an example to show it in action, notice the á near the end of the username

I recently discovered to my surprise that Co-Star allows unicode in their @usernames and this is the first network I have seen that has this support. I have been complaining about the fediverse lack of unicode support in usernames for a long time now and its interesting to see centralized projects get to this milestone first. Though its probably much easier to get this to work right in a centralized environment.

just scored a 3d printer off the side of the road!

I was interviewed on @thefinalstrawradio podcast this week about the #fediverse :fediverse: and autonomy and stuff... If you want to listen to me ramble and say um a lot for an hour give it a listen!

@gamer the problem with this analogy is that people sorta hate email

while listening to "the dawn of everything" they mentioned Poverty Point in Louisiana which I had never heard of. Turns out its a UNESCO world heritage site of an unknown civilization from almost 4000 years ago!

#Mastodon was just mentioned in Slate https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/donald-trump-true-social-launch-problems.html

"'the platform is basically just a fork of Mastodon, the open-access software that allows users to make spinoff social media networks. Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko has said that he will be seeking legal counsel"

Washington Examiner
“Mastodon, and the open-source social network software company may be gearing up to sue”

There is an ActivityPub/Fediverse plugin for Drupal by @swentel
It could enable lots of older projects to become part of the fediverse if installed. I would love to see some local libraries use it.

#ActivityPub for Drupal:

Issue tracker:

#Mastodon is in the process of adding post editing (with history) as opposed to delete and redraft, which causes many issues https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/16697 #fedidev #mastodev #fediverse

I just finished reading this massive thread about standardizing “groups” on the #fediverse and how we want them to work in the future: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/pixelfed-groups/1984/36

:fediverse:

The thread is a massive discussion between @humanetech @dansup @sl007 @mike @heluecht @grishka @nightpool @tchambers @yala @weex

I tagged them here in case others who do not partake in the socialhub forum have followup questions or concerns regarding the shaping of the fediverse, as this is a participatory space!

A freshly redesigned interface was just announced for #GnuSocial! The #fediverse’s oldest project is alive and kicking!
