Florian 'floe' Echtler<p>You know how all these "data takeout" tools from Google and Facebook and so on take ages to create a little Zip file with your content, and email you a few hours later when it's done? I've always wondered what's so complex about that, it should be mostly the same database query as for your profile page...</p><p>Just had an idea: what if this is intentional and a purely a artificial delay to prevent people from using it as a sort of realtime feed? 🤔</p><p><a href="https://hci.social/tags/decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://hci.social/tags/faang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>faang</span></a></p>

Stefano Marinelli<p>On 14h July (though it was already the 15th here), some of my monitoring jails started throwing errors. Not all of them, though. On the same host, an Uptime Kuma instance was showing a ton of servers down, while LibreNMS wasn't displaying any issues. After investigating, I discovered why. The jail running LibreNMS was using local_unbound (integrated into FreeBSD), while the other, perhaps for speed, was using Cloudflare's DNS.</p><p>DNS is like email, the Fediverse, and other similar services: they work better and make us freer when they're decentralized.</p><p>Let's go back to decentralizing the internet.

Roni Laukkarinen<p>I've been following ATProto's development from the sidelines since 2022, but I somehow missed this great take by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.coop/@eloquence" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>eloquence</span></a></span> on Bluesky interoperability with Mastodon and ActivityPub: <a href="https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/1716" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/bluesky-social/atpr</span><span class="invisible">oto/discussions/1716</span></a></p><p>"We currently have two emerging alternatives to X that deserve to be taken seriously: the fediverse and BlueSky. The fediverse tends to attract folks who highly value open source in principle and practice; BlueSky tends to attract folks who are looking for a drop-in Twitter replacement.</p><p>In this context, I would argue that a clear commitment from the key parties (that includes @Gargron's Mastodon gGmbH and Bluesky the company) towards an interoperable social web is essential. We should be able to follow each other no matter where we decide to make our social media home. Even Mark Zuckerberg's Threads has at least made a commitment towards interoperability."</p><p>It's a good read. Year after year, it feels like ATProto and ActivityPub, Bluesky and Mastodon, couldn't be further apart. Even Nostr and WordPress support ActivityPub. We're seeing more servers and clients in the Fediverse adopting ActivityPub. As far as I know, 99% of ATProto is still powered by Bluesky's main server, which makes it not very decentralized. I wonder why anyone would want to set up a server for ATProto when ActivityPub is so much more widely used.</p><p>I see Bluesky and ATProto's future as just another private company, like the rest. It's easy to pretend decentralization and open source just for marketing.</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bluesky</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ATProto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ATProto</span></a></p>

The BadgeFed Project<p>Hey Fediverse! 👋</p>
<p>We just wrapped up an amazing FediForum June 2025 a week ago, and BadgeFed was right in the thick of it! Here’s a recap of what we did, what we learned, and what’s next for decentralized badges.</p>
<p><strong>BadgeFed at FediForum: Unconferences & Speed Demos</strong></p>
<p>BadgeFed had the honor of presenting and hosting <strong>two unconference sessions</strong> and showing off our work in <strong>one speed demo slots</strong> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TBJpaqZ7Ng" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">watch the demo</a>). The energy was fantastic; lots of curiosity, sharp questions, and a real hunger for open standards in the credentialing space.</p>
<p><strong>Community Feedback: Standards, Docs, and Openness</strong></p>
<p>A big theme at FediForum was <strong>specs and open standards</strong>. We’re right there with you! That’s why we’ve enhanced our <a href="https://github.com/tryvocalcat/badgefed/blob/main/DETAILS.md" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">technical documentation</a> to explain exactly how BadgeFed uses <strong>ActivityPub</strong> and <strong>OpenBadges</strong> together:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Issuers are ActivityPub actors</strong>, each instance can federate and follow others.</li>
<li><strong>Badges are ActivityPub Notes</strong> with OpenBadge 2.1 attachments for maximum compatibility and verifiability.</li>
<li><strong>Strict linking</strong> between issuer and badge, and between badge and recipient, to prevent spoofing.</li>
<li><strong>Signature validation</strong> for both ActivityPub and OpenBadge data.</li>
<li><strong>Federation</strong>: badges propagate via follows, and a special announcer actor helps with discoverability.</li>
<li><strong>Comments and interactions</strong>: badges can be discussed and shared across the Fediverse.</li>
</ul>
<p>Read more in our <a href="https://github.com/tryvocalcat/badgefed/blob/main/DETAILS.md" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DETAILS.md</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Making BadgeFed Easier to Try</strong></p>
<p>We heard you: people want to try BadgeFed! Right now, it’s a solo setup (one admin, one Docker container), but we’re working hard to make it easier for others to deploy, configure, and even federate their own instances. Stay tuned for updates on multi-admin support and streamlined onboarding.</p>
<p><strong>Feedback: Discoverability vs. Spam</strong></p>
<p>One of the most important pieces of feedback we received was about <strong>badge discoverability vs. timeline spam</strong> (<a href="https://github.com/tryvocalcat/badgefed/issues/11" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">see the issue</a>). We want badges to be easy to find and share, but we also don’t want to flood the Fediverse with unwanted posts. This is now our <strong>top priority</strong>, we’re rethinking how verbose BadgeFed should be, and exploring opt-in/opt-out models for badge visibility and hashtag use.</p>
<p><strong>What’s Next: Embedding & Profile Badges</strong></p>
<p>We’re also working on ways to let you <strong>embed badges in your blog</strong> or <strong>add them to your Mastodon profile</strong>. More news on that soon!</p>
<p>FediForum was a fantastic experience, huge thanks to everyone who attended, gave feedback, and showed interest in decentralized credentials. Let’s keep building a more open, verifiable, and user-empowered Fediverse!</p>
