A conversation about the current state of oil geopolitics, from the protocol point of view, and about its present day validity.

There are a couple of good quotes in this blog post. Like
"The protocol fight is interesting the way medieval siege warfare is interesting — I'm glad someone's into it, but it has no bearing on my life."

Heinberg:
"The current sharp spike in diesel fuel prices is likely to be a significant drag on the construction and installation of renewables—as well as to increase the cost of food and most other things. People tend to forget that, despite all the solar panels and wind turbines, the heavy work of the global economy is still mostly being done by diesel fuel."

TMS-evoked phosphenes and oculomotor responses in visual-snow syndrome
Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) is a neurological condition characterized by continuous visual disturbances resembling television static across the visual field. Despite its significant impact on quality of life, objective assessment methods remain limited, with diagnosis relying primarily on subjective patient reports. Current understanding of VSS pathophysiology suggests cortical hyperexcitability, but precise mechanisms remain unclear. Here we developed an integrated protocol combining transcrani…

There seems to be a new attempt to turn ActivityPub into some centralized monolithic thing with hard coded limited vocabularies. This is an attempt to have a new central power in social networking via the control of the vocabularies of the exchange protocols.
The argument is the same for the same attempt in the area of credentials and wallets: The format is sooo complex, we can't implement. Let's do a simple protocol instead. And BTW, protocol/format combinations are great, pl…

I hit this time and time again for moment in time events where during the thick of it, I'm invested and interested - conferences, world news, etc - but after which there's no more signal in the hashtag and it's just detritus putting load on a server somewhere.

In the interests of starting a more productive dialogue than yesterday's main character was interested in, let's make a #brainstorm thread about design changes to ActivityPub and/or client UI that could actually help address drive-by (often racist) harassment on the fediverse.
Feel free to discuss pros/cons but don't feel an idea needs to be perfect to suggest it. Also since this is a brainstorm don't worry about complexity/implementation cost. If you have a great-but-hard-to-implement idea someone else may think of a way to simplify it.
Note that the underlying problem *is* a social one, do there won't be a technological fix! But tech changes can make social remedies easier/harder.
I've got some to start:
1. Have a "protected mode" that users can voluntarily turn on. Some servers might turn it on by default. In protected mode, users whose accounts are less than D days old and/or who have fewer than F followers can't reply to or DM you. F and D could have different values for same-sever vs. different-server accounts, and could be customized by each user. Obviously a dedicated harasser can get around this, but it ups the activation energy for block evasion and pile-ons a bit. Would be interesting to review moderation records to estimate how helpful this might or might not be. Could also have a setting to require "follows-from-my-server" although that might be too limiting on private servers. Restriction would be turned off for people you mention within that thread and could be set to unlimit anyone you've ever mentioned. Would this lock new users out of engagement entirely? If everyone had it on via a default, you'd have you post your own stuff until someone followed you (assuming F=1). One could add "R non-moderated replies" and/or "F favorites" options to soften things; those experiencing more harassment could set higher limits. When muting/blocking/reporting someone who replied to your post, protected mode could be suggested with settings that would have filtered the post you're reporting.
2. Enable some form of public moderation info to be displayed when both moderator and local server opt-in. Obviously each server would be able to ignore federated public tags. I'm imagining "banned from X server for R reason (optional link to evidence)" appearing on someone's profile & an icon on their PFP in each post viewed by someone on server Y *if* the mods of server X decide it's appropriate *and* server Y opts in to displaying such tags from server X specifically. Alliances of servers with similar moderation preferences could then have moderation action on one server result in clear warning propagation to others without the other mods needing to decide whether to also take action immediately. In some cases different moderation preferences would mean you wouldn't take action yourself but would keep the notice up for your users to consider. Obviously the "Scarlet Letter" vibe ain't great, but in some cases it's deserved, and when there's disagreement between servers about that, mods on server Y could either disable a specific tag or disable federation of mod tags from that server in general. Even better shared moderation tools are of course possible.
3. Different people/groups have different norms around boosting. Currently we only have a locked/public binary. Without any big protocol changes, adding a "prefers boosts/doesn't" setting which would warn in the UI before a viewer chooses to boost if the preference is "doesn't" could help. This could be set per-post, but could also have defaults and could have different values for same-server or not, or for particular servers. For example, I could say "default to prefer boosts from users on my server but not from users on other servers" or "default to prefer boosting on all servers except mastodon.social." Last option might be harder to implement I guess.

An early snapshot of the federation network among web publishers using the ActivityPub protocol. Nodes are instances, and a directed edge exists if an instance follows another instance.
This network has 4860 nodes and 484164 edges.

HTTP/3 on FreeBSD: Getting QUIC Working with nginx in a Bastille Jail
What looked like a simple nginx config change turned into a tour through SSL library incompatibilities, pf firewall rules for a new protocol, and a multi-worker affinity problem that only shows up ...

OK, I think I'm at the point that I need to spend a few minutes narrating a demo video of this. Screenshots don't do it justice.

contact: Haggle human proximity network (2006)
A network of human proximities, as measured by carried wireless devices. Each node represents a person, and an edge denotes when two people were within a certain proximity of each other, as measured by a wireless protocol (Bluetooth or Wifi). The edges are timestamped.
This network has 274 nodes and 28244 edges.
