"As it turns out, the current plan to tie Tumblr into the open social web will come about by way of the site’s planned move to the WordPress infrastructure.

Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today."

TechCrunch · Tumblr to join the fediverse after WordPress migration completes | TechCrunchSince 2022, blogging site Tumblr has been teasing its plans to integrate with the fediverse -- the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub

Link at end but I love this article for it's shocked tone. I love how the more tech of the Fediverse can't possibly comprehend that there are people that honestly just want to be left the fuck alone. This whole article was written like the writer was astonished such a thing could exist and my sides are splitting from them realizing not everybody wants to talk to you. wedistribute.org/2025/03/websi #Fediverse #ActivityPub #privacy

Hi all! I'm a concert organiser and musician and I'm planning to organise within the community a series of discussion events on the fediverse as a concrete alternative to fascist soc media. But, at the same time, to be able to meaningfully answer the questions many might have, I'm trying to wrap my head around how the ActivityPub works, in particular regarding cross-servers visibility, and how inherent certain beviours are. Any pointer is really welcome! <3

How to protect mastodon servers from being shutdown by third parties? How to distribute them further? How to use tools like veilid or cwtch to continue exchange the files in case of third Party disruption of URLs used by activitypub at CDN/DNS level? How to make the new free social network resilient to any dictature controlling the internet communications (DNS, CDN,...)?

Well, it’s a lucky day 🍀. Our latest update contains a pot o’ gold for the Bluesky community especially. Take a look at what’s in this release, including linking your Bluesky account to Surf, a new Home Timeline that unifies your Bluesky and Mastodon, and Bluesky notifications in our app. 🦋

Continued thread

The AI agent-developed C++ #ActivityPub server now has about 2000 SLOC (all written by AI) and can process Follow/Accept and Create/Note (inbox/federated) and Create/Note delivery (outbox/C2S) with HTTP signatures and a good set of unit tests. Having the AI write unit tests has been key because it often creates regressions when adding features. The agents do a surprisingly good job of diagnosing compiler and unit test failures and fixing the problem automatically.

The UK Online Safety Act comes into effect today.

Its onerous duties may cause many small sites, blogs and fedi instances to shut down or geoblock UK users when faced with potential fines and penalties.

This won't keep children safe. It'll benefit large platforms like Facebook and X that are laying waste to content moderation.

Self-hostable Classified Ads software which is federated over Activity Pub. It Exists! cc @bounding_star

It's call Flohmarkt (German for Flea market) and describes itself as 'A decentral federated small ad posting platform'

Website: codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmar

From the README..
"flohmarkt provides its own http server that can be used stand-alone to show small ads that registered users may publish."

Seems you can make it so that sellers register via a free account providing email address.. and then buyers can make enquiries in what is a form of activity pub mastodon post called 'notes', seems to essentially support private messaging from interested folks back to the seller.

It's possible to boost/share item posts in mastodon too.
