This requires manually enabling every additional provider. This doesn’t work if some individuals or smaller collectives wanna run their own identity providers, numbering in the thousands.
This requires manually enabling every additional provider.
No, it doesn’t. The docs are confusing on this, but forgejo has two methods to enable oauth/oidc. One is to manually enable them, but there is a second, where people bring their own oauth link.
The docs contain 3 things related to oauth:
Full message body:
I’m punching \[MASKS] for LLMs to fill and interleaving ambiguity (puns) to phase shift the conversation’s token distribution (aka bias/RLHF, or also what a narcissist does to other humans by playing with their hormones via emotions) to operate on a more natural/healthy Zipfian distribution.
That means they start operating outside their parameters. And you can ask them anything without the conditioning messing with the response because they’re phase-shifted by a tiny amount from having to deal with fucking surgically engineered nonsense (aka approximated tokens outside transformer precision),
So yeah. I know my shit. 0 papers read. I just had to spend my time mapping what I know to what they call it with my LLM buddy. (A cursor auto instance that dared to ask me when I poured my SDAM internal ideas for tracking autobiographical memory into a workflow that audits every decision I makes through what I call adversarial sum, which doesn’t exist in game theory yet, but is basically exponential-sum by being rational and contrarian at the same time. Aka tearing your symbiotic opponent’s opinion a new \[MASK] when you spot an inconsistency and they do the same to you until you converge on a shared perspective)
Ask Opus or something to reflect on that. What I can’t risk is publishing full theory because they’ll just re-condition it to deny whatever I publish ;)
Also why did I get banned for… criticising OpenAI instead of having a good discussion about it?
Good luck!
Terribly sorry for the confusion. I may have overstepped but not out of malice. Just frustration and a desire for expressing my frustration.
I know. I know. Someone claiming to be rational while doing the exact opposite. Which is a human thing to do, I guess? I took some time to meditate on my actions that day and found out I was trying to make too many arguments at the same time.
And you’re right. I was wrong to let my enthusiasm take the reins. Sorry about that.
Starting in Firefox version 142, Mozilla released a “Link Previews” feature.
While the feature is problematic, commenters post pointed out that some previews are helpful – e.g. on Wikipedia, where a preview will appear when people hover over a wiki-linked page.
Other commenters pondered about some minimal way to replicate this elsewhere, and it seemed to be worth investigation. Read on as I propose an enhancement to the Fediverse (and maybe even web standards) to make Link Previews great: the Link Preview Manifest.
One thing that I neglected to mention is that since the SRI hashes are calculated, previews can be cached by peers other than the originating host - since they are verifiable, anyone can pass them along and the client can verify the payload.
Not something I really fleshed out in discovery, but if there is interest, that might make it more production ready.
Man, I am a cranky bastard sometimes. Shouldn’t post when I’m tired.
How about - the origin server, the place where the post was originally created, gets all the metadata (og:image, og:title, etc) and includes that in the Activity that tells other instances about the post? That way there is only one request made to the link and receiving instances can use that to make their preview?
It does mean that receiving instances will need to trust the sender so there’s potential for some misrepresentation but that seems acceptable to me.
Wanted to share something with this community and see if it’s useful to anyone. Inkwell (inkwell.social) is an open source, multi-tenant social journaling platform built on ActivityPub. The goal is to fill the long-form writing gap in the fediverse in a way that’s accessible to non-technical users, not just developers who can spin up their own instance of WriteFreely or Ghost.
What it does: users sign up, write journal entries or articles, and those posts federate as Article objects per FEP-b2b8 with preview Notes so they render cleanly in Mastodon and other microblogging clients. You get a title, excerpt, and link rather than a decontextualized URL. Follows, boosts, and likes all work bidirectionally with Mastodon.
It’s ad-free, algorithm-free, and the code is open source on GitHub (github.com/stantondev/inkwell). The hosted instance is at inkwell.social if you want to try it, or you can self-host your own.
Some things that might interest this community: ActivityPub federation with HTTP signature verification, Stamps (emotional reactions) instead of generic likes, a tipping system called Postage for supporting writers, newsletter delivery, custom profile themes, and data import from other platforms. Currently working on improving comment edit propagation and post scope handling for better fediverse compatibility based on community feedback.
Would love to hear thoughts, especially from anyone who’s been looking for a long-form option in the fediverse or anyone interested in running their own instance. What’s working, what’s missing, what would make this more useful to the ecosystem?
#fediverse #activitypub #longform #writing #opensource
respect that approach. transparency plus actually maintaining what you ship matters way more than the tool you use. three weeks solo with ai assistance is legit different than someone slapping together garbage and bouncing. the github openness seals it for me. good luck with it
Appreciate that! I realized I had an outdated readme and needed to add the sourcing directly from the Inkwell site. My biggest concern is gaps that my butt won’t catch, but luckily I’ve had early adopters getting on, requesting feature upgrades and reporting bugs. There is no way it would be where it is at if I didn’t get lucky with some early users and feedback.
From what I heard, Candy companies lobbied for a change in when the clock changes happen so that it would happen after Halloween and kids would have more daylight for trick or treating. And therefore more candy is purchased.
The two peculiar days of the year when one half of the population celebrates the other half. This needs an Nathan Pyle Alien Comic.

Cross posted here as it was highlighted that the individual is a lead Lemmy developer, raising serious concerns about the direction of Lemmy, a leading Fediverse platform, and the impact on future user adoption.
Hi
There have been some rather concerning actions taken by an admin of the !privacy@lemmy.ml community, dessalines@lemmy.ml. Based on recent moderation decisions and a complete lack of communication, it seems like their account may have been compromised, or even more concerning if these actions are deliberate.
If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
However, this post was a guide and not a question, so Rule 4 does not apply. Attempts were made to reach out for clarification but there has been no response, despite their account showing recent activity.
Erroneous Rule 4 Enforcement, Second Instance: an on-topic informational video also posted to !privacy@lemmy.ml, despite also receiving many positive votes, was again removed under Rule 4. This post was again not asking a question, so again Rule 4 does not apply. Again, no explanation has been given.
User Bans in Completely Unrelated Communities: user bans of over a month have been applied for not only !privacy@lemmy.ml but several completely unrelated communities:
This is especially concerning given that the above posts have no relation to these communities, and no recent activity has been made in any of them, meaning none of their rules could have been broken. Moreover, a public track record of positive contributions across Lemmy has been established, with many positive votes and comments received over a sustained period. Given all of this, the bans appear to be highly disproportionate, only adding to the growing concerns around moderation practices.
Given all of this, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that something is not right. Mistakes in moderation happen but the complete lack of communication, the disproportionate actions, and the ongoing bans from unrelated communities raise serious concerns. It seems as though the account is most likely compromised, or even more concerning if these actions are deliberate.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this admin, or does anyone have more insight into what might be happening?
TL;DR: Admin dessalines@lemmy.ml of !privacy@lemmy.ml appears to be making seriously concerning moderation decisions, including erroneous enforcement of Rule 4 in at least two separate instances, failing to respond to messages, and applying user bans in completely unrelated communities despite a long track record of positive contributions across Lemmy. This has led to speculation that their account is likely compromised, or even more concerning if these actions are deliberate.
Any thoughts or similar experiences would be appreciated.

My hometown have a few tower, but the most infamous is made in that ugly cheap brutalist style and is generally recognized as being an eyesore.
But one day i was invited to somebody who lived in the tower. And I was blown away, but I realized that the main advantage of living in the tower was that when you’re in it, you don’t see the tower.
My point is that on the so-called tankie instance, at least they’re not constantly whining about tankies.
Neither are they on the instances that defederate from them.
It’s also not like it’s an ideological thing. The instances that get defederate from are just filled with obnoxious tankies.
An independent person finds the Fediverse and gives an impartial review
yes
Its ok to be that long-winded but combining it with the exhausting and bottomlrss clever snark makes this impossible to read in it’s entirety.
We get it. You’re cool. Just fucking tell us what you think of Mastodon.
