A rather poignant commentary on #war and the #environment

Because of radio frequency jamming, fiber optic #drones are being used by #Russia and #Ukraine on the frontlines

They just spool the fiber out as they fly

Apparently some areas look like giant spider webs everywhere from the endless #drone flights

And #birds are now using the waste of war to make their nests

#UkraineWar

Photo of a bird's nest made with some fiber optic strands with the caption in Ukrainian: "bird's nest made from fiber optics PHOTO OF A BATTALION SUPPORT FORCE FIGHTER OF THE 12TH AZOV BRIGADE"

Attention server admins! Yesterday I've read a post by @simon_brooke how nasty AI scraper bots are attacking his self-hosted @forgejo instance. Soon after I'm seeing unusual, periodic traffic spikes on mine and again - dominated by OpenAI, but some other freeloaders too:

20.171.207.41   GPTBot/1.2
85.208.96.211   SemrushBot/7~bl
54.36.148.64    AhrefsBot/7.0
114.119.139.53  PetalBot

With GPTBot and SemrushBot attacking hardest :blobcatscared:

They've been hammering my little server periodically today as well, slowing down my instance dramatically as if I was experiencing malicious DDoS attack :blobcatfearful: Well, in a sense it is one :blobcatnotlikethis:

Watch out - it seems corporate AI techbros learned to scrape :forgejo: content and starts doing it on a massive scale :blobcatoutage: Remember when @Codeberg was (and repeatedly is) hit?

For now blocked IP ranges and User-Agent combinations, not sure for how long that will be enough :blobcatumm:

Please boost for visibility and be prepared!

Bounce Helps You Switch Networks


 The team behind Bridgy Fed is building an innovative new tool that helps you automatically move from one network to another.

For the last few months, A New Social has been working hard to support and improve Bridgy Fed, a popular tool for connecting different Bluesky and IndieWeb platforms to the Fediverse. While it does some impressive work under the hood, the team behind it is looking at a new tool to help people seamlessly move across networks, while keeping most of their contacts. This is the core premise behind Bounce.

The Purpose of Bounce


Bounce aims to tackle a distinct problem for the open Social Web: providing an easy way to get onto the network, or move from one to the other.

Starting on a new platform is tedious, and it often makes us hesitant to try something new, even if we know it could be a better experience for us. It’s how we become locked into experiences that, over time, are no longer ideal for us.

Bounce Announcement


“We want to make this process as easy as possible,” says Anuj Ahooja, Executive Director of A New Social, “it shouldn’t have to be rocket science to join a network and find all of your friends.”

Trying to move platforms or, heck, even move instances has historically been a tedious process. Within the Fediverse, a handful of platforms support Mastodon’s “move action”, but the process tends to be tedious and sometimes prone to failure.

How Bounce Works


The main idea behind Bounce is fairly simple: connect two different accounts, and click “Move” to migrate from one place to the other. Under the hood, Bounce uses the ActivityPub and AT protocol to handle migrating contacts. If you’re on Bluesky and move to Mastodon, or vice versa, Bounce handles the accounts on the other network by providing you with your contacts through Bridgy Fed.

Source: A New Social

Obviously, there are some caveats. The opt-in nature of Bridgy Fed means that your followers only need to enable Bridgy Fed for themselves, if they want their replies to make it back to you. People that you’re following will need to have Bridgy Fed enabled for you to see their posts from across networks. Not every Mastodon or Bluesky user wants to be connected to the other network, so it’s reasonable to assume that some contacts won’t be carried over. Bounce anticipates this by showing just who exactly you’re able to stay connected with.


Future Potential


There are a few areas where Bounce could have a significant impact for the Social Web. One might involve migrating ActivityPub data from one Fediverse platform or instance to another. A more interesting area for opportunity might be to import data and contacts from a proprietary social network, and help people easily find their friends in a new space.

What’s important to understand is that Bounce could end up providing critical infrastructure for user account migration between different networks and services. If the project can make the process of joining the Fediverse or Atmosphere easier for new people, it could have a significant impact on growing both networks as a whole.
