All intriguing ...

Thursday, April 24: AHOY! European Social Web Day 2025, in Hamburg and online. The website says "We're connecting early adopters across Europe to discuss the Bluesky & AT Protocol ecosystem, helping shape apps, tools, infrastructure, use-cases, and campaigns that earn trust from users, organizations, and policymakers." Last month's ATmosphereConf in Seattle and online was great, and I expect Ahoy will have the same sense of positive energy and range of topics.

Wednesday, April 30: Archiving the Black Web Presents two special conversations on Black contributions to the development of the Web and the future of the Black user experience on social media

  • A Black History of the Web and Archiving Our Existence (Virtual), with @sjjphd@dair-community.social Dr. Charlton McIlwain, Dr. Catherine Knight Steele, Dr. Tonia Sutherland

  • Towards Safety for Black People on the Web (Online & In-Person at the Auburn Avenue Research Library in Atlanta), with @rudyfraser.com@bsky.brid.gy, Dr. Andre Brock, and Dr. Meredith D. Clark

And I'm sure there's more ... what did I miss?

EventbriteDAIR Presents: Imagining Possible FuturesAt DAIR, we want to encourage imagining otherwise. Join us for two panels and a collaborative zine-making workshop.

"…one of the larger challenges of multi-feed aggregation apps like #Tapestry is that you’re often confronted with duplicates as other users cross-post their updates to multiple services like #Mastodon, #Bluesky, and #Microblog.
The latest Tapestry update is now able to automatically filter out these duplicates, even when the posts are not written exactly the same…if a longer Mastodon post were edited down to meet Bluesky’s 300-ch limit, it would still be able to detect."

or what if it's not illegal where I posted it, but only where their relay is? actual decentralization matters for the public square, especially with the current US leadership.

if people just want to have fun with social media, #bluesky will be fine. if we want social media to matter at the civic and cultural level, they have to fix the relay model. #AttentionDemocracy

Leaving #Twitter for #Bluesky is like leaving prison and committing a felony right away. After finally realising the opportunity of being free, why would you do everything to end up being a prisoner of a centralised platform run by another billionaire?

I've been asking #bluesky users to bridge to the fedi for months and I noticed a problem. On the main profile page, they will show accounts that follow both of you etc. But sometimes they now don't show the #bridgyfed account even if it does follow that account. So I told @pfrazee.com and @mmasnick.bsky.social about it. No response, no problem.

But less than an hour later, my account got tagged as a spammer for the first time ever. Weird coincidence perhaps? #SocialWeb

Continued thread

Le chercheur met en lumière une stratégie de sape bien rodée, importée des Etats-Unis: une campagne de dénigrement en ligne, des relais médiatiques ultraconservateurs, des pressions politiques et une plainte en justice. La plateforme développée par le CNRS permet aux utilisateurs du réseau social de #Musk de rejoindre des alternatives comme #BlueSky et #Mastodon sans perdre leur communauté. De quoi faire bondir les fans du proprio de #Tesla.
