If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. http://aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost

@reiver I think a <blockquote> element could be used:How could you represent a quotation in ActivityPub‽A link to the original object could be added with FEP-e232.

🥦 From a young age we're taught to eat healthy. But when it comes to social media, most adults aren't eating their greens. Addicted to the fast food algorithms of platforms like X, Facebook, and TikTok, many of us are missing out on the genuine human connection that makes social media social. We hope we can help bring together communities on the Open Social Web, helping people find socially designed, healthier, social media. #SocialMedia #Fediverse #Mastodon #MentalHealth

Regarding the new #QuotePosts functionality for #Mastodon :Is it possible to use this for posts from #FediVerse systems other than Mastodon, or can it only be used for Mastodon posts which explicitly give permission to quote post them? #FediHelp

Original Article | Archive The acts of Israeli political and military leaders are attributable to the State of Israel. The Commission therefore concluded that the State of Israel bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide and the failure to punish the perpetrators of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Commission also concluded that Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, have incited the commission of genocide and that Israeli authorities have failed to take action against them to punish this incitement. The Commission has not fully assessed statements by other Israeli political and military leaders and considers that they too should be assessed to determine whether they constitute incitement to commit genocide. The Commission urges the Government of Israel to comply immediately with its international legal obligations, including to end the genocide in the Gaza Strip and fully implement the provisional measures orders of the International Court of Justice. Israel must end its policy of starvation, lift the siege and facilitate and ensure the unimpeded access of humanitarian aid at scale and unhindered access of all United Nations staff, including UNRWA and OHCHR international staff, and all recognized international humanitarian agencies delivering and coordinating aid. The Commission calls on Israel to immediately end the activities of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The Commission recommended that Member States cease the transfer of arms and other equipment that may be used for the commission of genocidal acts to Israel; ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; and take action on accountability through investigations and legal proceedings against individuals or corporations that are involved in the genocide directly or indirectly. “The international community cannot stay silent on the genocidal campaign launched by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza. When clear signs and evidence of genocide emerge, the absence of action to stop it amounts to complicity,” said Pillay. “Every day of inaction costs lives and erodes the credibility of the international community. All States are under a legal obligation to use all means that are reasonably available to them to stop the genocide in Gaza,” she added.

It’s a bit of a headache tbh. I may raise a support thread on nodeBB and see if there is a solution. There does appear to be some issues with ActivityPub especially on the de-federation side. I have instances listed on there, but they are not being honoured, or simply the de-federation is not working. And some accounts, that I have ‘Deleted’ appear to come back. I have restarted nodeBB a couple of times this morning to see if that would fix it, but evidently not.

That time when Ken Dilanian lost connection with the studio but NOT the video feed.Afterwards he issued a public statement: “So sorry for the profanity I used on air last hour. I was experiencing some technical difficulties and mistakenly hung up on the control room, though my mic still was on. Perils of playing producer, cameraman and tech support all at the same time from home.”#KenDilanian #FBomb #Cussing #Funny #Humor #News #Pandemic #COVID

It is definitely something that I want to look into doing. There doesn’t appear to be anyway to filter out languages without de-federating. It would easier to do with some servers, but not others. Example: There are accounts on mstdn.ca that have posts in French, but I am aware that they would have some English speakers as well. This is the downside of using ActivityPub relays. You start following a lot of servers, but you have to do the filtering by hand. I have de-federated from a good amount of servers (75), but I may have to be stricter with some others. If there are any specific ones that should be de-federated, let me know. EDIT: OK, some things discovered tonight. I was clicking “Block User” on a profile, which turns out was only blocking the user for me and not for everyone. I have to “Delete Account” on a user to actually remove an individual account. (That should allow us to remove German/French accounts without de-federating the entire server) But then I have to do a soft restart of the forum for the changes to be pushed through. It’s a solution, but one that will have to be actively monitored.

Good to see you here Town Hall Theatre (Joking aside if anyone finds the THT Mastodon feed useful or would like to see changes just let me know)
