✨ Links in bio
That's right, links, not link.
We're adding support for multiple profile links, and they will be compatible with Mastodon too!
But wait, there's more! We're also adding rel="me" support to allow users to self verify ownership and display a distinct badge across our web and mobile UIs!
Thanks for the idea @Mastodon 😁

"The two bills here aim to protect victims of online child sexual abuse but heavily misfire by making the internet less safe by implicating E2EE technology." https://www.rstreet.org/commentary/the-push-for-childrens-privacy-and-online-safety/
"I am personally and professionally dedicated to child protection", writes our new Executive Director, @DrGTenbergen. Read the rest of her message in our new brochure. https://prostasia.org/publications/brochure/
"with KOSA, again you have Democrats naively (and incorrectly) believing that because it’s called the “Kids Online Safety Bill” it will magically protect children, even though tons of experts have made it clear it will actually put them at greater risk." https://www.techdirt.com/2023/05/24/heritage-foundation-says-that-of-course-gop-will-use-kosa-to-censor-lgbtq-content/

Unbelievable double-think happening here. The UK government is going full-throttle in its war on encryption, with the Online Safety Bill the vanguard in exposing the security of everyone's device.
Encryption protects us from cyber-criminals, keeps our messages private, and stops governments and corporations from spying on us. It is online safety for kids and everyone.

Roles & Parental Controls
This is my next @NGIZero milestone, and will allow admins to define roles and permissions for all users, as well as allow users to manage permissions of another account (Parental Controls)!
"Trust levels" are another exciting aspect, where admins can define roles with limits that are applied based on thresholds, similar to Discourse Trust Levels

Not only about free speech, freedom of expression is also a right to receive information without interference.
The Online Safety Bill threatens both. Prior restraint provisions will wipe out speech before it takes place, shrinking the public realm.

@simplelogin I voted browser extension. But honestly I mostly just manually type: website-name@custom.domain

My feed 3 weeks ago: Bluesky isn’t using ActivityPub, this is unnecessary fragmentation. We already have a perfectly good protocol.
Instagram: Adopts ActivityPub.
My feed today: Noo big tech isn’t allowed to use our open source protocol. We must defederate them.
@asahi95 anyone that wants to be a part of the fediverse should be welcomed with open arms (mostly referring to individuals). If they choose a facebook-owned instance – I refuse to call facebook “meta”– that’s their choice.
⚠️ The Online Safety Bill would "make Britain a global role model for repressive regimes."
@Mer__edith, President of @signalapp, calls out the proposals that'll lead to "government-mandated mass surveillance applications on every UK smartphone."
