Anarchaia: 20 years after
by @leah
"The weblog Anarchaia (http://anarchaia.org) has been widely regarded as the first so-called "tumblelog", which started a microblogging trend. But was it really the first? And what is its legacy, 20 years after its creation?"
Privacy Expectations in Federated Protocols
by @fionafokus
"Exemplified by the recent Pixelfed vulnerability (https://fokus.cool/2025/03/25/pixelfed-vulnerability.html) I'll summarize how incomplete or wrong #ActivityPub implementations can violate our expectations on how privacy is treated. Afterwards there is room for an open discussion on how to handle these problems on a protocol and community level."
