Have you ever heard a #song and you were immediately captivated by it even though you don't understand the #language ?
Did you also try to find a #translation ?
Post this song ๐ฉต

I hope for a lot of music from many #countries
And if someone can help with translations that would be perfect ๐
Have strong opinions on a niche topic? Mechanical keyboards? A music genre? A framework, common practice or hyped app in tech that you think is incorrectly rated? A regional food item locals inexplicably love when it's clearly the product of mass delusion and lack of access to better alternatives? Pop culture? Ancient culture? Niche science hot takes would be amazing!!!! Bring me your geophysics hot takes on #Mastodon #HotTakeJubilee day, tomorrow 2.29.2024!!!!

Dear mastodon.social, why are you hiding/limiting @LALegaultโs account?
Is it policy on mastodon.social to hide/limit pro-Palestinian / anti-genocide accounts?
(Someone there wanna check my account also, just in case?)

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.

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.

Tiny Mastodon Suggestion for
Job Recruiters and Job Seekers ๐โจ
I see many people posting jobs
and seeking jobs here, but there aren't enough organization to make this efficient.
People are advertising and
looking for jobs around the globe on the Fediverse, and this produces a lot of noise for everyone ๐โ๐โ๐โ
Why don't we start using hashtags
per country to restrict the search when positions have geographical limitations?
I suggest we start using:
#JobsCanada
#JobsUSA
#JobsIndia
#JobsSenegal
#JobsFrance
#JobsAustralia
#JobsUK
#JobsGermany
Etc, etc, etc...
This could be used by both job seekers and job posters.
We could even add something like:
#JobsCanadaLooking (for recruiters to follow)
#JobsCanadaHiring (for job seekers to follow)
What do you think? ๐

Yes, #Mastodon supports #HCaptcha, but HCaptcha mines details of some of us with disabilities by asking us to sign up with an email address to, as they put it, 'get an accessibility cookie.' If you use that service, it is a bad time for many. HCaptcha is not my friend.
Edit: For reasons why I categorically state HCaptcha is evil, see this post I made in response to someone else. People have quite rightly asked me to clarify my stance, so here it is: https://universeodon.com/@FreakyFwoof/111956924313468553
#Mastodon on Monday: "we don't want your stinking, privacy-violating, opt-out bridges around here!"
Mastodon on Sunday: "we recommend enabling hCaptcha on your instance."
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 "เดนเดฒเตเดพ เดตเตเตพเดกเต".
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 @ไฝ ๅฅฝ@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 @๐
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 @ไฝ ๅฅฝ@i18n.viii.fi
and its posts, please let me know.

We are going to continue our trial here for at least another six months while we share our findings internally and seek more engagement from other BBC teams. We are also planning to start researching ways to publish more BBC content using ActivityPub.

Question to any #Friendica users who are also familiar with federating to #Mastodon servers.
Why don't Friendica Likes
of posts federate across to Mastodon?
- is there any known solution for this annoyance, or at least a workaround?
- does the problem lie within Friendica, within Mastodon, or somewhere else?
- doesn't this IMO sizable flaw rather mock the mantra that the Fediverse via #ActivityPub facilitates widespread interoperability amongst myriad clients?
When i recently discovered that none of my Masto friends was seeing any of my Friendica Likes to their toots, i felt a bit devastated, not least coz it might have connotated rudeness on my part in their minds.
Content warning: I'm getting a little tired of the method I use to connect to the Fediverse.
!Friendica Support
Hat hier schon mal die Kommunikation zwischen #Gotosocial und #Friendica getestet?
Ich habe hier von Gotosocial Nutzern die Info erhalten, das er/sie mein Profil bzw. mein Profilbild nicht angezeigt bekommt.
Wenn er dann aber mit #Mastodon oder #Calckey einen Kontakt hat - dann wรคre das gar kein Problem.
Da ich das jetzt nicht nachvollziehen kann in Ermangelung einer Gotosocial Instanz
Ist hier etwas bekannt?
