  • 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐤·​𝐩𝐮𝐩·​𝐩𝐞𝐭⁣/ˈ𝘴ɑː𝘬 ˌ𝘱ʌ𝘱.ɪ.𝘵𝘳𝘪/

    (n.) An online identity created, and used, for purposes of deception. A sockpuppet purports to be an independent party that supports, approves of, or agrees with some agent (a person, organization, agency, or state), but is in fact created and controlled by that agent, and has no independent existence. Common uses of sockpuppets include plausibly deniable hacking or information operations, provocation, and astroturfing (creation of the illusion of grassroots support).

  • The Wordpress Activity Pub plugin is on my TODO list. I opened some bug reports with them recently.

  • what happens if I die? what happens if my site goes down? what happens if a site is "protected" by cloudflare (and therefore makes the content inaccessible to at-risk folks)? what happens if a site has an authwall (and therefore is inaccessible to less-privileged folks)?

    I think it's important for us to federate content, not just links.

  • it's a lot of work, but basically I copy the html from wordpress into pandoc, convert it to markdown, and then do a lot of cleanup

    I didn't copy the whole post here because it's so much work, but I usually do when there's less images and my articles aren't likely to exceed the max char limit :)

  • Hi, Michael Altfield here. I was the sysadmin for OSE from 2017-2020.

    Everything OSE does is transparent, so you can just check the OSE websites to see what everyone is currently working-on. OSE contributors log their hours in a worklog called "OSE Dev". There you can quickly see who is working on what.

    The above graphs show 4 contributors in the past ~10 weeks (one is me; we had some issues with the apache config recently). There's no direct link, but you can then check the wiki to see people's work logs (just search for the person's name and Log):

    I also like to look at the MediaWiki "Recent Changes" page to peak at what people are up-to as well:

    I told Marcin about Lemmy back in June 2023. Another OSE contributor even created an OSE community on the slrpnk.net instance, but it appears to have been abandoned. I'll email him about this thread to see if he'll bite and publish updates in this community since there's clearly interest :)

    Also, shameless plug: I started an org that's very similar in spirit to OSE called Eco-Libre, with a focus on projects to sustainably enfranchise human rights in smaller communities. We're currently accepting volunteers ;)

  • Can you mention this in your article?

  • Personally I wouldn't run a lemmy instance because of this (and also many other concerns)

    I recommend [a] letting the lemmy devs know (eg on GitHub) that this issue is preventing you from running a lemmy instance and [b] donating to alternative projects that actually care about data privacy rights.

  • The fines usually are a percent of revenue or millions of Euros, whichever is higher.

    So if your revenue is 0 EUR then they can fine you the millions of Euros instead. The point of the “percent of revenue” alternative was for larger corporations that can get fined tens or hundreds of millions of Euros (or, as it happened to Meta, in some cases -- billions of Euros for a single GDPR violation).

  • That would be true if their instance wasn't federating. If the instance is federating, then it's downloading content from other users, even if the user isn't registered on the instance. And that content is publicly available.

    So if someone discovers their content on their instance and sends them a GDPR request (eg Erasure), then they are legally required to process it.
