<p>In gaming, it is common for spammers to report legit accounts if they echoed back their own spam. We suspend them first to minimize the spam, go back to review it, and issue warnings if needed.</p><p>It&#x27;s the same in social media. Please refrain from echoing or &quot;revenge spamming&quot; a spammer. The spammers—and potentially non-spammers—will report you for spamming.</p><p>We then have to suspend your account to avoid further spams, and then go back later to review if you are indeed a spammer or engaging in &quot;revenge spamming&quot;.</p><p>- It is a hassle for you.<br>- It will be stressful once you receive a suspension email.<br>- It is also increasing our workload.<br>- It will paint your instance/community as &quot;bad&quot; or lacking moderation.</p><p>The only ones enjoying it are the spammers. They know they&#x27;ll get banned so they wreak havoc by confusing and stressing everyone.</p><p>---</p><p>I just so happen to be the type of moderator/GM in social media and the gaming industry who is reasonable, and takes the time to actually investigate. At least half in my line-of-work—voluntary or paid—are by-the-book. No investigation. If there&#x27;s evidence = ban hammer. Forget the context.</p><p>So, please do not engage in &quot;revenge spamming&quot;. Report the spammers and add them to your ignore list. We will get to your reports as soon as possible and suspend their accounts.</p><p>Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.</p><p>---</p><p>I believe I can say this is on behalf of all modertaors, admins, GMs, employees, and volunteers. 🖖🏽</p><p>Tags: <a href="/tags/moderation/" rel="tag">#moderation</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/socmed/" rel="tag">#socmed</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="/tags/sns/" rel="tag">#SNS</a> <a href="/tags/socialweb/" rel="tag">#SocialWeb</a> <a href="/tags/opensocial/" rel="tag">#OpenSocial</a></p>

<p>Ein Herausgeber der Fachzeitschrift ABI Technik hat mich gefragt: Welche Rolle können Bibliotheken im Fediversum spielen?</p><p>Ich finde, es ist ähnlich wie mit der Wikipedia: Wenn die Bibliotheken wollen, könnten sie an vielen Stellen eine tragende Rolle übernehmen. Sie haben qualifizierte Leute, und es würde ihrem Auftrag entsprechen.</p><p>Hier meine Vorschläge: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1515/abitech-2025-0033" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="doi.org/10.1515/abitech-2025-0033"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1515/abitech-2025-0</span><span class="invisible">033</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/bibliotheken/" rel="tag">#Bibliotheken</a> <a href="/tags/bibliothekswesen/" rel="tag">#Bibliothekswesen</a></p>

<p>Remember when “social media” was “social networking”?</p><p>What changed? That second word: media. It’s all about capturing your attention and selling you stuff.</p><p>Humans are social and want to connect with one another. That’s what makes the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> special to me - authentic connection. We haven’t forgotten the social part.</p>

<p>🎉 Huge shoutout to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@2chanhaeng" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>2chanhaeng</span></a></span> for implementing custom collection dispatchers in <a href="/tags/fedify/" rel="tag">#Fedify</a> through the Korean <a href="/tags/ossca/" rel="tag">#OSSCA</a> program!</p><p>This incredible contribution adds support for creating arbitrary collections beyond the built-in ones (e.g., outbox, inbox, following, followers). Now developers can expose custom collections like user bookmarks, post categories, or any grouped content through the <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> protocol:</p><p>federation .setCollectionDispatcher( &quot;bookmarks&quot;, Article, &quot;/users/{identifier}/bookmarks&quot;, async (ctx, values, cursor) =&gt; { const { posts, nextCursor } = await getBookmarkedPosts(values.identifier, cursor); return { items: posts, nextCursor }; } ) .setCounter(async (ctx, values) =&gt; getBookmarkCount(values.identifier) );</p><p>The implementation is technically excellent with full <a href="/tags/typescript/" rel="tag">#TypeScript</a> support, both Collection and OrderedCollection types, cursor-based pagination, authorization predicates, and zero breaking changes. <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@2chanhaeng" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>2chanhaeng</span></a></span> delivered not just code but a complete feature with 313 lines of comprehensive documentation, practical examples, and thorough test coverage.</p><p>This opens up countless possibilities for ActivityPub applications built with Fedify. From user-specific collections to complex categorization systems, developers now have the flexibility to create any type of custom collection while maintaining full ActivityPub compliance.</p><p>Thank you <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@2chanhaeng" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>2chanhaeng</span></a></span> for this outstanding contribution and to the OSSCA program for fostering such excellent open source collaboration! 🚀</p><p>Issue: <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/310" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/310"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/i</span><span class="invisible">ssues/310</span></a><br>Pull request: <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/332" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/332"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/p</span><span class="invisible">ull/332</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#opensource</a> <a href="/tags/fedidev/" rel="tag">#fedidev</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a></p>

<p>I think the <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> client-to-server API is extremely important and underrated. I’m glad to see the SWF and W3C group prioritizing it, because I think it has the potential to fix something that’s kind of broken on the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>: too many accounts, on too many platforms that really ought to be clients. </p><p>Here’s the rub, though: you need the big players in the space to support it. Mastodon needs to support it. Pixelfed and PeerTube need to support it. </p><p>So, how do you get the big existing projects to all implement it? How do you justify it?</p>
