Welcome a to #fediverse

♲ @[email protected]:So, fun little story about #joindiaspora, and maybe #diaspora in general.

I get a lot of takedown requests from Russia's "Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media", aka Roskomnadzor. As it turns out, there's a lot of content hosted on Geraspora that.. they really don't like for some reason. Weird. My usual response to those emails (or sometimes even letters!!) is to ... laugh and delete them. Unless something is violating German law, I give exactly zero fucks about their requests. They've sent me fun messages about bloking my entire infrastructure multiple times, and I know they even did a couple of times (but then removed it again, for whatever weird reason).

Anyway.

Today, I (as the person currently technically hosting JoinDiaspora), got another one of those fun messages, but this time about an image on JoinDiaspora instead of Geraspora. I've pasted the full message below in case you're curios how that looks like. It's worth noting that clearly, some Russian Agent did this whole thing by hand: The post isn't even there anymore, and the email addresses they sent the message to were not easy to discover: They sent an email to my business address that is listed in the domain's SOA record, to my private email address that's only listed on my website, and to the [email protected] alias. You don't find those addresses automatically, you have to dig for them.

Unfortunately, this time, I actually found that the image in question was also violating German federal law. As a "service provider", this puts me in a difficult legal position: I'm generally not liable for user-generated content, but I become liable if I become aware of illegal content and don't act on it. In this case, the potential consequence could be a prison sentence between six months and five years. So I had to delete the image and notify the user (who, unfortunately, doesn't know about this since their email address bounced).

But instead of just deleting the image file and/or the post, ... why not leave them a little message instead?

I'm sure Roskomnadzor will appreciate us saying hello when they eventually check back to see if the image is still up. :) Направляется уведомление о внесении в «Единый реестр доменных имен, указателей страниц сайтов в сети «Интернет» и сетевых адресов, позволяющих идентифицировать сайты в сети «Интернет», содержащие информацию, распространение которой в Российской Федерации запрещено» следующего(их) указателя (указателей) страницы (страниц) сайта в сети «Интернет»: joindiaspora.com/uploads/image… .

Socialhome.Network as a searchable federation archive

The Socialhome node socialhome.network/ is both widely federated AND searchable by non-members. It displays both posts AND profile pages even to non-members, which is NOT the case for Diaspora* pods.

If you're looking for specific content from a now-defunct pod, Socialhome may be able to turn that up for you.

You can search for a specific profile by the its handle, e.g., [email protected] or [email protected], for my present and now-defunct Joindiaspora profiles, using the site's Search feature.

My (now-offline at origin) Joindiaspora profile appears as:

socialhome.network/p/702b2f0c-…

Note that the profile GUID is NOT the same as it would be for my Joindiaspora profle itself (`d8210c0de509264f``). The Diaspora* GUID can be used to construct a URL visible from the Diaspora* Pod you have an account on and are logged in to, but not as a globally-viewable third-party-accessible URL. Socialhome solves this problem.

That is, if you are on Glasswings, this URL links to my Joindiaspora profile:

diaspora.glasswings.com/people…

But if you're not, it won't. Glasswings users might try a different pod such as Diasp.org:

diasp.org/people/d8210c0de5092…

Instead, third-party visitors are presented with a log-in / registration page. Socialhome solves this problem specifically.

There may be additional features / API apparent at the Socialhome GitLab repo: git.feneas.org/socialhome/soci…

Noting that that is a FENEAS URL, also likely to go offline in the near future, GitHub:

github.com/jaywink/socialhome

Limitations

The downsides to Socialhome seem to be that:

• References to content and profiles does not follow Diaspora*-assigned GUIDs. That is, there's no automated way to refernece a specific post or profile.
• I'm not seeing an obvious way of exposing a JSON abstract of posts or profiles --- the Diaspora* trick of appending .json to the end of a URL does not work, and I'm not seeing a JSON abstract in the raw HTML. There may still be an API.

Photos are displayed but appear to be served from the original host, not separately federated. Once the origin host goes offline, photo links / embeds will be broken.

It's not clear how widely or deeply content is federated, though some should be better than none. This option was brought to my attention by @isaackuo in comments here.
