Your Site, Your Rules: Filtering Fediverse Activity
When running a WordPress site with the ActivityPub plugin, you're not just managing a website—you're also operating a node in the Fediverse. This means you need effective tools to block unwanted activities, users, servers, and content from other instances across the network.

While this […]https://activitypub.blog/2025/05/12/your-site-your-rules-filtering-fediverse-activity/

EU prepares to give new rights to live streaming sites, to the detriment of the Internet and its users
At the heart of Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) lies the dispiriting saga of how the EU Copyright Directive came into being. It began in early 2013 with the usual “stakeholder dialogue”, in which the European Commission sought the views of the various constituencies affected. It generated an unprecedentedly large response that was surprising given the dry and […]

Even small prefigurative practices lately in response to the surge of "AI" being used to further the worst parts of the internet - user tracking & commodification. Lately I have been finding a lot of these types of domains targeting users. Added them to my long-running public blocklist: https://github.com/RooneyMcNibNug/pihole-stuff/blob/master/SNAFU.txt
Feel free to use it. I "dogfood" to ensure of no breakage. I don't want anything in return, but additions to the blocklist, issue reports, etc. are all welcome
We need to compost the vertical or the fluffy nasty
One of the problems of the current left/progressive paths is intolerance and dogmatic nastiness. This historically come from the hard vertical left in the 20th century. In the 21st century, it is more from our "fluffy" #fashionista crew and their pushing of hard #blocking for the last 20 years. It's a mess we always need to compost from the vertical or the fluffy nasty, what would non-nasty communication look like? It's a real and persistent issue in left/progressive spaces - a cycle where […]https://hamishcampbell.com/we-need-to-compost-the-vertical-or-the-fluffy-nasty/

The Seagull Knows: Notes on a Constipated Discipline
The opening moment of the workshop on Methodological Strategies for Real-Life Theorising was unintentionally profound. A story of a seagull crieing above the glass façade of the Blavatnik School of Government - a building that stands as a temple to the #deathcult of the last 40 years of #neoliberal culture. In hindsight, that seagull metaphor may have been the wisest participant at the event.The sessions that followed offered a painful reminder of just how entrenched and constipated […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-seagull-knows-notes-on-a-constipated-discipline/
@debby @DroidPort personally, I think the "optics" of leaving the #Fediverse are more important and are seen as silent confirmation of valid criticism.
Cuz even if I'd be annoying the shit out of @protonprivacy (and I doubt that!) there are ample of tools for them like #muting and #blocking.
