if julian assange were to be on fedi would the server he joins be able to handle it? or do u think he is already on fedi....and just anonymous because identifying oneself is overrated.
find you on

- Bug in mitra #3
- when searching if you leave off the hashtag it doesn't suggest searching with hashtag
- Bug in mitra #4
- hashtags with a comma (,) apostrophy ('), quote("), dashes like (-) and other characters directly after become broken and dont become hashtags at all, instead the hashtag ought terminate at those characters
- Bug in mitra #5
- #hashtags aren't working in the bio.
- Bug in mitra #6
- If disconnected and click on "View Conversation" the error is "Post not found" rather than "Network Error", unfortunately "Post Not Found" can be mistaken for a bug at the server or that the person receiving the error has been blocked. Highly recommend fixing to avoid needless confusion and UX pitfall.
- Compatablity for mitra #1
- SVG buttons in UI not showing when using Tor Browser the old-fashioned way via enabling javascript via NoScript addon (to reproduce use tor browser in safest mode and put NoScript in the browsers top toolbar, then enable javascript using noScript)
- Feature for mitra #1
- BloatFE tells me how long ago a person reacted to my post. It does this after the name of the person in regular (non-bold) text, it would be nice if Mitra's interface did the same.
- Feature for mitra #2
- "Interactions with X" (user) would show my past Likes Boosts and converstions with @x@y.blah
- Thanks mitra devs
- 💚

thanks silverpill
the last blog post for #forgeFed was in jan last year, its as if nothing continues without me, lol.
https://forgefed.org/blog/networked-actors/
i skimmed it and it talks about testing some goose messaging protocol, getting federation actually working, praising NLnet for some funding, says the funding has been spent, and one of the last (ominous) things mentioned is going on a matrix throws up in mouth server being gatekept by cloudFlare.
after that its basically a black hole on the blog, the codeberg seems active till jun last yeat https://codeberg.org/ForgeFed
did funding dry up, did @pepe get sucked into a cloudFlare vaccuum of death???
sorry to see the forgeFed project not forging ahead, had hopes for that one @p @silverpill
maybe i need to show some very public enthusiasm for microshaft or something 😉
Book chapter on Taler as sCBDC technology (the 's' meaning synthetic)
ive not read the chapter yet but that seems like a dumb distinction.... why not just sDC (ie. synthetic digital currency). why conflate it with central banks? found the link via gnu's rss feed. dear @gabriel u might be interested.
rms has been suggesting the use of #gnuTaler for a looong time as just a way to help pay for things digitally in a more private way, eg not having to give a credit/debit card, name, address etc. and its a fine use case, iirc #taler is even supported by #btcPayServer lol. i must admit i'm more #fedimint inclined, but for people who just want to interface with a boring (ideally bitcoin-backed) local bank, i dont see any issue with taler, the main hurdle are the trashy "smart"phone themselves not allowing ethical libre firmwares and user freedom.
This site, which is dedicated to an alleged free software community in China, is hosted on servers in Germany. It is being mirrored on i2p (fsfans.i2p), im guessing, without the express knowlegde or permission of the webmaster (William Goodspeed?). One of the more delightful pages is this one https://learn.fsfans.club/
(the learn.* subdomain is not being mirrored on i2p)
Anyway the last post on the site was made in nov last year (2025) and Goodspeed explains with BRILLIANT CLARITY some of the issues facing the free software community, and that they are moving to hosting a fediverse server instead. Interestingly they chose a PieFed instance and according to the post they can only federate with other #PieFed or #Lemmy instances (?). I was super curious so I went to visit their instance only to find that the certificate was only for samsung domains?!
Beyond that point of course I expect that the site is broken, and true to form, fetching pages doesnt work and errors on the page reference an akamai domain (errors.edgesuite.net). For those playing along at home akamai is the last 'A' in the techno-fascists acronym CAGeMAFiA. but to be honest anything beyond the certificate issue is not important, just a curiousity.
can anyone shed light on what happened to this instanve? I was not on fedi at the time, having my 19 month forced-by-circumstance hiatus, lol @p @r @gabriel @rms @silverpill ?? if not i invite u to ingore this post completely.

@nimda @silverpill in fact i'm going to assume that is the expoit. an end user can mathematically adapt the svg in realtime, moving a slider such that at some point along the slider the text or svg image for that matter reads to a human. if the text is never delivered in a human readable way then it prevents bots from ever learning from the content. in fact id say it would be a very good use of technology to defeat bots, lol. but it also means you will not be able to copy paste it, also.

@nimda @silverpill in conclusion, until svg are considered safe by Tor devs, we need (my recommendation) unicode fallbacks in mitra, for svg. Sad but true.
(I have tried talking to Tor devs on this issue but they for whatever reason (same as above??) do not care to identify why svg could be unsafe. It MAY be a social engineering exploit rather than a computer based exploit ie. malicious websites hiding their words from search and scraping tools by drawing the letters manually with svg???)
Hi @nimda Why might no posts be appearing for the @i2p@mast(er)don.social account? I follow them now (only so i can find the post where they annouce the changover to their cloudfed website, then i will unfollow). is this instance denied their posts? masterdon.social and masterdon.online and many in the bofficial masterdon family are Fastly now.
i find it interesting that i got not a single interaction/proof-of-visability from an insight i gave to a davidrevoy@masterdon.onilne post the other day.
Fastly are likely sith now, tbh....can probably put them in the same category as CAGeMAFFiA (two 'F's)
