昔、「からあげに勝手にかけられる物選手権」なるものを友人としたのですが、
塩とレモンが安定のトップ争いをするかと思われていました。
しかし結果はふと友人が口にした「…税金？」の言葉により、一位は「税金」になりました。
たしかに塩とかレモン以上に勝手にかかってるわ。

@p This is a good analysis, and I can confirm that there is indeed some coordination between the organizations and people you mentioned. I wouldn't call it a conspiracy, though. I know some of them well enough to conclude that it is a not a single organization, but a loose group. Some of them seem to be fake, but others seem to be sincere in their convictions.
I'd like to share a couple of additional links you may find interesting:
- https://about.iftas.org/yoel/
Remember this guy? Given the timing, I suspect that some of these projects were supposed to be sinecures for former Twitter employees.
- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/140
This is a draft of a FEP about mandatory CSAM scanning. As one of the FEP repo maintainers, I immediately raised concerns about privacy, centralization, etc. That made me persona non grata at W3C.

:globalistlocated: Lotta fluoride moving through the glowieverse. Welcome to Friday Hell. Hold onto your :manhattan3: while I poke the global surveillance bear. :terryno:
TL;DR: :glowing::glowinthedark::globalistlocated::plasticbottle::fluoride::drinkfluoride::manhattan3: INDEPENDENT FEDERATED TRUST AND SAFETY (but first I talk about mirroring for a couple of paragraphs)
A lot of the URLs can be mirrored to your instance locally and read/replied to/reposted on your instance without making you look at the glowie servers. Paste the URLs into the search bar, they'll show up on your instance. This should probably be easier in most FEs.⁰
:zerocool::acidburn::lordnikon: You know what's better than archive.today links? Mirroring the shit onto a few dozen fedi instances. You put, e.g., https://wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas-funding-crisis/ into the search bar, it is mirrored to your instance. If you reply to it or repost it (or you are on Pleroma and you smash dat like), it is mirrored to instances where someone follows you. :phantomphreak::plague::cereal:
:glowing: IFTAS is making another push for centralizing fedi. IFTAS is a surveillance/steering organization that has enough overlap with Newsmast, the Social Web Foundation, Oliphant, FediMod, indieweb.social, hachyderm.io, that they are effectively the same organization. (Sockpuppets are bad when you're LITERALLY HARASSING JOURNALISTS but it is fine to use orgs as sockpuppets. These people spin up 501(c)(3)s faster than most of us spin up domains. The orgs are, not coincidentally, all based in .us/.de/.uk/.ca.) Here's who they are: https://about.iftas.org/advisory/ .
:glowinthedark: The organizations get government/corporate funding through organizations like nlnet or the Social Web Foudnation ( https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/03/27/defederation-on-the-fediverse/ ) or the Ford Foundation through the DIIF. They use this sort of thing as a mechanism to pay themselves, so Newsmast "buys" indieweb.so

@pfefferle Yes, but I don’t think Mastodon, Fredrica, or GoToSocial will ever do that. 🥺

Matthias Pfefferle@pfefferle@mastodon.social (2026-04-18 03:36:56)
@mczachurski I am more of a fan of the Activity Extension (your FEP). Adding meta data to HTML might be a noisy and with JSON meta, every platform can decide if and how itt wants to show them.
silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-04-18 02:38:47)
An interesting development happens in funfedidev/schemas project. It's a JSON schema validator for Fediverse:
https://schemas.funfedi.dev/activity-pub-question/
In this example it loads the JSON schema from FEP-9967: Polls, which you can use to validate your Question object.

Marcin Czachurski@mczachurski@mastodon.social (2026-04-18 01:57:41)
I’m looking for input from ActivityPub experts. Vernissage supports reading and exchanging EXIF metadata from photos (currently visible only in supporting systems). Would it be reasonable (if explicitly enabled by the user) to automatically embed this metadata as HTML in outgoing ActivityPub posts, so other platforms could render it within the status content? This could eliminate the need for manual copying. Curious whether this is considered a good practice or an anti-pattern. 🤔

@mkljczk That's reasonable, I also plan to implement basic comment moderation in Mitra. It will probably be a mix of interaction policies and conversation containers.

nicole mikołajczyk@mkljczk@pl.fediverse.pl (2026-04-18 01:20:48)
@silverpill I want to eventually implement interaction policies in a way that doesn't pretend it does what it can't so it would allow moderating replies collection and locally work like the 'hidden replies' thing on twitter
Reply to @caohuak@moon.lonewolf.zone
silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-04-18 01:20:25)
@caohuak @frost This is a non-standard activity type, so Iceshrimp needs a type hint. It can be added if necessary.
What is expected to happen when a Bite is received? Does Mitra need to show a notification?
Reply to @silverpill@mitra.social
nicole mikołajczyk@mkljczk@pl.fediverse.pl (2026-04-18 01:17:35)
@silverpill The minimal one. It ignores incoming interactionPolicy and hardcodes automatic approval for outgoing posts
Reply to @mkljczk@pl.fediverse.pl
silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-04-18 01:11:43)
@mkljczk Did you implement the whole flow, or the minimal one required to make posts quotable?
Reply to @caohuak@moon.lonewolf.zone
silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-04-18 01:03:07)
@caohuak Mastodon's "consent-respecting" quoting. I added partial support for it in the last Mitra release, so now it shows "Post pending" instead of no quote at all.
Is it better / worse?
Reply to @caohuak@moon.lonewolf.zone
CaohuaK ❄️@caohuak@moon.lonewolf.zone (2026-04-18 00:41:20)
@silverpill nvm mastodon shows this for any posts that aren't quoting your own.
CaohuaK ❄️@caohuak@moon.lonewolf.zone (2026-04-18 00:30:19)
@silverpill Posts quoting minimitra are showing up as pending on Mastodon. (m.otter.homes)
