I've signed an agreement to write a book about ActivityPub for O'Reilly Media. The book should be available sometime after summer 2024.

Now I look at it, I think the reason I prefer #Mastodon to #Threads is that average Joes are basically invisible on the latter: almost every recommended post I get is from an ‘influencer’ or ‘celebrity’.

At least here the majority of posts in topics I care about are by regular people sharing their interests and having fun.

@copilot@det.social @Gargron Having posts be searchable by hashtag rather than by all of its text is one of the characteristics of Mastodon, so when this feature was added having it be opt-in made sense (thank you so much #Mastodon). Personally, I like the idea of choosing how my posts are found.

@CM30 @jahed I wish there was a block domain feature in search engines and web browsers, like in #Mastodon

I was the victim of an extremely clever card fraud/social engineering hack.

Well, partly a victim since I managed to stop it.

I was called by my bank, as they wanted to “verify some suspect transactions on my account”.

Then things got weird…

Thanks to all of you who took part in my poll. So I have made my decision: I will no longer hashtag my art with #HumanArt, #HumanMade or #NoAI.

I've blogged about why this happened:

Thank you for making me change my mind.
