As Plume isn’t maintained anymore, there are also a few ActivityPub plugins for WordPress which work very well.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•The Fediverse is the Left Wing Circle JerkEnglish
3·4 months agoStart your own instance, be the change you want to see in the world.
This right here is the beauty of the Fediverse. And as such, it’s not “The Fediverse” that’s a “Left Wing Circle Jerk”, it’s just the servers you’ve found so far.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Search sucks! Yeah, it does, and here's why.English
2·5 months agobut I didn’t use the word “flower”
Well, hopefully you’ve added an
ALTtext to the picture for all those visually challenged people out there - which then also helps search engines.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Ghost 6.0 releases next month with ActivityPub supportEnglish
33·6 months agoAt least WP is free, Ghost is as “free” until you find out its only useful with the rest of the payed platform. editorjs.io is much better in that sense.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Voyager changed the default instance to lemmy.zipEnglish
24·6 months agoIt’s not lemmy.zip that’s blocked in the UK, they (lemmy.zip) block every visitor from the UK as they don’t want to get in trouble for violating the UK’s Online Safety Act.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon.social shadowbanned me and there's no way to contact anyone about itEnglish
1·6 months agoIMHO, it’s one thing if you want to limit everything from there on your instance and on your own will, but a completely different thing for them to basically secretly ban you from their whole instance just because one single person on there felt offended and reported you. There surely must be something in between doing nothing and this sitewide shadowban.

31·6 months agoThat slogan was originally coined in 1848 by King Ludwig I. But as with many things, the nazis severely tainted it. (Even though it was used by the socialist party after WWII, too.)
There’s a whole German Wikipedia article about this.

§7 BVerfSchG:
Die Bundesregierung kann, wenn ein Angriff auf die verfassungsmäßige Ordnung des Bundes erfolgt, den obersten Landesbehörden die für die Zusammenarbeit der Länder mit dem Bund auf dem Gebiete des Verfassungsschutzes erforderlichen Weisungen erteilen.
or in English:
The federal government can, if there is an attack on the constitutional order of the Federation, give necessary orders to the highest Federal State authorities for working together with the Federation in terms of protection of the constitution.

21·6 months agoJust for transparency: The first link is the “old” report from 2021 which was public IIRC. The partA/partB links seem to point to the newer one - clearly showing the “VS - NUR FÜR DEN DIENSTGEBRAUCH” (“Verschlusssache” - confidential, official use only) at the top.

41·6 months agoKeyword: supposedly
Because that’s what it said in the report my instance has received. Somebody on the moderation team made the same mental gymnastics you did. Just because I’ve questioned the stated conclusion of a report that was kept secret from the public. Nothing else. Nowhere did I say that I support that party. I just don’t like blindly trusting what politicians (and their government institutions) announce without giving any challengeable proof.
Their status as extremist as per that report mentioned in my toot has been revoked/put on hold until a proper court case: German news article
If it was as crystal clear as you make it out, why revoke it?
(These days, the constitutional courts of all the states try to get that status reinstated in their respective states. But that wasn’t a thing back when I did this toot.)

5·6 months agoThey claim “usually within 24 hours”. 2 days later I still have no reply. But yeah, I might try the follow-up email… although I don’t have much confidence that it’ll do anything. It’s more important that people get to know the risks of these huge monolithic instances.

Oh, did he? He just stood there and claimed something. There was supposedly a great report with all the hard facts, but no one was allowed to see it. That’s not much different from “Yes, I did my homework, but then my dog ate it.”
(Correctly translated, btw.)

Wow! Just wow! You should sign up as a moderator on mastodon.social. You’d fit right in.
I’m waiting for somebody showing a Switch 2 running SteamOS on June 4…

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Thoughts on lightweight platforms like gotosocial?English
2·7 months agoOhh, SQLite isn’t “one” db. SQLite is file-based. I.e. a database in e.g. PostgreSQL (containing several tables, views, indexes, etc.) would translate to one SQLite file (e.g.
mydatabase.db3ormyappdata.sqlite). And each app has its own file/database. If the file corrupts, then it’s only affecting that specific app. (However, SQLite is pretty robust.) And since these are just files, you can backup them together with the application. No need to export data or shutdown the database first.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Thoughts on lightweight platforms like gotosocial?English
5·7 months agoVery happy with it. I’m running it with an SQLite database, so no extra database server is needed. And I’m using Elk as a frontend for when I don’t feel like using an app.

But will they continue to moderate content by German leftist standards?
