In gaming, it is common for spammers to report legit accounts if they echoed back their own spam. We suspend them first to minimize the spam, go back to review it, and issue warnings if needed.

It's the same in social media. Please refrain from echoing or "revenge spamming" a spammer. The spammers—and potentially non-spammers—will report you for spamming.

We then have to suspend your account to avoid further spams, and then go back later to review if you are indeed a spammer or engaging in "revenge spamming".

- It is a hassle for you.
- It will be stressful once you receive a suspension email.
- It is also increasing our workload.
- It will paint your instance/community as "bad" or lacking moderation.

The only ones enjoying it are the spammers. They know they'll get banned so they wreak havoc by confusing and stressing everyone.

---

I just so happen to be the type of moderator/GM in social media and the gaming industry who is reasonable, and takes the time to actually investigate. At least half in my line-of-work—voluntary or paid—are by-the-book. No investigation. If there's evidence = ban hammer. Forget the context.

So, please do not engage in "revenge spamming". Report the spammers and add them to your ignore list. We will get to your reports as soon as possible and suspend their accounts.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

---

I believe I can say this is on behalf of all modertaors, admins, GMs, employees, and volunteers. 🖖🏽

FediCon kicks off tomorrow in Vancouver 💫

And... our co-founder @michael is making the trip across the Atlantic to be there - that's over 7,460 km!

We wouldn't make these trips if we didn't believe in the Open Social Web and how it can be used to better the world.

In particular, Michael is looking forward to meeting all the amazing faces we speak to regularly online in person.

If you're there, say hello!

Good morning Fedi friends!

I was supposed to start writing a new blog post about my tech stack - disclaimers about the apps/platforms I use and the ones I actively avoid for ethical reasons…

Well I just started doing some research and reading about #technofeudalism … and fell down a fascinating and haunting rabbit hole.

🔗: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/451795/technofeudalism-by-varoufakis-yanis/9781529926095

“Technofeudalism” is officially my word of the year, if not the decade (century, possibly). I wish more people were aware of it.

The #Fediverse feels more and more like a safe haven for me. And in the bleakness of our current political and technological situation, I’m comforted by the fact I’m currently self-hosting essential services (thank you @yunohost ).

TL;DR: I’m super grateful for the existence of the #Fediverse and the fact I’ve learned how to self-host – two amazing ways to resist technofeudalism.

We'd like to recognize some excellent contributions from our #OSSCA (Open Source Contribution Academy) participants who have been working on #Fedify.

@gaebalgom contributed PR #339, which introduces the @fedify/elysia package to provide Elysia integration for Fedify. This work addresses issue #286 by creating a plugin that enables developers using #Bun and #Elysia to integrate Fedify's #ActivityPub capabilities into their applications. The contribution includes the core integration module, documentation, examples, and proper monorepo configuration, making Fedify accessible to the Elysia community.

@r4bb1t submitted PR #315, implementing comprehensive AbortSignal support across multiple APIs to resolve issue #51. This contribution adds request cancellation capabilities not only to lookupWebFinger() but also to lookupObject(), DocumentLoader, and the HTTP signature authentication flow (doubleKnock()), allowing developers to properly handle timeouts and abort ongoing requests throughout the entire request chain. The implementation includes extensive test coverage for cancellation scenarios across all affected components and lays the groundwork for adding --timeout options to various CLI commands like fedify lookup, fedify webfinger, and fedify nodeinfo, making federated applications more robust and responsive.

@ooheunda addressed a testing infrastructure issue with PR #350, fixing a race condition in PostgreSQL message queue tests that was causing intermittent failures (issue #346). By adding explicit initialization before concurrent message queue listeners, this fix prevents table creation conflicts that were affecting test reliability, ensuring more consistent PR testing for all contributors.

@songbirds provided two test stability improvements with PR #344 and PR #347. The first PR adds skip guards to RedisKvStore tests as a workaround for a known Bun runtime issue, keeping the test suite functional while awaiting an upstream fix. The second PR resolves a race condition in the code generation process by randomizing output filenames, preventing conflicts during parallel test execution. These contributions help maintain a stable testing environment for the project.

Thank you all for your contributions to Fedify. Your work helps make federated social networking more accessible to developers.

Thanks to @nlnet I was able to revamp and fully update the delightful #fediverse experience curated list, with hundreds of #ActivityPub-related #FOSS projects.

Just now I added a new section Application plugins, that will soon be published at:
