   New post I made about Wordpress, the fedi booming, but also why I feel the fedi is going to keep growing.

     @m0xEE I mentioned this with bsky. Bsky is also pushing towards the same goal of "portable trackable identities".
     
     @mint has talked a bit about the hugbox side of the fedi before but the thing is, they are 100% incompatible with the idea of federation. They want another walled garden, they want another hugbox or echo chamber.
     
     The thing with people like that writer is they're "idea guys". Idea guys don't have power unless they're e-celebs. Give this clown is scared of gangstalkers, I am sure that he's gonna go nowhere.

     Excellent writeup! Some examples feature conservative and furry communities I know relatively little about, but are interesting nonetheless.
     However it's worth mentioning that there are those, already striving to break the interoperability granted by the AP protocol, not just sabotage it, but break away from it entirely — yes, of course in order to impose more censorship: whitelists (or should we call them accept-lists now?), real identities and all that.

     @leo People are divided on the singular identity thing these days. As much as wagie culture and eceleb culture (along with alphabet agencies) tends to reward that, a lot of people would rather be anon or not tied to IRL stuff. I don't want to be firstname lastname and I'd like to be able to shred this identity entirely when I am tired of using old baggage to fuck with the people who hold decade long grudges against people they've never met.
     
     Hence despite who is pushing for an abolishment of the real name policy for Linux and the like I'm all for it because I'd rather not have a wagie boss control my life.

     About some of the issues that face the fediverse, Hubzilla's efforts to push nomadic identity and the fact that more and more associations and companies (potentially not exclusively relying on one sole admin) set their own instances could partly mitigate them.

     @m0xEE @Pawlicker Isn't that just default emoji font in modern Windows? I think Firefox bundles its own, but everything Chromium-based falls back to it.

     @mint @Pawlicker @m0xEE if I could set custom emojis I'd set every website to use the old blobmojis

     @PurpCat @Pawlicker @m0xEE Seems to be falling back to twemoji on Linux.

     It is possible to set default emoji font family with fontconfig. I think Noto is used by default when it's installed, but I hate it and I've forced it to use Segoe UI Emoji, not the old one, with the black outline, but newer one. It's a bit different, but I like it so much that I have ripped it from Windows 11.
     There is an about:config var that sets the default emoji font in Firefox and by default it uses Twemoji, which comes with Firefox, but you can set it to whatever you want. And of course websites can use their own fonts, Element for some reason does this and forces Twemoji so I have to do a CSS injection with uBO to reset it back to Segoe UI Emoji😫
