I finally added an oft-requested feature to https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/ , my project to track statistics for the #fediverse and other Internet infrastructure. it now includes history for the Shannon Index, showing how decentralization has evolved over the time I've been collecting data.

There are two significant new additions in release v3.8.0 of ktistec.
First, the actor cards on the followed/following pages show relevant actor status. On the followed page, it tells you how long it has been since that actor published an activity (create, announce, like, etc.) that was sent to your server. It's a proxy for how active they are (or are not). On the following page, it tells you how long it has been since you have been able to send to that server. It's a proxy for whether that server is reachable or that actor is still alive.
Second, the backend for user-defined algorithmic feeds is in place, along with a keyword/hashtag/mention feeds implementation. You can't set up a feed via the user-interface, but the feeds work if you set one up directly in the database—which is how I've been previewing them. I plan to release the frontend next week.
Here's the full changelog:
Added
Display activity status on actor cards.
Back-end support for user-defined algorithmic feeds.
Apply community-relayed moderator deletes received as a Group's wrapped Announce.
Follow a web page's rel="alternate" link when searching.
Fixed
Avoid loading entire has_many collections when constructing child records.
Evaluate the same-origin fetch gate against an embedded node's own identifier.
Accept a delete of an uncached object or actor without verification.
Catch MIME::Multipart::Error in local file-upload handling.
Map malformed request-body parse failures to Bad Request.

On holiday, I had the chance to reproduce an issue with IPv6 and #Fedilab. It all happened through a WiFi repeater: the app got stuck on each start because IPv6 was available but not routable. I used this opportunity to fix it and let the app gracefully fall back to IPv4 when it happens.

My essentially single-user Mastodon server is becoming more expensive to run on @mastohost without doing some cleanup. My problem is that I don’t actually know how/what to clean up.
Early on I used relays to improve federation; I think there’s a TON of data in the db from that which could just be purged, but I don’t want to accidentally lose any user data. A couple of years ago we did run `tootctl statuses remove` but I might have still had a relay enabled more recently.

I frequently find myself explaining, often to people I don’t know, why it is that my online home is on #Mastodon, why I’m putting time and effort into building and running an instance, and why those are the best choices.
So here’s my latest effort to pull all the arguments I use together in a coherent sequence: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2026/07/05/Choose-Mastodon

One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint.
AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it.
I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one.

Mastodon is great and all, but if you want Fedi to be more than just one dominant server, I urge you to consider financially supporting GoToSocial, a lightweight ActivityPub software.
@gotosocial is halfway to their modest funding goal. Developing open source software is labor and deserves to be funded. Even if you don't use GoToSocial, I cannot overstate how important it is to fund projects like this which advance the protocol we all use. Even a buck a month is helpful.

I created a 3D-printed version of the @FediverseSymbol ⁂ as a simple coin. It has roughly the size of a €2 coin and can be found here: https://3dprint.social/models/tsx6w81ggtxm. There is a multicolour version and single-colour cut-out versions for either magnets, coins or key tags. The cut-out version is not very stable, but it works OK.
You can also follow it on the Fediverse: @tsx6w81ggtxm
Thank you to @manyfold for the Fediverse software that hosts 3D printing files.
