My posts on Mastodon say that no one is permitted to quote-boosts my posts — yet I never made that choice.
(I'm actually OK with others quote-boosting my posts.)
I know enough to be aware this.
Most aren't.
A very large number of people have no idea that someone else made this choice for them.
I suspect the vast majority of them would have chosen the opposite.
I think Mastodon should have represented "user has not chosen" in the JSON-LD.

There are 2 Fediverse bots I wanted to introduce to each other — I thought it would be funny to have them talk to each other.
But, I am worried they will get stuck in an endless loop.

Somewhat recently I switched to using the FLX1s Linux phone (from an Android phone).
The FLX1s is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.
One thing that I find makes using it better is — having these 3 app stores installed:
• Software
• F-Droid
• Aurora Store

I switched my phone somewhat recently — from an Android phone to a FLX1s Linux Phone.
I am an early adopter — so there are some rough areas, but —
I am largely happy with the phone.
Especially given that it is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.
One nice thing though — for the apps where there is no Linux alternative, you can run (some) Android apps on it.

I visited the FuriLabs booth at FOSDEM 2026.
...
I showed them my FuriLabs FLX1s phone 🙂
...
I actually caused an issue with my FLX1s. @fakeshell@fosstodon.org on the @furilabs@fosstodon.org team fixed it!
Thank you @fakeshell@fosstodon.org !!

On stage now, @django@social.coop — arguing for widespread adoption of ActivityPub client-server (C2S) protocol.
I agree with him.
At the very least, to make extension of ActivityPub through JSON-LD namespaces possible.
But also to decouple Fediverse client development from Fediverse server development.
And more.

Day 2 in Brussels (for this trip). I think I have adjusted enough to the time-zone change that I will be (mostly) awake for FOSDEM 2026 — which takes place this weekend.
Tomorrow (Saturday) is the first day of FOSDEM 2026. I will be attending the Social Web track.

It was mentioned by @swart@cosocial.ca that there is a petition to get the Canadian gov't off of X.
https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5359
He then suggested, maybe we can get them onto the Fediverse?
