@Pawlicker @Phantasm Not the whole Fediverse is social media.
Social media is all about unidirectional followers and churning out content to as many people as possible. Mastodon is social media. It's modelled after Twitter which is social media. So are basically all other microblogging server applications in the Fediverse.
In stark contrast, Hubzilla, as well as its ancestors and descendants, is not social media. It is not modelled after Twitter. It is not nomadic Mastodon with unlimited characters. It doesn't even have unidirectional following. Intentionally in all cases. Also, something that has been around for longer than Mastodon can't be modelled after Mastodon.
Rather, at its core, it's modelled after the Facebook of the 2010s. The Facebook of the 2010s was not social media. It was a social network, dedicated to bidirectional interactions between people. To this day, Facebook doesn't have unidirectional following. Instead, it has "friends" which are always bidirectional.
Likewise, Hubzilla has bidirectional "contacts" as a default. Mind you, these are nothing like your usual Fediverse microblogging mutuals. They aren't one following connection plus one being-followed connection. They're one and exactly one connection which goes both ways.
Also, unlike most other Fediverse software, Hubzilla is extremely flexible in its use-cases. Unlike on most other Fediverse server applications, Hubzilla isn't hard-coded to always be public unless it's a DM which still is quasi-public. It can very much be used for enclosed communities as well, protected by a staggeringly advanced permissions system.
Let me put it this way: BlackMastodon was a disaster. Why? Because Mastodon has nothing much between fully public and mention-driven DMs, and its only ways of self-moderation are muting, blocking and calling the mods.
BlackZilla would have been a success (unless phone apps with native mobile UIs would have been a hard requirement). It would have allowed for discussions wit

So this is fun. For the first time since setting up the contributions towards the cost of the server we've had a credit card dispute raised for "The cardholder claims the product or service was defective, damaged, or not as described."
Because of Stripe fees their £3 contribution has now cost me over £20 in fees alone as well as the £3 they originally contributed.
It's bad enough that the cost of maintaining the site and the infrastructure continue to rise and contributions continue to drop but disputes like this when there has been no contact or attempts at contact made just take the cake.

@mike I see activities, but I figured out why. The URL is normalized before fetching and ?posts=true parameter is removed during the normalization.
This is because query parameters are not significant in 'ap' URIs:
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md#comparing-ap-uris
Not sure how to deal with this. I think collections shouldn't have query parameters in their IDs, but query parameters should be allowed in collection views (when filtering is applied).

I get exactly one "post", but the collection metadata was incorrect and said it was a collection of 3, and a collectionOf 'activity'. Are you seeing actual activities, or just incorrect metadata? Might need to DM a snippet if the former. If the latter, that should be resolved now.

@phnt @jupiter_rowland Making social media less social is one huge reason why it's so shit nowadays.
It's also funny to see how people who do that end up complaining about how lonely they are before nuking their account. You just cut off all interactions, no wonder people aren't talking to you.

@jupiter_rowland @sendpaws Not to mention that limiting social interactions on a social media network is kinda sad. There are better ways to filter posts you don't like seeing in your notifs than breaking federation and/or making social media less social.

This post is about 7 months old, and #HolosSocial went far beyond it since. It now has #E2EE DMs with the Signal protocol, and real identity portability. You can use a custom domain so your identity rests on your own name and keys, and keep your media on your own cloud. Leaving a relay is no longer a migration, you just point your domain elsewhere and keep going. This remains optional, you have time to discover the app and enable things later that will give you full independence on #ActivityPub.

@stefan I've found them useful just for categorizing posts and compacting my feed, e.g. I have a bunch of posts in my feed hidden under a filter titled "AI" (including my own posts), so I have an idea what the post is about and tap to read it if I'm in the mood

Filters are an awesome feature and likewise, big fan.
Definitely recommend getting familiar with it, if your server/platform has it!

@Edent supposedly 2FA will stop this.
But also recently someone I know had their Telegram account hacked in a similar way. A link to vote for someone in some contest, which needs Telegram login, except it doesn't do the proper oauth flow but instead asks for your phone number, confirmation in the app, and 2FA password (yes Telegram has it the other way around). I had to ask the right person at Telegram to terminate the scammer's sessions so that person could have their account back.

If you are about to reply saying that you're too smart to fall for this - you're wrong.
One day you will be tired. Or ill. Or hungover. Or grieving. Or drunk. Or in hospital. Or distracted. Or jetlagged.
You are not an extra-special clever boy who is far too wise - unlike those normal people - and could never be conned like this.
Everyone is vulnerable. Yes, even you one day.
I don't blame Cal.com for letting this through. But it's hard to see how to comprehensively stop scams like this.

This is where we get to Game Over. If you add your password here, it'll jump into your account and do who-knows-what.
Two-Factor Authentication won't save you here. If you type in your magic code the scammer will just relay that.
If you click the "OK" button on your Google device, you've authorised an imposter.
A password manager will probably save you - it won't auto-fill on a dodgy domain. But will you think the app is faulty and just manually copy your credentials?

"Huh! I must be signed out of my Google account. Better log in."
That's what the scammer wants you to think.
This is a pretty good spoof page! The UI looks about right and there are no obvious typos.
Even the domain isn't egregious. It isn't a .xyz domain or some super-weird domain name. True, it isn't Google - but it also isn't a random jumble of letters.
Let's type in our email address, just for fun!

Nasty little phishing attempt unwittingly facilitated by Cal.com
First was this meeting request. Someone filled in my calendar request form.
Looks like a plausible invite - someone wanting to discuss something and a link to a document to review.
This is quite normal. People often want to hire me and will send along a project brief. What happens if I click on the link?

- Kitty Kisses Cat Cafe in Reno, NV
- Chillin Cat Lounge in Martinez, CA
- Mini Cat Town in Pleasanton, Ca
- Kitty Kisses Cat Cafe in Reno, NV
there was some family get-together that was the official reason. but really, just an excuse for the cat tour

>About "reply gating"

I've written extensively about this before. Features like this simply cannot work in a federated network like ActivityPub broadly. Your instance might hide replies/comments to your posts to you and other instances running the same software, but it is visible to everyone else. So at best it creates a false sense of security/control.
The only way to implement it properly is by making the OP instance/user the sole authority of federating those posts, which requires a large paradigm shift in how federation works. FEP-171b: Conversation Containers is one such way and it is effectively broken for every other implementation beyond those listed. Hubzilla implements it. So you either limit your interactions to 4 fedi server implementations that most people don't use, or it doesn't work as expected.
Give my blog post about it a read if you are interested in how these settings can be disregarded.

Having lists that mix accounts and hashtags is now possible in #HolosSocial 1.9.0.
To follow a topic, you often need both: a few accounts and the hashtags people use for it. Putting them in one list gives you the full picture in a single feed. It also keeps your home timeline clean, since busy hashtags stay in their list instead of flooding everything else.

With the latest MastoBlaster builds, feedback reporting issues or problems has dropped dramatically. There will probably be a few more TestFlight builds, but I think the time is coming to promote the app to "stable" and release it officially on the App Store.
As a reminder, the app will remain free for all friends of BSD Cafe, illumos Cafe, or anyone using it to connect to snac instances.
