Today we're launching a new #Mastodon feature that will highlight writers and journalists that are active on the fediverse when their their articles are being shared.

@Flipboard Added a comment about it: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…

It’s sad to not see more cooperation between #Mastodon / #Fediverse and #IndieWeb

The latter is focused on social semantics for the web and the former for social semantics for ActivityPub – when the two overlap they should coordinate – and articles are very much web pages and something the #IndieWeb knows best practices around

Thanks, wonderful idea!
Let's implement this for research articles as well. Could be implemented for anything which is being linked by its DOI-address? 🤔
In the long run: once @ORCID_Org offers a specific field for researchers' Fediverse handles (like what we at @tibosl already did for VIVO), that handle can be fetched by means of DOI/ORCID metadata.

@juancommander @d2ns @Lambo @tibosl @PublicKnowledgeProject We've also prototyped ORCID Single Sign-On (SSO) integration for Bonfire, along with a feature that automatically fetches and displays research papers from a user's ORCID account in a dedicated tab on their profile. More here: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/open…
Currently co-designing more features with a network of scientists @open_science and keen to collaborate with existing efforts 😀

@gamingonlinux Mastodon is getting the crap beaten out of it by Threads and BluSky because they have basic features that we're missing, like onboarding and quote posts.

Helping journalists (most of whom aren't even on this platform) get credit for articles where they can already put their mastodon handle at the bottom seems to me to be a strange allocation of resources.

> Of course, it’s also part of Mastodon’s API, so we expect to see support among the vast array of third party apps for Mastodon as well.

This is very cool.

Here's an extremely quick-and-dirty way to get this new Mastodon author OpenGraph meta tag on your #WordPress site.

Note that this currently only works for pre-approved domains, so you won't see your little author icon chip just yet.

This is a great feature.

You should also add a warning under the links of inadequate media: "this media outlet is funded by a totalitarian state and often spreads disinformation, read euvsdisinfo.eu/learn/" or something like that. Of course, the administrator (or user) can disable such notifications.

We also need mobile apps to publish posts when the user has a bad internet connection. Now the post can get stuck loading and disappear forever

bonjour m. @paul_denton

Une nouvelle fonction à destination des média.

Peut être une meilleure visibilité pour vous.

> To prevent potential abuse (malicious websites could "frame" unknowing users by listing them as authors) this feature will only be available to publishers that have been approved for trending by each server's moderation team.

So your admin needs to approve the domain for trending (/admin/trends/links/publishers)

Hopefully this encourages independent journalists who use Threads now to join an actual Mastodon instance. As it stands now, the people who operate Threads filter the content from some journalists they personally don't like. Seth Abramson is an example of one they have silenced. His posts don't make their way to Mastodon anymore.

Zuck is an asshole.
