#tagspub — Public Fediverse posts

Z nějakého důvodu mi až dosud minula #tagspub kontroverze. Nápad udělat z úplně každého hashtagu kanál, který si jde subscribnout opravdu důkladně, ne jako když jen hashtag tak náhodou proletí okolo, je samozřejmě zajímavý; existující Fediverse infrastruktura na něj ovšem není připravena a jeví se částečně jako spam (ne, že by tu podobné pokusy proměnit hashtagy v botem boostovaný "channel" nebyly už předtím... ovšem byly zřejmě méně důsledné, pokud jde o boostovaní obsahu od uživatelů, kteří je nefollowují...)

Obecně mechanismy pro dobrovolné zvýšení jak "dosahu", tak i jakéhosi "dohledu", zvýšení prozkoumatelnosti celé Fediverse, jsou zajímavé. Ale pokud se budou chovat jako veřejná interakce se všemi důsledky, budou budit odpor. Mechanismy pro followování hashtagů v sobě Mastodon má. Spíše než konverzi hashtagů v "channels" tedy potřebujeme nevidtelný mechanismus scanování federované cache napříč instancemi, i za cenu nižší životnosti takto federovaných příspěvků. Výhodou by byla anonymita followování hashtagů, kterou followování "kanálů" nenabízí...

Problém je, že nevím, jak přesně zabudované followování hashtagů funguje a kdy přesně dochází k federování i nefollowaného obsahu z jiných instancí (že k němu dochází, to jsem si po 3 letech provozu instance víceméně jistý, ale logiku pořád plně nechápu).

La polemica verso il servizio tags.pub è oggettivamente giustificata: e voi cosa ne pensate?

tags.pub, il "relay/bot di hashtag globali" pensato dalla Social Web Foundation, non è stato affatto accolto positivamente da tutti gli utenti del Fediverso. E anche a noi non fa impazzire. Voi cosa ne pensate?

would it be possible to have my server subscribed to another server/bot that goes around indexing every hash tagged post such that when I click on or search for any hashtag, almost everything shows up?

I kinda liked (and used!) #TagsPub when it was #OptIn tbh but the #notifications are annoying either way... what if I silence the instance?

@heluecht I wanted to let you know that tags.pub hashtag feed pages are now marked nofollow,noindex. You mentioned it a few days ago, and I added it yesterday. Thanks for the note, and please feel free to let me know if you have other ideas or issues. #tagspub

@evan If Alice wants these hashtags not to be shared by #tagspub, it's entirely reasonable to remove those feeds. But I think you'll need to establish a general rule, and I'm not sure what that would be...

Maybe something like: "If a hashtag is rarely used outside a small group, then members of the group may make a request and tags.pub will generally remove the feed for that hashtag."

Not sure what you'd do if a small group uses the tag, and some want the feed down, others want it to stay up.

On this show, I play a song from Rain Garden; I think a lot about people who live in those remote houses on the highway; there is a power in living somewhere cheap; I feel jealous of people older than me that still have living parents; I got most angry at my dad for not being alive when my child was born; in a weird way, you only become your true self when all your parents are dead; it's unlikely any two of the millions of podcasts have the same workflow; every family is its own weird cult; my father arguing with me about the math of permutations was a big event; if I need an account to read your article then I ain't reading it; I am intrigued by balcony solar; even without storage solar helps with heat waves; tags.pub had a weird pushback; I just block people who bug me and I don't feel bad about it; I fixed my Forgejo action runner on a machine it never previously worked on because I forgot I was fixing the wrong machine.

Considering the #TagsPub mess and the fact that it's made by a co-creator of the #ActivityPub protocol: is AP fundamentally incapable of doing consent by default and if so, how to replace it by a private-by-default protocol where every interaction must be authorized by all parts?

@cwebber @dweb yes! I am doing a workshop on programming with the #ActivityPubAPI, and another intro to #ActivityPub. I'm going to try to demo #tagspub too.

@alice I've denylisted these personal hashtags on #tagspub you asked about:

bunnyalice,captchalice,alicepics

Also, the @AltAfterDark ones:

altafterdark,accessibilityishotaf,hotalt4me,hotalt4u,promoafterdark

There are now no feeds on tags.pub for those hashtags, and if content with those hashtags is received from anyone, not just you, it won't be boosted.

Please let me know if you think of any others.
