Curious what happens on federated networks once a profile picture has been updated.
in reply to Nick Moline

Nothing apparently, at least not initially. Mastodon must cache third party profiles for a period of time.

Strips out the formatting, but still works. Ok, I like this, this works


So it seems if I want things to federate properly to Mastodon, I need to not have separate title and content, how about if I just put in content with no title, does that work?


How do fuller posts end up on federation


I'm curious how a fuller post (i.e. one with a title, etc) looks through federation.

I like the fediverse but I'm not sure I'm liking the mastodon software, I'll keep investigating

Other me here checking out a Friendica instance. I kinda like it, I like that it is PHP based, I like that it is less branded, I like that I can write longer posts, and I like that it supports multiple protocols in addition to ActivityPub.

Not a bad analysis of media manipulation. My only note would be he is over harsh on Wikipedia. Sometimes the information waters are muddied on that service, but they have plenty of systems in place to correct misinformation and dysinformation. They are still a reasonable first stop for finding useful resources. Just like any encyclopedia.

Wikipedia has LOTS of checks and balances these days, and I am a supporter of their work (my wife and I made our annual financial donation to them a few weeks ago to keep the servers running etc.).
