Notices by Evan Prodromou (evan@cosocial.ca)

Here are the top data services I'd love to see come to the fediverse next year:

- OpenLibrary. https://openlibrary.org/ . A great collection of books, movies, audio, other.
- OpenStreetMap. https://www.openstreetmap.org/ We need a good `Place` vocabulary, and OSM has a great one.
- MusicBrainz. https://musicbrainz.org/ A great way to represent `Audio` objects cross-service. The best music encyclopedia on the planet.
- Wikidata. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Main_Page For, well, everything else.

Nor this

```
curl -v "https://www.threads.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:zuck@threads.net"
```

This doesn't work yet

```
curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/C0zXcQmxO77
```

I've been probing to see if I can discover what #ActivityPub support Threads has available. If you find something, please let me know. I'm interested in testing this.

Neither of these are required; I'm just trying to figure out how to tell when these tests start.

Close Guantanamo.

Identi.ca opened up 15 years ago today.

I also strongly support people who want to control who has access to their stuff, and don't want their own instances to federate with commercial services or proprietary software services. That's why we use open standards and open source software; so everyone has that level of control.

As one of the signers of the Franklin Street Statement, I strongly support people using Free and Open Source Software for their social networking.

My friends and colleagues @mlinksva and @cwebber and others at Creative Commons worked on an RDF vocabulary for Creative Commons licenses.

https://creativecommons.org/ns

We should probably work on having better support for that vocabulary in ActivityPub servers, and figure out what finer-grained permissions there are.

Contrary to using Twitter or Facebook, you didn't agree to an End User License Agreement for the social web. Your rights here should be pretty broad.

Interesting results! I am a "strongly agree".

All software that is going to federate should support ActivityPub. It is the standard for social network federation.

All social software should federate.

There were some concerns that posts by people on their own servers would be used for advertisement, abused, indexed, datamined, etc. by commercial services connected to the social web.

That would be bad. You should have control over that. Granting a person on a server the right to read or view your posts should not grant that server's operator a right to use your content for whatever they want.

We should have better support in ActivityPub for saying what you do or don't permit with your stuff.

There were some replies that were reluctant to have commercial services on the social web.

I say, if those services are going to be around anyway, they should be federated, not siloed.

I will always support the choice of individuals and communities to control who they interact with on the social web and how.

Everyone deserves to be safe and feel safe on the fediverse. That is absolute, fundamental and non-negotiable.

Fifteen years ago tomorrow I published the first post on the fediverse.

It's still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that. 🫤

Thanks to everyone who made identi.ca a great place to be, and thanks to everyone who's expanded the fediverse since then.

Someday soon-ish I'd like to have identi.ca working with ActivityPub. When I get the time for it!

This protocol was made by trans people and this culture was built by trans people.

If you love the #fediverse, thank your #trans friends, colleagues and allies today.

I just protected my Twitter account. I was thinking about trimming down my follow count there, and I'm having a real Caliph Omar moment.

Twitter users who have Mastodon handles in their bios are already followed on Mastodon, so I don't *need* to follow them.

Twitter users who *don't* have Mastodon handles in their bios by this point are terrible people, and I don't *want* to follow them.

I think I should unfollow everybody.
