that we are not all perfect and thus can live with spelling errors etc. If it's something really, really bad we just delete the post.
Also, updates are not implemented because I work too much and if I did implement it, I'd want it to have a complete revision history - which would probably be cause enough for people who want to edit their post to choose "delete" instead anyway. ;) -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Thursday, 13-Apr-2017 12:55:39 UTC MMN-o ✅⃠ @pan Well, you're reasonably private if you use Tor and only want to protect your original identity. So you have a perfect privacy setup for leaking sensitive information in a broadcast fashion to subscribers since (afaik) all !ostatus federating instances allow Tor connections.
But no, neither !GNUsocial nor #Mastodon have any real privacy for hiding content.
There's always that question about which tool to use for what purpose: What's your threat model? -
