D. Olifant@oli@olifant.social

Yes, that @oliphant@oliphant.social, now running olifant.social on a droplet.

I sometimes work for the fedi and code stuff. I write about blocklists, and island networks and don't like nazis. I'm unfortunately a US citizen. Vegan for the animals and environment, not to lecture you with.

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 , Palestine 🇵🇸, and Canada 🇨🇦, for the sovereignty of Greenland, for the rights of the trans community :Flag_Trans:, as I stand with any group denied rights or bullied by an aggressor, I oppose and will always oppose all wars of aggression regardless of rationale or excuse; and while my government is overrun with Nazis, I also stand against it.

I'm also a native of Minnesota, and fuck ICE.

Things I've Made/Am Making:

Posty - Mastodon (and Pixelfed) export to static HTML site generator!
Pelago - Community moderation, island management, allowlists, blocklists, island networks, and federated discussion groups. All the stuff I wish had already existed for managing allowlists and creating easy networks between GTS islands, via the use of a single subscribeable feed. It also integrates with the FIRES and ActivityPub protocols.
FediCheck - In essence, like a subscribeable Fediblockhole that uses percentage thresholds of consensus to push blocks to your Mastodon instance. I did some contract work to create this originally for IFTAS a couple years ago. It's now retired by IFTAS, but I learned a lot on that project.
I also host a few things as public services for others. That means you! Use them!

Pelago - On the Web - Community Reports, FIRES server, Island Network manager...online!
FIRES - Island One - Composeable Moderation for the Fediverse
Blocklists - A mirror site for blocklists, including an "ad hoc" blocklist I have for my own use, stuff from fediblock or encountered in the wild.
Posty - Online - Turns a Mastodon or Pixelfed archive (whatever that looks like today) into a static HTML site. Chokes on larger archives (recommending running it locally in that
