Share to Fedi Button Builder
Someone asked me if there was a share button for Friendica. I didn't really surprise me that I couldn't find one. I'd written one a while back for Mastodon, but it wouldn't connect to Friendica. I figured out why and rewrote my script so it can be extended to theoretically share to any Fediverse platform.
This is all done with JS on the client side. There's no proxy or connector service. I also set it up so you can load a minified script from a CDN.
Right now it only supports share buttons for Mastodon, any ActivityPub platform that uses the same post composer setup as Mastodon, and Friendica.
In fact, I shared this post you're reading right now using a button from the link below where you can configure buttons and grab the code you'd need to drop into your website.
randompenguin1.github.io/Share…
There is now an official Mastodon share button.
I like my implementation better.
This seems very...clunky.
Clunky to say the least, works with Mastodon and Mastodon alone, when it really isn't hard from the looks of it to support others... Well, one for all might be hard, but buttons for each service or compatible group.
Out of curiosity, how'd you get yours to work with both Mastodon and Friendica? If'n I plug my Friendica's instance into the either the official share button, or into that extension I mentioned, I get the same error, the extension solved this by having separate buttons for each.
With mine you do need to create separate buttons for Mastodon and Friendica, but the script handles either because the URL they send to the platform differs because of the page it calls and the names of the form fields it has to populate.
Mastodon's is like this:https://mastodon.server/share?text=Title Text%0A%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsharedpage.htm
Friendica's is like this:https://friendica.server/compose?mode=minimal&title=Title Text&body=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsharedpage.htm
My script uses a Share2Fedi class, so you just create an instance of that class for the platform and define the targetpage, titlefield,[b] and [b]bodyfield for the link constructor in the share() method.
So if you know what the name of the stand-alone compose page is for a platform, and you know the names of title field (if it has one) and the body field of the composition form, it should theoretically be possible to make it work with any platform.
@Kāpitan Mine uses /compose?mode=minimal because that mode minimal part means it only shows the compose form and none of the rest of the Friendica UI. Otherwise, in the small popup window it would show the mobile UI for the responsive themes, or a UI that doesn't fit for the older non-responsive ones.
Unfortunately once you submit your post there's no way to make it close the pop-up and load the full site in a new window, it will just refresh in that popup with the full site. 🙁. Of course that's not an issue if you set my script to open in a tab instead of a popup.

If Anthropic is right and AIs should be treated as people, then when given positions of power they should be held accountable and limited in the normal way. Wouldn't you agree?
They certainly act more like people than traditional computer software. Including making the same mistakes.
What's to say they won't make the same mistakes as human governors?

Have you wondered where the claim that autistic people lack empathy came from?
The “jellyfish” study (2011) was influential in this, as it concluded that autistic people lacked Theory of Mind & capacity for moral reasoning.
medicalxpress.com/news/2011-01…
In the fictional scenario given to participants, Janet tells a friend it’s safe to swim with jellyfish. She believes they’re harmless. The friend is stung and dies.

Neuroscientists find evidence that autistic patients have trouble understanding others' intentions
(PhysOrg.com) -- A study from MIT neuroscientists reveals that high-functioning autistic adults appear to have trouble using theory of mind to make moral judgments in certain situations.Anne Trafton (Medical Xpress)
Autistic participants were more likely than non-autistic participants to say Janet was to blame, despite her good intentions.
This was interpreted as evidence of faulty moral reasoning or reduced empathy.
But that conclusion rests on three errors of logic built into the task itself, and not on evidence that autistic people care less about others.
