    @lnxw48a1 lol thanks. No need to mention everyone. I've set this account up in Choqok. It's wonderful but, unfortunately it makes that not-yet mobile friendly theme you mentioned irrelevant! And yes, been working on some upgrades now that I've got time for things again....

    !gs I'm really digging Choqok v1.7 under KDE Plasma & lxqt. It's got enough features and I'm learning more every time I use it.

    I always get nervous when I reboot after major updates. I made sure I had most .non-config files uploaded to my #Spideroak cloud storage. Hopefully I won't need them in a few minutes!

    I'm sure many of you have heard about something going on with #section230 by now. Unsurprisingly, the #EFF has some good information on it.

    1. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act
       47 U.S.C. § 230, a Provision of the Communication Decency Act Tucked inside the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996 is one of the most valuable tools for protecting freedom of expression and innovation on the Internet: Section 230. This comes somewhat as a surprise, since the original purpose of the legislation was to restrict free speech on the Internet. The Internet community as a whole objected strongly to the Communications Decency Act, and with EFF's help, the anti-free speech provisions were struck down by the Supreme Court. But thankfully, CDA 230 remains and in the years since has far outshone the rest of the law. Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (47 U.S.C. § 230). In other words, online intermediaries that host or republish speech are protected against a range of laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what others say and do. The protected intermediaries include not only regular Internet Service Providers (ISPs), but also a range of "interactive computer service providers," including basically any online service that publishes third-party content. Though there are important exceptions for certain criminal and intellectual property-based claims, CDA 230 creates a broad protection that has allowed innovation and free speech online to flourish. This legal and policy framework has allowed for YouTube and Vimeo users to upload their own videos, Amazon and Yelp to offer countless user reviews, craigslist to host classified ads, and Facebook and Twitter to offer social networking to hundreds of millions of Internet users. Given the sheer size of user-generated websites (for example, Facebook alone has more than 1 billion users, and YouTube users upload 100 hours of video every minute), it would be infeasible for online intermediaries to prevent objectionable content from cropping up on their site. Rather than face potential liability for their users' actions, most would likely not host any user content at all or would need to protect themselves by being actively engaged in censoring what we say, what we see, and what we do online. In short, CDA 230 is perhaps the most influential law to protect the kind of innovation that has allowed the Internet to thrive since 1996. Click here for our infographic about the importance of CDA 230. CDA 230 also offers its legal shield to bloggers who act as intermediaries by hosting comments on their blogs. Under the law, bloggers are not liable for comments left by readers, the work of guest bloggers, tips sent via email, or information received through RSS feeds. This legal protection can still hold even if a blogger is aware of the objectionable content or makes editorial judgments. The legal protections provided by CDA 230 are unique to U.S. law; European nations, Canada, Japan, and the vast majority of other countries do not have similar statutes on the books. While these countries have high levels of Internet access, most prominent online services are based in the United States. This is in part because CDA 230 makes the U.S. a safe haven for websites that want to provide a platform for controversial or political speech and a legal environment favorable to free expression. EFF works to ensure strong legal protections for Internet intermediaries and endeavors to fight threats that would weaken such protections for intermediaries and users. We realize that a combination of technology policy and law protecting intermediaries ultimately helps uphold freedom of speech online. NOTE: This summary of CDA 230 isn't a substitute for, nor does it constitute, legal advice. Only an attorney who knows the details of your particular situation can provide the kind of advice you need if you're being threatened with a lawsuit. The goal of these pages is to give you a basic roadmap to the legal issues surrounding the interactive computer services covered by CDA 230.
    2. Don’t Blame Section 230 for Big Tech’s Failures. Blame Big Tech.
      from Elliot Harmon
      Next time you hear someone blame Section 230 for a problem with social media platforms, ask yourself two questions: first, was this problem actually caused by Section 230? Second, would weakening Section 230 solve the problem? Politicians and commentators on both sides of the aisle frequently blame...

    FediDB will only succeed with the support of other implementations.

    I look forward to working with other implementations to steward the project in the right direction!

    It’s up!

    Recorded together with @fluffy and @jamey , it will hit the main feed Tuesday in two weeks.

    When serving most RSS/Atom feed readers today, you have to choose: Do you make a complete feed with all the things you ever published, or do you make a shorter feed with just the latest entries?

    This is a trade-off with pros and cons, and it seems like a trade-off you have to make, but a solution to let your Atom feed have the cake and eat it too existed already 13 years ago, if only any of our feed readers would adhere to it: RFC 5005, Feed Paging and Archiving

    I feel like it seems I hate GS.. lol. I don't, I swear! It's just that I'm full of ideas and have much time to think.
    Besides, this is mostly all stuff I've seen on other sites/boards/forums. I think these ideas are all different from the other popular fediverse sites. Hopefully they incorporate support if necessary and this all makes GS stand out from the rest and gain in popularity. :D

    Fair point. I can think of only a couple things I'd need to do with JS. Mostly, I'd want to contribute to GNU Social & GNU FM along with a few other projects https://thefreaks.club uses.
