Annette Schwindt<p><strong>Wie Fediverse-Reactions und Avatare in WordPress zusammenhängen</strong></p> <p>Einen Punkt habe ich in meinem vorigen Beitrag über Folgefragen nach dem Verbinden eines WordPress-Blogs mit dem Fediverse noch nicht behandelt: Die Abhängigkeit der Anzeige der Fediverse-Reactions von den generellen Avatar-Einstellungen in WordPress. Das ist auch ein bisschen komplexer und damit einen eigenen Beitrag wert:</p> <p>Gravatar und Datenschutz</p> <p>WordPress holt sich standardmäßig die Avatare zu normalen Kommentaren von gravatar.com. Hat dort jemand keinen Avatar eingerichtet, […]</p> <p><a href="https://www.annetteschwindt.digital/fediverse-reactions-avatare-wordpress/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">annetteschwindt.digital/fedive</span><span class="invisible">rse-reactions-avatare-wordpress/</span></a></p>

Andreas Gohr<p>Yesterday, I released an update to Meh, my Mastodon enabled commenting system.

Jeremy Herve<p>It would seem like identity and domain verification are a hot topic again:</p><blockquote><p>Cybersquatting is not a new issue, of course, but Bluesky’s decision to tie verification to domains as social proof shows the limitations of the strategy. After all, if Conor Sen doesn’t want to register his namesake domain, it just takes one questionable party to do it instead, put up a fake email signup form, and register an account. Domains simply don’t offer enough in the way of social proof for the average person.</p><p><a href="https://tedium.co/2024/12/17/bluesky-impersonation-risks/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bluesky impersonation risks</a></p></blockquote><p>This reminds me of <a href="https://keybase.io/jeherve" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Keybase.io</a>. It’s a service that had potential as a centralized identity verification service. I enjoyed its simplicity and its support for developer tools. Unfortunately, they were acquired by Zoom and it seems the service was since mothballed. Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention <a href="https://gravatar.com/jeherve" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gravatar</a> as an alternative. I know I’m biased, but I think it has become a really good identity verification service nowadays.</p><p>Or maybe, we should just forget those external services to manage our content, and have everything on <a href="https://herve.bzh/author/jeremy/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">our own personal site like this one</a> 🙂</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://herve.bzh/t/bluesky/" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://herve.bzh/t/en/" target="_blank">#EN</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://herve.bzh/t/gravatar/" target="_blank">#Gravatar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://herve.bzh/t/keybase/" target="_blank">#Keybase</a></p>

Blind Sasquatch<p>As mentioned in the first post I made on this instance, had some fine-tuning to do. Added a REL="Me" to my Gravatar profile, so hopefully my Mastodon account is verified now. Being blind, I have no clue if that's actually the case, so hopefully a sighted person is willing to check &amp; confirm this for me.
