Time may wait for no man, but #ThePlaylist will, because it understands that you're tired and need a few minutes to catch up.
Yes! Everyone's favourite #Fediverse radio show has been refreshed once more and is ready for you to enjoy every last minute of its glory. The theme this week:
Time
And my word, did we not have enough of it. But we selected only the finest cuts and made two glorious hours of radio.

It's been eight years to the day since Lance Ulanoff, the storied Tech and Social Media Expert and an award-winning tech journalist, decided that Mastodon won't survive because William Shatner couldn't find him on here.
Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives:

We're pleased to announce that #Hollo has been included in the Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund program!
The @nivenly Foundation has launched a security bounty fund to support contributors who identify and help fix #security vulnerabilities in popular #fediverse software. Both Hollo and @fedify are among the selected projects that meet their responsible security disclosure requirements.
This program will run from April–September 2025, with bounties of $250–$500 USD for high and critical security vulnerabilities.
We're honored to be recognized alongside other established fediverse projects like Mastodon, Misskey, and Lemmy. This further encourages our commitment to maintaining strong security practices.
If you're interested in contributing to Hollo's security, please follow our responsible disclosure process outlined in our SECURITY.md file.
Learn more about the program:

Wafrn, a tumblr adjacent fediverse platform, has added an opt-in feature that replaces mentions of "artificial intelligence" with "cocaine" in all posts on your personal timeline. Makes for some humorous reading.
This is the fediverse I know and love. Reminds me of some of the quirky stuff people built with AiScript on Forkey platforms.

Linux communities beware of #PewDiePie fans
Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.
Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.
Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.
A few things to be wary of:
People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.

After reviewing FEP-5624: Per-object reply control policies and GoToSocial's interaction policy spec, I find myself leaning toward the latter for long-term considerations, though both have merit.
FEP-5624 is admirably focused and simpler to implement, which I appreciate. However, #GoToSocial's approach seems to offer some architectural advantages:
The three-tier permission model (allow/require approval/deny) feels more flexible than binary allow/deny
Separating approval objects from interactions appears more secure against forgery
The explicit handling of edge cases (mentioned users, post authors) provides clearer semantics
The extensible framework allows for handling diverse interaction types, not just replies
I wonder if creating an #FEP that extracts GoToSocial's interaction policy design into a standalone standard might be worthwhile. It could potentially serve as a more comprehensive foundation for access control in #ActivityPub.
This is merely my initial impression though. I'd be curious to hear other developers' perspectives on these approaches.

There was that story last month about the Turks demanding that certain opposition Bluesky accounts be silenced. They were (mostly, sort of, it’s complicated). I dug into it and came away with an essay on what we want and don’t want concerning censorship or no-censorship and how well #Bluesky and the #Fediverse might give us that: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/04/28/Censoring-Social-Media
