AI isn’t real “intelligence”. It doesn’t measure up to human intelligence!
Looks around at humans…
Oh…
Well, AI can’t match human intelligence because humans can think for themselves!
Once again looks around at humans today…

I know nada about ao3 or fan fiction sites in general. What I DO know is a good metaphor when I see one. This one about Internet cross-pollination is perfection. Especially for me right now as I’ve set off into my (IRL) gardening era. The importance of cross-pollination in both contexts can not be understated.

Neat! I had this *exact* idea like 15 years ago but never had the energy ( or maybe know-how? ) to bring it to life. Back then the web seemed a bit less hostile… I have more fears and doubts about how well this concept would work today, but I think it’s awesome that someone’s going to try to make it happen. Looking forward to seeing how it goes!

Joined in 2018 out of curiosity. Rejoined in 2022 during the early stages of the Elonification of Twitter. I was never much of a Twitter-er anyways (just lurking mostly) but out of principle, and because I saw infosec folks coming to Fedi, I went to.
I’ve stayed (and will continue to stay) for so many reasons….
- My awesome curated timeline filled with wonderful people.
- The level of ownership I have of my presence and data
- Fediversal interoperability
To name a few!

Cool! Thanks for sharing. I added FROST (and a few others I was not aware of from your already-published works here https://vulnerability.garden). 🪴🤗
Quick somewhat-related question though. I’ve noticed in this research, and *so* many other similar published white papers, that the authors do not include a Published Date. Why is this? At best I’ll get a year-published for citation purposes, but I’d personally love to know the month+day as well.
Anyways, thanks again!!

Thanks! It’s been kinda rough so far this season. A string of sub 50 degree days followed by several 95+ degree days and now we’re heading right back into 50 degree nights and 10 days straight of rain… ill be amazed if anything survives the onslaught. But plants can be resilient!

I think that's already been done. We've all been calling it the "old web" (complimentary), but they'll spin it to be the "old web" (derogatory). Fortunately there's a surge of personal blogging and indieweb tooling looking to keep the better web afloat. Might be enough to save some of us...

Not that it’s the *most* reliable indicator, but a similar trend is evident in what I see on vuln garden. This year we have 83 “named vulns” and we’re not even half way through the year. This pace could see 200+ while no year prior has ever gone over 130. It also seems like a majority of findings coming out recently are from AI shops (V12, those copyfail buggers, xbox, etc…)

The Vulnerability Garden isn’t exactly “Fedi-Native”, but I did set up RSS Parrot to post out when new records are added. The latest being “Claw Chain” (from today!).
Whether it’s AI being popped, or AI doin’ the poppin’, it’s shaping up to be a big year for named vulns it seems. https://rss-parrot.net/u/vulnerability.garden/status/1778817847002383503

This is one of those instances that is kinda on the fence for me in terms of inclusion in the garden… I kinda read this as “ssh-keysign-pwn” being the name of the script, or the name of the repo and not so much it being a “named” vuln. It’s pretty subjective as I’ve explained before though so 🤷‍♂️. It doesn’t have a website, or a logo. The author (in the repo) never really says anything like “named” or “dubbed” or “called” —> ssh-keysign-pwn. Not that it’s that important but yeah..

infosec.exchange probably has a bit of this vibe. Sure, there are plenty of “broadcast-ey” types on there, but there’s also a solid population of folks that converse, comment, and otherwise *respond* to posts, not just publish. Having a topic-specific instance (like “infosec”) can help with this.

Fedi has been around for ~13 years and Mastodon has been around for about 9 of those. For anyone wondering how Fedi "wins", I think you need to ask instead, "what does it mean to win"? We've gotten this far w/o VC funding and continue to grow (even if it isn't at breakneck speeds). We win by being here. Being here for everyone who *finally* realizes that corporate social platforms are forever-doomed. Everything else is second, and will probably come in time.
Here's to 13 more years of winning!

Here's how I've distinguished my different formats/post types thus far - https://shellsharks.com/multiplicity-of-writing. But honestly, I don't think you really need to distinguish between posts that are point-in-time vs. living. Update the posts you want to update, end of story. I update things of mine all the time, regardless of post type and have never thought to create separate types based on that criteria. As for URI...it's the indieweb! Just pick one and go with it. Forget about timelessness.

What is the measure of “success" here? In many ways, I think Mastodon has been a huge success. If raw MAU is the measure, the features we might want to see come are different than if the measure was say, longevity or some form of “user satisfaction”.
Look at what has driven people away from here to understand what could be fixed…
- Safety & security
- Confusion around onboarding / instance-selection
- More feed/timeline options
- Poor instance moderation or admin-ship
- etc…

Just my opinion, and I waffle on this, but my current thinking is that "big tech”'s emphasis on algorithms to deliver people's micro-blogging/social media content has made too many folks completely reliant on the algo-feeds to bring them stuff. Here, you curate a feed which is volume and content-appropriate and tend it like a garden. Sure, reach and discoverability take a hit, but I find the higher fidelity, more manageable feed is just - healthier.

If you're like me, you would regret not having been here at some point. I kinda wrote about this here https://shellsharks.com/notes/2024/11/18/hold-the-line-stay-with-me.
I get why people like to go some place where they feel like they "have a lot of followers”. 90% of Bluesky traffic seems to be about this right now so you definitely wouldn't be in the minority.
What's nice is that the Fediverse is resilient. It can ebb and flow, but it can't fall the same way these centralized platforms do.
So, Build your communities here.

I think Bluesky has moved from the, "no one is here, yell loudly about Bluesky" phase to the “some people are actually here, yell loudly about Bluesky" phase. People seem more concerned with creating starter packs, amassing followers, posting about how many followers they have, and talking shit about every other network despite having been on those networks up until like a week ago. In time people will (likely) settle in and have more substantial discourse (maybe?)

Lol. I wasn't trying to be sneaky. Maybe I should remove? Just made sense though if you want to interact with those bridged accounts 🤷‍♂️

Hey #infosec folks, if you've bridged your account to #Bluesky using BridgyFed (https://fed.brid.gy/) let me know so I can add that bridged account to a starter pack there. 👍
Would be great to highlight the infosec people who are here, over there.
Boost around so I can nab everyone! 🚀

Absolutely no one asked me to do this, but here it is anyways. Some takes and info related to what's going on with #Bluesky
https://shellsharks.com/notes/2024/11/15/cloudy-with-a-chance-of-not-enshittifying
The TL;DR? (Because damn if I didn't spill too many words on such a thing…) Here's a list
1. Bsky 📈
2. Lots of emotions on Fedi about 1
3. Wanna go to Bsky? Sure. Do it.
4. Dorsey helped start bsky, but is no longer involved
5. Bsky is VC-backed, worrisome!
6. Bsky is NOT decentralized (right now)
7. Starter packs 👍👎
And more stuff if you read..

Anyone out there who has a #nostr acocunt want to help me test something? Can you search for "shellsharks@shellsharks.com” and see if my profile returns? (As opposed to searching my npub adress). I am testing out the instructions from @npub10y8…6et3 here https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/nostr-nip-05/ to set up a NIP-05 Verified Nostr Address. Thanks!
