#^My rules – my Hubzilla (en)



After recently writing a ‘Hubzilla-Häppchen’ on the topic of ‘channel calming,’ I thought I would share my personal configuration here, along with some explanations... and perhaps show what a great tool Hubzilla is for participating in the Fediverse in a relaxed manner...

#^Meine Regeln - mein Hubzilla



Nachdem ich kürzlich ein "Hubzilla-Häppchen" zum Thema "Kanalberuhigung" geschrieben hatte, dachte ich, dass ich mal meine persönliche Konfiguration - mit entsprechenden Erläuterungen - hier vorstelle... und damit vielleicht zeige, welch tolles Werkzeug Hubzilla ist, um entspannt am Fediverse teilzunehmen...

Instead of posting (or actually not posting) a series of brand-new images for the Unseen Image Challenge, I'm going to re-use a pair of images I've posted last year; CW: long (almost 4,000 characters), Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta, alt-text meta, image description meta

I wanted to participate in today's motto of the Unseen Image Challenge. But I wanted to do so with descriptions of actual images. And it made more sense to complete a set of descriptions that I had been working on since last year (yes, I know that other people take only a few seconds to fully describe an image) than to make an entirely new image.

However, even at the most limited extent, that would have meant one post, four images, twelve portraits, at least with no background whatsoever, with the same avatar in all twelve outfits, with a whole lot of similarities in the outfits and with always the exact same posture.

Nonetheless, I had to complete the preamble and improve it in parts. I had to write a detailed description of the custom shoe design in almost 2,000 characters. And I had to describe four variants of the same sports jacket and five variants of the same button-down shirt (I've done one jacket and three shirts now). It takes me longer to describe one button than it takes most people to describe an entire image. And I'm talking about portraits of a 3-D virtual world avatar.

In fact, I wanted to use this as a test balloon for which way of offering long image descriptions (not long as in 800 characters in the alt-text, but long as in well over 20,000 characters elsewhere) is better. I wanted to post the same images twice.

For one, I wanted to do as I always do and add a block with the long descriptions of three images and twelve portraits in the post itself, below all three images. The description block would start with a very long preamble that explains everything and describes what the images have in common, followed by individual descriptions of each image.

I know that this works technically, but it would inflate the post itself to way more than 40 times the size of a Mastodon toot, and it would put a whole lot of distance between each image and its individual description.

Besides, I wanted to make complete descriptions for each image as HTML documents, include each image plus alt-text in the respective HTML document, upload the HTML documents to the file space in my channel and put a link to each document underneath the corresponding image in the post.

This would have put the descriptions fairly close to the images, and it would have dramatically reduced the length of the post. But it would have been entirely untested. It may pretty well have blown up in my face. Besides, the descriptions wouldn't actually be where the images in the post are. And users of dedicated mobile apps wouldn't be able to read the image descriptions in their apps. Instead, tapping the description link would open the browser (provided what I plan to do works in the first place).

Well, I had to nix this for today because there's no way I can get it all done within the next bit over one hour.

Instead, I may use the two images of @Juno Rowland that were the last original images I posted, combine their alt-texts and long descriptions with fully black images and correct the image explanation where it's actually factually wrong. The post with these images in them is from last year. That's so long ago that I guess nobody remembers it anyway, so I hope this doesn't count as cheating.

I may actually post the "images" here on my Hubzilla channel instead of on the (streams) channel where I have originally posted them. Since there's nothing to actually see in the images, I don't have to be afraid of triggering anyone with eye contact.

As for my new portraits, they will go on (streams) because they will contain eye contact. But I can't say when this will be. There's still so much to do in the image descriptions.

If Mastodon's various user interfaces won't constantly advertise groups after Mastodon has introduced them, nobody will use them; CW: long (almost 1,800 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse-beyond-Mastodon meta

When Mastodon introduces groups, it had better also introduce a strikingly big "Groups" button to its Web interface and the official iOS and Android apps. And the major third-party phone apps had better follow suit as soon as possible.

Otherwise the majority of Mastodon users won't even know that the Fediverse has groups (it does right now, and they don't right now), much less that Mastodon has introduced them. And they'll go on shouting into the void like they've always done, hoping that the right people may happen upon their posts.

I mean, Mastodon has also copied Friendica's, Hubzilla's and (streams)' automatic, reader-side content warning generation into its existing filters and rolled that feature out with Mastodon 3.0 in October, 2022.

But next to nobody on Mastodon even knows that this feature exists anywhere in the Fediverse, much less on Mastodon itself. For the huge majority, putting content warnings into the summary field (of which next to nobody on Mastodon knows that it's actually a summary field) and forcing the very same content warnings on everyone in the Fediverse is without an alternative. As is demanding that the very same content warnings that one requires oneself be forced upon everyone else while oneself be spared from all other content warnings.

And, in fact, it also seems like hardly anyone on Mastodon knows that you can follow hashtags on Mastodon, just like you can follow people. There's no big honking button in front of everyone's noses for that either.

@-0--1- @David G. Smith Still, first of all, if I posted an image without an alt-text (which I'd never do), AltBot would have to assume full admin rights over the Hubzilla channel that I'm currently commenting from because that's the only way for another Fediverse actor to alter the source code of my posts.

Altering the source code of the post is necessary because Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte neither have a dedicated alt-text field, nor are images file attachments there. Rather, images are embedded directly into the post, in-line, just the same way blogs handle images. And alt-text has to be woven into the image-embedding code in the post. Thus, the post itself has to be altered.

So, assuming AltBot actually manages to circumvent the two most advanced permissions systems in the Fediverse, it would have to trace back an image that it perceives as a file attachment to where exactly the embedding code for that particular image is in the post.

It would have to be able to both understand and write the specific flavour of BBcode used by Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte.

It would have to, for example, take this piece of code...

[zrl=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/photos/jupiter_rowland/image/b1e7bf9c-07d8-45b6-90bb-f43e27199295][zmg=800x533]https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/photo/b1e7bf9c-07d8-45b6-90bb-f43e27199295-2.jpg[/zmg][/zrl]

...and edit it into this.

[zrl=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/photos/jupiter_rowland/image/b1e7bf9c-07d8-45b6-90bb-f43e27199295][zmg=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/photo/b1e7bf9c-07d8-45b6-90bb-f43e27199295-2.jpg]Digital shaded rendering of the main building of the Universal Campus, a downloadable island location for 3-D virtual worlds based on OpenSimulator. The camera position is about three metres or ten feet above the ground. The camera is tilted slightly upward and rotated slightly to the left from the building's longitudinal axis. The futuristic building is over 200 metres long, stretching far into the distance, and its front is about 50 metres wide. Its structure is mostly textured to resemble brushed stainless steel, and almost everything in-between is grey tinted glass. The main entrance of the building in the middle of the front has two pairs of glass doors. They are surrounded by a massive complex geometrical structure, very roughly reminiscent of a vintage video game spacecraft with the front facing upward. Four huge cylindrical pillars carry the roof end, the outer two of which extend beyond it. All are tilted away from the landing area in front of the building and at the same time outward to the sides. The sides of the building are slightly tilted themselves. In the distance, a large geodesic dome rises from the building. There is a large circular area in front of the main entrance as well as several wide paths. They have light concrete textures, and they are lined with low walls with almost white concrete textures. Furthermore, various shrubs and trees decorate the scenery.[/zmg][/zrl]


Not to mention that AltBot would require extensive detail niche knowledge about the topic covered by the image to be able to whip up the above alt-text in the first place. (By the way: The alt-text example is genuine. I've actually used it. And it's an extremely whittled-down version of the long image description of the same image in the post itself, a description which has to be the longest in the entire Fediverse.)

Ideally, AltBot would do so without flagging the post as edited.

@𝓐𝓷𝓭𝔂𝓣𝓲𝓮𝓭𝔂𝓮 𓀤 @-0--1- @David G. Smith You mean as in someone else permanently writing an alt-text into the original image?

Good luck wrestling down the permissions system and acquiring permission to remotely alter the original image post if it is from Hubzilla, (streams) or Forte. Not everything in the Fediverse is Mastodon or works like Mastodon.

In the time of moving to federated services I'm curious about setting up my own #hubzilla or #gotosocial, having your own instance seems like a good idea these days. However, centralised services have (usually) more and better equipped people to take care of security than myself. So, how to weigh those against each other before sharing photos and personal thoughts to the world?

Theory on how Friendica and Hubzilla users automatically get diaspora* contacts; CW: Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta

Theory:

If you've been on Friendica or Hubzilla for a certain minimum amount of time, and you've got diaspora* on, you'll inevitably have connections on diaspora* proper.

It's a law of nature, only not actually of nature, but more of the Fediverse.

@Kote Isaev @Djembro, RO, supports 🇺🇦🇬🇪 Not to mention that Tumblr, just like Facebook and every last blog out there, uses a one-post-many-comments conversation model whereas Mastodon hangs on to Twitter's loose strings of posts.

If you want that conversation model and full HTML text formatting and images embedded within the post and development being done outside the USA, your only choices is the family of "better-than-Facebook Facebook alternatives": Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte. Friendica is developed by two Germans with the code on GitHub in the USA. Hubzilla is developed by a German and a Norwegian with the code on Framagit in France. (streams) and Forte are both developed by their and Friendica's and Hubzilla's creator in Australia with the code on Codeberg in Germany.

None of them is a Facebook clone, though, and nobody should expect either to be a full-on Tumblr clone. UI and UX are a lot different. Also, all four have quite a bit of a learning curve, regardless of where you come from.

Lastly, readily available native third-party mobile apps only exist for Friendica and for Android. There's an iPhone app for Friendica in development, but it's a long way to daily-driver material. Friendica is also the only one of the bunch with the Mastodon client API, but Mastodon apps can only cover a tiny fraction of what Friendica can do, namely what Mastodon can do, too.

As for apps for the other three, no dice. There's no native mobile app even in sight, also because such an app would end up an absolute monster. And none of them supports Mastodon apps and most likely never will because the Mastodon client API covers even fewer of their features. In fact, it does not cover a lot of critical everyday features, so trying to use one of the three through a Mastodon app makes no sense whatsoever. You're better off with the Web interface either way.

Die Nacht war dunkel und "erquickend" (das muss sich noch zeigen) aber das
#Drecksding hatte was gegen ausschlagen.

Heute ist Mittwoch und da wird nicht nur die Woche geteilt sondern am Nachmittag ist auch DIY Werkstatt Tag, worauf ich mich sehr freue.
Da liegt noch alte und neue Arbeit an....

Und geträumt habe ja ich auch. Einen echten Qualitätstraum.
Mit dem ersten ton vom Drecksding, war alles weg. Einfach pffffff und weg
Somit habe ich da nichts zu berichten.

Kommt gut in den Tag, ich schlürfe noch an meinem Tee und dann geht es auf Arbeit
