Faffing around with the Test2::Suite #SoftwareTesting framework (successor to Test::More) that’s been included in #Perl v5.40 for almost a year (https://perldoc.perl.org/Test2::Suite), plus DBD::Mock (https://metacpan.org/pod/DBD::Mock) and Dario Roa’s #Codye code screenshot tool (https://darioroa.com/codye/)

The latter is good for embedding code snippets to #SocialMedia and #microblogs like #Mastodon.

They don’t *have* to be as decorative like the attached example, of course…

@linuxiac RSS has been in decline for the last few years. I would even say that RSS has been in decline for the last decade. RSS is slowly being replaced with microblogs.

Twitter alternative Post News is shutting down

Post News, a Twitter alternative run by the former Waze CEO Noam Bardin, is shutting down. Bardin says the platform “is not growing fast enough.”

We're in #microblogs. And #blogging platforms like #WordPress already lets people control their comment section. #Facebook lets you delete comments in your posts and control who can comment. And IIRC #Twitter had this feature at one point too, idk if it still has it now that #ElonMusk took over

There's zero reason why the rest of the
#fediverse shouldn't adopt this too. Compatibility and federation be damned, I just want the canonical page containing my post to look how I want it to. I don't care about people talking behind my back, they aren't worth engaging anyway.

Moderators like me can have some control over replies in our posts since we can delete them from our instances for any reason, but it's not realistic to expect everyone to run their own instances and deal with administration every day. Regular users should be able to delete other people's replies under their top-level post too!

The #fediverse (this includes #Misskey, #Pleroma, #Peertube and yes, even #Mastodon) desperately needs a feature where either a poster can disable #comments for their post, or a feature that says you can only comment on the first post in a thread and not allow people to jump-in in the middle. I know it's impossible to do, and that it would effectively break social networking in general but holy fucking shit! I'm in a #thread with the amazing @[email protected] and the behavior of someone just chiming in and #mansplaining something they clearly don't have all the facts about is incredible. I can only imagine the volume of this happening to every woman on the Fediverse, and dare I say I've probably been guilty of the same behavior myself. But the #trolling and even #sealioning is ... just wow. I don't have any words. So yeah, I think there definitely needs to be a change to the #ActivityPub specification where a poster can say, "No comments are allowed for this post". Still doesn't stop somebody from quoting the post and adding their comments, and honestly I think that's fine.

The @pixelfed profile of my old, little (but pretty inactive) #musicblog @ExUndHop does now have the #portfolio functionality enabled.

(So at least there will be some #photos and #microblogs of #concerts every little now and then)

Introduction to ActivityPub

ActivityPub is a standard that allows different web applications to interact so that users can pool their information & collaborate across instances (websites, applications), even ones running different software.

The ActivityPub protocol is already implemented in a significant range of projects, including microblogging platforms like Mastodon ...

#ActivityPub #Mastodon #microblogs

@rysiek so, is Mastodon a part of the #threadiverse, and if not, what is it's segment, the #postiverse, just #microblogs. What should we call it? Guess Calckey is also in that segement.

One should always note that the above picture is a design choice by the FediVerse Server developers. It could be different. So stating there is one true picture can be confusing.

A good analogy might be clothing. There is nothing stopping you wearing sweats to a black tie event, it just might be suboptimal. Similarly, with FediVerse software, they all work together, but some combinations might be suboptimal.
