BattalionDestroying Autocracy – May 08, 2025Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.DA comes out on Thursday and is updated through the end of day on Friday. Then we start over. So take your time in perusing it and check back in over the weekend.FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.

But not <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=mbin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mbin</a>, which actually offers exactly this combination, and also not <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Friendica</a>, which can do micro-/macroblogging, but also offers forums/groups and events and federates best with both directions.<a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>

Featured Item(s) Cory Doctorow writes:The point of AI isn’t to make workers more productive, it’s to make them weaker when they bargain with their bosses.Tech workers are workers, and they once held the line against enshittification, refusing to break the things they’d built for their bosses in meaningless all-nighters motivated by vocational awe. Long after tech bosses were able to buy all their competitors, capture their regulators, and expand IP law to neutralize the threat of innovative, interoperable products like alternative app stores, ad-blockers and jailbreaking kits, tech workers held the line.There’ve been half a million US tech layoff since 2023. Tech workers’ scarcity-derived power has been vaporized. Tech workers can avoid the fate of the factory, warehouse and delivery workers their bosses literally work to death — but only by unionizing.In other words, the workers in re-shored factories and tech workers need the same thing. They are class allies — and tech bosses are their class enemies.

julianNodeBB v4.3.0 — Remote Categories are a go! We're happy to announce the release of NodeBB v4.3.0, which contains native support for remote categories, bringing better integration with other NodeBB forums, WordPress, Lemmy, PieFed, mbin, and other "group-based" implementors on the ActivityPub network! What does this mean? :thinking_face: It means that starting with this release, you will be able to "browse" to other categories simply by searching for them in your <code>/world</code> page. Just like with regular categories, you can "track" or "watch" remote categories — the former will show up in your <code>/unread</code> page, and the latter will also send notifications on new topics. Prior to this change, remote categories were rendered just like regular users, and there was some confusion over who was a user and who was a publisher. The integration with blog platforms like WordPress also mean you'll be able to use NodeBB kind of like a feed reader, with built-in notifications when new content is received. We're hoping to also extend this to support Ghost as well :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed: Some examples of categories loaded remotely in this NodeBB: <ul> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/fediverse@piefed.social" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"Fediverse" on piefed.social (running Piefed)</a> — <code>@fediverse@piefed.social</code></li> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/protocol@socialhub.activitypub.rocks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"ActivityPub Protocol" on SocialHub (running Discourse)</a> — <code>@protocol@socialhub.activitypub.rocks</code></li> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/blog@vivaldi.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vivaldi Browser Blog (running WordPress)</a> — <code>@blog@vivaldi.com</code></li> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/news@community.openbeta.io" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"General Climbing News" on community.openbeta.io (running NodeBB)</a> — <code>@news@community.openbeta.io</code></li> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/fedimemes@feddit.uk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse memes (running Lemmy)</a> — <code>@fedimemes@feddit.uk</code></li> </ul> Other notable changes in v4.3.0 Chat allow/deny list :left_speech_bubble: There was some desire for more fine-grained support for allow/deny lists for the chat system. This is now available in v4.3.0. Per <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/user/baris" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@baris</a>: <blockquote> Leaving allow list empty would mean anyone who is not in deny list can message you. Leaving deny list empty would mean anyone who is in allow list can message you. If both are empty everyone can message you. Current restrictChat toggle can be turned into a toggle to disable chat completely. Upgrade script can add the users following to the allow list if they have restrictChat turned on. </blockquote> Show number of topic watchers :eyes: You are now able to see the number of users watching a specific topic alongside the existing stats (posts, views, etc.) Accessibility updates <ul> <li>Avatar background colours are now selectable via keyboard navigation</li> <li>Post drafts are now accessible via keyboard navigation</li> </ul> ... and of course <ul> <li>Bug fixes and security updates</li> </ul> <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/post/104357" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://community.nodebb.org/post/104357</a>

juliantl;dr — you can now find remote categories and see your tracked/watched categories in <code>/world</code>. A new alpha version of NodeBB was tagged today: v4.3.0-alpha.3. The biggest change is to the <code>/world</code> route, which up until now showed a list of topics from outside of the local NodeBB instance. New to this alpha release: <ol> <li>A quick search widget was added, allowing you to directly search for remote categories. There is no need to navigate to to the search page to discover new categories.</li> <li>Your list of tracked and watched categories will show at the top of the page. <ul> <li>"Tracking" and "Watching" categories—both local and remote—is how content discovery happens in NodeBB. Tracked categories will have new content show up in the "unread" page, while watched categories take that a step further and notify you when new content is posted.</li> <li>Tracking and watching a category will tell NodeBB to subscribe to that remote community for updates</li> </ul> </li> </ol> At this time we're continuing to look for stability issues with the remote category integration. We'll be working on QoL fixes as we move into the beta phase this/next week.

Anders_SStorföretagens entré Storföretagens entré. Det första kommersiella storföretag som intresserade sig för Fediversum var Facebooks ägare Meta. De lanserade ett alternativ till X (Twitter) under 2023 som de kallar Threads. Vid starten deklarerade de också att de skulle utvecklas stöd för ActivityPub i programvaran. Detta besked har vållat en massa diskussion i Fediversum och ett initiativ togs för att blockera Threads redan innan det implementerat ActivityPub. Initiativet som kallas Fedipact lanserades […] <a href="https://fedinyheter.nyhetskartan.se/storforetagens-entre/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedinyheter.nyhetskartan.se/storforetagens-entre/</a>

100% TAX ✅ ✅<a href="https://community.nodebb.org/user/baris" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@baris</a> I'm an excited user about the fediverse that was testing out try.nodebb.org and did some tests and liked it!Even this is sort of a test but also a post about myself being a "NodeBB User", a federated user. Perhaps the line gets blurred when we are all in the fediverse.I've been impressed so far by NodeBB and only recently *also* realized you are a FLOSS GPLv3 project.My emotional state: speechless<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NodeBB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/speechless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#speechless</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GPLv3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPLv3</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FediUser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediUser</a>

100% TAX ✅ ✅Forget ghost!NodeBB is not only FLOSS, it's also a great federated forum software!Just look up julian@community.nodebb.org This is a profile on NodeBB but you can watch so many posts and if you select "Open original page" it will take you to the forum and make Mastodon and the fedi look nice!I feel like NodeBB could be the next Mastodon!It's amazing!<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FLOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FLOSS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NodeBB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheNextMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheNextMastodon</a>
