a library in the dependency tree is worth 2 landing pages on the web.

the source code is mightier than the whitepaper.

don't count your user base before you deploy!

low key I hadn't been using my engine f because I would keep running into words that I couldn't spell and now I can just dictate them out which is better than having to pull up the onscreen keyboard and fuss about.

I think a future improvement I want to add is the ability to create word substitutions more efficiently.at the moment I have to open the python file and manually type them in

set some time aside this weekend to code for my soul and take a break from work thoughts.

finally added the nato phonetic alphabet to my speech to text set up as well as modes for typing variable names more efficiently

For anyone curious this is what I've been doing for 9 hours straight: https://github.com/hyphacoop/social.distributed.press/pull/1

Tired of writing text, I want to operate on content addressed ASTs in 3D instead.

I love it when flexible classes come in handy. The storage class for our inbox conveniently became useful for the outbox when we needed it without any extra tinkering. 🥰

To be clear though, this will just be on the SocialInbox server to preemtively filter out replies and follow requests from such instances.

Sadly we need a whole new approach to figure out how to prevent instances like this from reading your posts since all your data is available via ActivityPub and HTML on the #dweb. 😅

Huge thanks for folks/ input on this. We're going to start with the mastodon blocklist format version of gardenfence and go from there.

We'll have a flag for folks to toggle during setup for pulling from a URL and have it set to this one by default:

I came across one a while ago but it seems to be run by some folks that I don't think I could trust or even mention in any professional contexts. :/

I was kinda hoping #FediDB would be tracking something like this but I didn't see anything in their api

@j3j5 Yeah defs a fan of the bad space. I think my only concern is that there isn't much insight into where it comes from and how much "shared reality" there is. IMO "the top most blocked instances" is an easier sell for folks just getting started + reduces the overall size of your blocklist.

Very much into integrating with it as stuff progresses and stabilizes though.

Anyone got an API endpoint of the "most blocked instances" handy? I wanna add it to the initialization flow for the #DistributedPress #SocialInbox

Ideally it'd be nice to say "Here's the top 100 most hated instances so you can preemptively block them if you'd like". It's not perfect but I think this would make it easier for small publishers to get started.

#ActivityPub #moderation #mastodon #fediblock

We've got a new #ActivityPub implementation that'll be released in early September in #DistributedPress!

Instead of fancy frontends and databases, we're focusing on enabling statically published sites to add AP support via a lightweight Social Inbox server that they can register using standard HTTP Signed Messages.
