Today I'm launching Thought Shrapnel Daily:
https://thoughtshrapnel.com/daily
How it works:
1. Posts will initially be available to supporters
2. Then available a week later on the open web
3. Thought Shrapnel Weekly provides a digest of open web posts
ASK ME QUESTIONS and I'll answer them on 💥Thought Shrapnel on Wednesday.
Everything from the sublime to the ridiculous welcome. Last week's example: https://thoughtshrapnel.com/2019/06/20/random/

I find the need individuals and organisations have for 'awards' a bit ridiculous.
Perhaps anyone who puts themselves forward for an award (or agitates for one) should be offered some counselling instead?

Gab will join the Fediverse next month, and we at @forktogether want to be prepared.
ActivityPub is known to be leaky, so we'd like to take further measures than just suspending Gab's known domains by default.
If you know how exactly Mastodon's ActivityPub implementation leaks information, then we'd highly appreciate your input on this issue: https://github.com/florence-social/mastodon-fork/issues/108
