nostr:npub137wzhhljlynmuj3g5vaykd3ywxwr5cddqg3s9pf52ye7zmmupmxsrp7g9r I did not know about it,Ty, that’s great!
nostr:npub1ldk3lajhsvstz8vjxa4avv6utvnlv8a8ujt4ykpes0p7ggeevyssus5msg I'm trying to explore what people do with ActivityPub that goes beyond microblogging. It seems it would be perfectly fine to have, say, "book" as a noun / ActivityPub object, to which AP activities could be applied. E.g. the vocabulary already defines a "read" activity. Bookwyrm could accept such activities from the outside, for example. (ignoring the "minor" question whether there are any apps that can generate that)
nostr:npub1ldk3lajhsvstz8vjxa4avv6utvnlv8a8ujt4ykpes0p7ggeevyssus5msg I have to have an account at bookwyrm.social for that, right?
nostr:npub1ldk3lajhsvstz8vjxa4avv6utvnlv8a8ujt4ykpes0p7ggeevyssus5msg Would you know what Bookwyrm does exactly with ActivityPub? Is it just a "publish" (so I can see new books as they get added in, perhaps) or does it "consume", too?
nostr:npub1kjr3c2ds3hxg2ekxf68a7ry3vydw7ztftlx4z74yuend90q78f0s94mwff Would you know what Funkwhale does exactly with ActivityPub? Is it just a "publish" (so I can see new audio tracks as they get added in, perhaps) or does it "consume", too?
What's a #Fediverse app that is as unlike Mastodon as possible?
Something that uses #ActivityPub but is as far away from #microblogging as one could think of?
#pixelfed is my kind of app. The only Linux distro they have specific installation instructions for is #archlinux :-)
Question of language: Is it
"... on the fediverse?" Like "I'm on the internet" in English, or
"... in the fediverse?" Like "I'm in the internet" in German.
E.g. "If you want to share interesting links, you do that on Reddit, or on/in the Fediverse with an app like Lemmy"
This spreadsheet is extremely strong evidence for the amazing amount of innovation that is happening in the #fediverse.
The variety and choice of apps that we have here is unheard of (and impossible!) in today's centralized social media products. And this is just Mastodon!
Next time you talk about the fediverse, in addition to no ads, no tracking, no crazy billionaires, and all the other points we tend to make, also say: and there's a lot more innovation.

nostr:npub1u27r9h3j9pvrplaffsmpn698e8xhmuqhdgcxldv67ammql9pumnqha3qfq Are you planning to go into the business? Or is this more general curiosity?
nostr:npub1a4tgkd6mnw6565svfaqvfsxj0auyt7gdagtterm2skxnwrtr3a9sp9q9yj See the link in the original post for context. The Fediverse has work to do. I'm not a server operator, but we do write software for it, so it does affect us at some point.

I've never tried it, but typically there are dummy/safe values for testing. Although I think a common approach for CSAM is just to feed all images to an API provider who gives you back a conclusion, in which case you test differently.
nostr:npub1a4tgkd6mnw6565svfaqvfsxj0auyt7gdagtterm2skxnwrtr3a9sp9q9yj But what does the API provider do? Relocate to outside the US?
nostr:npub1u27r9h3j9pvrplaffsmpn698e8xhmuqhdgcxldv67ammql9pumnqha3qfq I think the short answer is "hashing". See, e.g.:

https://www.thorn.org/reporting-child-sexual-abuse-content-shared-hash/
https://www.thorn.org/blog/hashing-detect-child-sex-abuse-imagery/
nostr:npub1a4tgkd6mnw6565svfaqvfsxj0auyt7gdagtterm2skxnwrtr3a9sp9q9yj and how are you supposed to test your hash algorithm?
nostr:npub1w7agf7akg5kqzjrc9ulhezf3c8n3v8q9vp6hkxatm6nfak6swzyqe9tpn3 asked the best question: "Does implementing [the CSAM] tools actually reduce occurrences?"
Answer from nostr:npub1jwpp9us55q4ap88hfmau9vhld09wcd6j4u0pxrmff3fwf9lcf9fqcrdfde: "people are still trading CSAM, but their ability is greatly reduced.... perceptual hashing is absolutely an effective solution"
That's good to know.
So possession of child pornography is illegal in the US even if your goal is to write code that can detect child pornography.
How does anybody solve this problem?
(Reading through the notes of today's SWICG's call on the subject https://github.com/swicg/meetings/tree/main/2023-08-04)
nostr:npub1u27r9h3j9pvrplaffsmpn698e8xhmuqhdgcxldv67ammql9pumnqha3qfq It's a good point, most admins are quite democratic but they are, in the end, benevolent autocrats.
You should consider writing a longer post about how one could apply the principles of commons management to the fediverse if you wanto to spark a discussion.
nostr:npub1967p6txpdl9s04tjvnl0lwmrluz2hdafz9shwrduewk7fkr4cujssqmndj One of the big challenges with that is that it's unclear how many Commons there are, or should be, that together comprise the Fediverse.
For example: is each independent instance a Commons on its own? Is each app a Commons on its own? Should it be? Or is the scope "all people who want to have the same moderation policies"? All people who signed the AntiMeta pact? The standards group defining ActivityPub? And if it's "all of the above", then how do/should all those Commons interact?
nostr:npub1u27r9h3j9pvrplaffsmpn698e8xhmuqhdgcxldv67ammql9pumnqha3qfq thank you! I'll look into whether that's possible..
nostr:npub16y5vmh0vp2lk3rnk0qdk9wr93jd6zmj90dqxmey55pj7t9m24f6s2pf369 Oh, it's possible :-) The Washington Post has links on the profile pages of all its journalists who have fediverse accounts, in case you need an example to make your case.
Not only that, they officially verify those accounts, there's a post where they describe this: https://washpost.engineering/heres-how-the-washington-post-verified-its-journalists-on-mastodon-7b5dbc96985c
