If you are using WordPress, and you'd like to sync posts to the fediverse, as well as comments back to your blog, here's a new (beta) ActivityPub plugin for doing just that, by @pfefferle:
Via @nogoodtwts the amazing phrase “gaming surveillance systems in order to bend attention casinos to your will”, sharing @itsmeardenleigh’s post attempting to summon advertising https://twitter.com/Nogoodtwts/status/1353086161053478913
Do you want more people to notice your posts on Mastodon and the Fediverse?
✅ Use hashtags on your public posts if you want people to find them. For privacy reasons, the only way to search on Mastodon is by hashtag, so if there are no hashtags the posts will not appear in search results.
It is totally ok to use lots of hashtags if your posts deals with lots of different topics! Don't be embarassed to have a list of hashtags at the end 😄

FWIW though my name is mentioned, my main role in this particular document was answering clarifying questions about ActivityPub. This is really the hard work of Jay Graber, who put a ton of time and thoughtful energy into it.
What is great about meeting with note taking enthusiasts is that you get really good meeting notes!
I met with @flancian this morning, and he took notes in his [[Boris Mann]] page on his [[agora]].
I love that he captured my [[chicken fingers vs. tentacles]] quote. https://anagora.org/node/boris-mann
Lovely live call with @flancian this morning. Nice to “meet” over video, I even saw [[Ocel]].
We’re forming a [[squad]] to work on one or more [[stoa]] which we’ll have some notes to share and call for participation soon!

How can federated social media, with its plethora of domains and dozen or so software implementations, leverage social media icons?

Hmm. Tagging @viznut didn’t make it through posting. Thank you for sharing, a very thoughtful post.
I hope it introduces to many people the history of Eternal September and how that relates to today.
As tools of writing and sharing — and thoughtfulness — how would we redesign social media clients to go beyond entertainment?

We stopped in at Smith’s Bagelry today.
Bought fresh simit (pictured), as well as a slice of San Sebastián style gluten free cheesecake. A bit sweet for me, but light & fluffy. https://allthebest.recipes/t/smith-s-bagelry-turkish-canadian-bakery/308
Licorice ferns along one of the Pacific Spirit Park trails. Many good doggos out for a walk.
I got to pet a Bouvier.
