@dmian@mastodon.social @scottjenson@social.coop there’s a just kicking off UX research project (that Scott just became aware of) that is doing work on the best messaging for this.

You can choose your account host completely separate even from your app with ATProto, so it’s different.
@boris@cosocial.ca @dmian@mastodon.social @scottjenson@social.coop this is something that was designed into ActivityPub and has largely been ignored. We're doing a lot of work on it at the W3C SocialCG group.

Hey, Fediverse friends.
If you have been DMed by a random angry person asking you for favours related to me or the Social Web Foundation, please let me know by DM.
The same person is doing it to others in the Fediverse. I'd like to get it to stop.
I know that dealing with toxic behaviour is unpleasant but it's how we take care of each other.
Thanks.
#SocialWebFOSDEM if you're out in Brussels tonight, try to pass through À la Bécasse. I'll be there around 9 or 10. Not a scheduled or organized event; just a slightly higher probability of running into people from the Fediverse. Warning: it can get crowded! #fosdem2026
