@tastapod inspired me with his #JoyfulCoding based on https://cupid.dev practices. Focus less on formal #SOLID principles. Have more fun.
This Joy of Coding notion led me to expand the concept to be #JoyfulCreation.
After all coding is social and countless people are involved in getting results that fulfills our collective needs.
This is what the future #SocialWeb will bring. #CommonsParticipation 💪
Joyful creation is where fediverse allows us to ✨ social code the social code together.
Looks like Swift is going to be expanding its presence to the Social Web

Now I am curious, what's our #Filipino word for #Fediverse and #SocialWeb ?
So far, I these for potential Filipino translation of "Fediverse":
- bigkisberso (bigkis + uniberso)
- sansinukob = used in Filipino astronomy and literature to refer to the "universe" (I personally like this one)
- bukob (buklod + sukob) = just my invention
Other suggestions?
Since we're talking about the Filipino language (not Tagalog language), this means all Philippine languages are valid. We can combine them together, even use the 6th vowel /ë/.
But how about "Social Web"?
I was told that the Filipino for "Internet" is "daigbatan". I'm just not sure though since I can't find information on "batan" other than:
- Original name of Bataän was Batan, a Spanish word for "log" (🪵) which the province was named after by the Spaniards.
- The Ivatan people call themselves in the Ivatan language as "Batan". (Yes, Batanes = Isles of [the] Batan [people]. Batan + Isles (just my theory, but it makes logical sense 😝))
So, I'm not sure why "Internet" is "daigbatan".
My thought process is, "social web" could be:
- liponbatan = literally social network
- daiglipon = lit. world social; web social
Other suggestions?

new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.
there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

The second longest-running Augmented Reality Game (ARG), Ingress by Niantic, has finally joined the Open Social Web today through the ATmosphere network's Bluesky platform.
https://deer.social/profile/ingress.com

Something to SNS providers and software can learn from the gaming industry is name filters.
Majority, if not all, online #games implement a RegExp-based or manual input name blocklist. In the socmed landscape, software like Mastodon should implement it to prevent any handles **and** display names with "Mastodon" in it.
Instance admins and moderators should be able to add new entries as they see fit. They can choose between RegExp matching or manual input.
It is an effective way to minimize fake accounts pretending to be the platform, instance, service, and/or software. For example, the Mastodon **software** is currently being bombarded by fake accounts about "Mastodon account verification", with "Mastodon" in either their handle or display name, or both.
Other social media software and platforms should implement it as well. Of course, it is not the ultimate solution, but it at least adds another layer to enable admins and moderators to fight against scammers and phishers pretending to be official accounts or channels.

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. 🖖🏽

How happy is the marriage between #ActivityPub and #ActivityStreams? 🤔
https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/522
Options: (choose one)
One of the /facepalm moments you see in online communities is when a person or group attacks or insult a different culture or people, and when they fight back, they get offended and reports them (and calls the gang to mass report and exchange more words).
This is common in online games but also in the #SocialWeb. All you can do is 🤦🏽 or 🤷🏽 or both.
Moral lesson: If you think you're entitled to attack, bully, harass, or defame another person, people/Nation, culture, language, or country, then you shouldn't complain if they return the favor.
As the #GoldenRule goes:
> Treat others as one would like others to treat them
> Do not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated
> What one wishes upon others, they wish upon themselves
Or, religious or philosophical:
> Ma'at: Do to the doer to make him do.
> Ma'at: That which you hate to be done to you, do not do to another.
> Thales: Avoid doing what you would blame others for doing.
> Isocrates: Do not do to others that which angers you when they do it to you.
> Leviticus (book): You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your kinsfolk. Love your neighbor as yourself
> Matthew (book): In everything do to others as you would have them do to you
> Hinduism: If the entire Dharma can be said in a few words, then it is—that which is unfavorable to us, do not do that to others.
> Confucious: What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.
> Yoruba: One who is going to take a pointed stick to pinch a baby bird should first try it on himself to feel how it hurts.
Or, as we Filipinos say:
> Karma!

The other thing that the #Guppe incident showed us is that the #Fediverse seriously needs the #Nomadic protocol.
Let's say the Fediverse understands the protocol: just move to a new domain, inform all instances "this is the new domain, automatically re-subscribe please", done. Life goes on for regular people.
I am not saying it is that easy or that's how exactly it will work. But it could've been avoided. Right now, entire communities are gone, many who were relying on it are now disconnected. (Then again, I can argue that it's time to clean the membership since many accounts are also stagnant.)
So, when? #ActivityPub2 ?
Who should work on compatibility with other #Fediverse software?
- Option A: Most used software should make sure they are compatible with everyone (one-sided effort)
- Option B: Less used software should make sure they are compatible with everyone (one-sided effort)
- Option C: Both software should make sure they are compatible with each other (equal/shared effort)
#poll #polls #software #SocialWeb #OpenSocialWeb
Options: (choose one)
When articles, videos and podcasts are native #ActivityPub, maybe people will just boost them directly instead of everybody writing their own posts linking to them. I really wish quote boosts had this functionality in mind. Same with podcatchers, video players and reader apps in the future. Show me what's most boosted in my social graph of the content type you're designed for.
Making all media management better and attention more democratically allocated is the "killer app" of the #SocialWeb.

#FediAlgo (the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed) v1.2.2 is deployed now. Has a switch that makes sure any #hashtags / users / etc. that you follow are displayed as filter options even if they don't meet the minimum number of recent toots threshold.
Also a bunch of bug fixes and small improvements.

We're sad to see that IFTAS Connect has begun the process of shutting down.
We, like many other server admins, often found advice and help from the community there.
We hope that by preserving the 'Connect' news feed with Channel.org tech we can give back to the community.
Thank you for the work by @iftas and everyone involved, including all the admins who shared their thoughts there.
We look forward to seeing what's next for community collaboration on the Fediverse.

If we were to do a regular online Fediverse meeting —
(Maybe once a month.)
WHAT DAYS OF THE WEEK WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO ATTEND?
A regular (online) meeting for Fediverse developers, for those who care about the Fediverse as a social movement, and for those who care about the success of the Fediverse.
Sunday?
Monday?
Tuesday?
Wednesday?
Thursday?
Friday?
Saturday?
(You can pick more than one day)
PLEASE REPLY WITH YOUR ANSWER.

CrowdBucks update:
The CrowdBucks team is working on adding Euro (€) support.
⁂
CrowdBucks is a open-source, Fediverse-native, self-hostable way to FUND THE FEDIVERSE.
To help support Fediverse server sysops, to support Fediverse developers, to support creators, and more.
⁂
Accepting Euro is relatively easy. But, there is some work to add Euro support to the user-experience.

One of the powerful things about the Fediverse and Social Web is that people can follow you from anywhere!
People from the same server you are on.
But also people from other servers can follow you.
Should the ability for people on other servers to follow you be OFF by default?
And, only people on the same server you are on can follow you by default?

Three years ago today, the idea of the Newsmast Foundation was born 🎂
Born from the pieces of what Twitter was, our founders knew that they needed to take action to help online communities come together to inform one another once again.
