For years, I have used syntax highlighting for code examples in my presentation material.
Not once did I get the feedback that the syntax-highlighted code was hard to read. But now I read once or twice that using syntax highlighting for code examples in presentations is considered a bad practice.
Question to the #accessibility experts of the #Fediverse: Should I avoid syntax highlighting for code examples in my presentations? If not, do you have recommendations for color palettes?
Thanks!
Fediverse | Probleme bei der Federation
Es gibt im Fediverse einige Newsbots deren 'Anrisse' bei mir scheinbar ohne Link zum Orginalbeitrag sind. Nehmen wir zum Beispiel diesen Beitrag. Bei mir (Friendica) sieht er so aus:
Sprich es gibt nur einen kurzen Textanriss und ansonsten gar nichts. Gehe ich dann auf den Orginalbeitrag (ebenfalls Friendica), so sieht es so aus:
Nun stellt sich die Frage wo unterwegs das Bild als auch der Link auf der Strecke geblieben sind. Liegt es daran das ich die Vorschau für Links deaktiviert habe? Wenn ja, dann müsste ja doch trotzdem irgendwo der entsprechende Link im Beitrag sein, oder sehe ich das falsch?
Achso, der Vollständigkeit halber findet man hier auch noch die verlinkte Seite bei DW.

Takže #NSFW kanál @Nepříliš oblečená děvčata by teď měl být otevřený i jako forum, takže kromě toho, že tam najdete automatizovaný fotky z kanálů po #Fediverse, tak tam můžete vkládat i svoje
Funguje to tak, že budete sledovat @Nepříliš oblečená děvčata a potom ho stačí jen tagnout do příspěvku, on vám to přesdílí.
Aspoň teoreticky :)
I kinda feel like this whole Threads federating discourse is like a referendum in the #Fediverse.
It's not really, because though who want to federate with Threads will, and those who won't won't - or chose an instance appropriate to their desires. It's the quintessential win-win of the Fediverse.
But some of the arguments thrown around have a vibe of electioneering about them. So in that spirit:
- Vote federate with Threads! (38%, 49 votes)
- Vote never-federate with Threads! (61%, 77 votes)
It looks like you can now view anyone’s Threads profile from Mastodon and Pixelfed instances that federate with them.
If you’re a Mastodon user wanting to block Threads, or a Mastodon server admin looking not only to block Threads from federating to your server but also block all inbound and outbound traffic (data scrapers, loads of traffic overwhelming small servers) from all their IP addresses, I wrote a guide that can help:

The #ContentNation situation is a dumpster fire for the #Fediverse. What would you do if you were building something, people misunderstood what it was, and things escalated to a point that someone loaded CSAM onto your server for the sake of reporting it?

Hey #Fediverse, and #MastoMods!
For my MA thesis, I am looking to research #moderation on Mastodon, and specifically moderators' experiences with it, how it is enacted on their instance, as well as what it entails.
Are you a moderator of an open registration, general interest instance? If you would be willing to participate in a one-off, 45-60 minute-long (online) interview, please reply to this toot or reach me at k.k.matusewicz@student.rug.nl. Thank you in advance!
Boosts are appreciated:)
Good morning #Fediverse!
Hope the day is well for everyone. Let’s start it off with our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and see what’s on the agenda.
For me, it’s just the usual day job stuff. I also am having to up the resources for the #AllThingsTech blog as it is currently down because we underestimated the interest we’d get.
Later today will be relaxing and working on week 3 of school.

How is everyone doing today and what do we all have planned for today?
It's very possible the wife and I might head to the mall today, but not sure. We definitely need to catch up on some TV shows that we are behind on, so maybe that too will happen today as we keep putting it off.
Other than, just a relaxing day hopefully.

What do you think of when you hear the word "Fediverse'?
Please note that this is only a question about the meaning of the term, not wich protocol is better or if bridges between protcols are a good or bad thing.
Boost for more reach would be nice.

Regular Fediverse federation check.
According to @fedidb (https://fedidb.org) 22,37% of monthly active Fediverse users are currently on mastodon.social.
I very much welcome the upcoming Mastodon feature that closes registrations if the mods and admins abandon the server (no activity for a week), but when do we finally close servers automatically that have 10k active users?
I'll post about this somewhat regularly under #FederationCheck, but if someone wants to automate that with a bot feel free.

Internationalise The Fediverse
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/02/internationalise-the-fediverse/
We live in the future now. It is OK to use Unicode everywhere.
It seems bizarre to me that modern Internet services sometimes "forget" that there's a world outside the Anglosphere. Some people have the temerity to speak foreign languages! And some of those languages have accents on their letters!! Even worse, some don't use English letters at all!!!
A decade ago, I was miffed that GitHub only supported some ASCII characters in its project names. There's no technical reason why your repo can't be called "ഹലോ വേൾഡ്".
Similarly, I'm frustrated that Mastodon (the largest ActivityPub service) doesn't allow Unicode usernames and has resisted efforts to change.
So I built a small ActivityPub server which publishes content from an Actor called @你好@i18n.viii.fi
- it is only a demo account, but it works!
Some ActivityPub clients report that they are able to follow it and receive messages from it. Others - like Mastodon - simply can't see anything from it. Take a look at the replies on Mastodon to see which services work. You can also see some of its posts on the Fediverse.
What Does The Fox Spec Say?
The ActivityPub specification says:
Building an international base of users is important in a federated network.
Internationalization
I can't find anything in the specifications which limits what languages a username can be written in. But there are a few clues scattered about.
The user's @
name is defined by preferredUsername
which is:
A short username which may be used to refer to the actor, with no uniqueness guarantees.
4.1 Actor objects
There's nothing in there about what scripts it can contain. However, later on, the spec says:
Properties containing natural language values, such asname
,preferredUsername
, orsummary
, make use of natural language support defined in ActivityStreams.
4. Actors
So it is expected that a preferred username could be written in multiple scripts. Which implies that the default need not be limited to A-Z0-9.
The ActivityStreams specification talks about language mapping.
Finally, the ActivityPub specification has some examples on non-Latin text in names.
So, I think that it is acceptable for usernames to be written in a variety of non-Latin scripts.
But What About...?
There are usually a few objections to "Unicode Everywhere" zealots like me. I'd like to forestall any arguments.
What about homograph attacks?
Well, what about them? ASCII has plenty of similar looking characters. I doubt most people would notice when a capital i is replaced by a lower L - and vice-versa. Similarly the kerning issue of an r and n looking like an m is well known. Are mixed language homographs more dangerous? I don't think so.
What if people make names that can't be typed?
Well, what if they do? Maybe not being found by people who can't type your language is a feature, not a bug. But, anyway, clients can let users search for other people, or copy and paste their names.
What about weird "Zalgo" text?
It is up to a client to decide how they want to render text input. The "problems" of strange Unicode combinations are well known. This is not a hard computer-science problem.
What about bi-directional text?
The spec makes clear this is allowed.
Do people even want a username in their own script?
I have no evidence for this. But I bet you'd get pretty frustrated if you had to switch keyboard just to type your own name, wouldn't you? In any case, why can't I have a username of @😉
What's Next?
If you build ActivityPub software, give some thought to the billions of people who don't have names which easily fit into ASCII.
If your software can see @你好@i18n.viii.fi
and its posts, please let me know.
