[FM Discuss] cryptoparty book & Tech Tools for Activism

[Tomi Toivio]

Hey,

I was fooling around with the StatusNet configuration file and now the
syndication works a lot better: http://fi.flossmanuals.net/statusnet/

Syndication is exactly what is needed to beat Twitter. I think it can be
syndicated even further. I don't think that I can make all of the
syndication plugins work on this server. I think that syndication has to be
documented in English, I am not exactly sure about some of the settings.

The funny thing is that the local users are using it as a sandbox for
documentation and then you have a constant stream of syndicated messages
from some very active external users.

I was looking at various StatusNet installations and some of them have
totally drowned in spam. Spam bot prevention seems to be the most painful
issue here.

Regards
Tomi
