If you haven't yet silenced the following domains, you are potentially federating non-stop pro-Russian state-sponsored spam and slopaganda. Local timelines make it very clear these services are overrun, abandoned spam factories with 150-300 bot accounts posting 24/7 […]

@hannesbajohr Heya, nur als generelle Info: Dein Server zirk.us ist von Propaganda-Bots geplagt & eure Moderatoren/Admins machen nichts dagegen. Das hat solche Ausmaße angenommen und geht schon so lange, dass zirk.us als "abandoned" eingestuft wird - siehe hier […]

@LivingWithMachines Heya, just a heads-up: Your server zirk.us is overrun by propaganda bots & considered "abandoned". See here https://mastodon.iftas.org/@iftas/117033681890229179 If you want, I could help you with finding a new server :) You may be a good fit for https://fedihum.org as well

Got the Omeka-S EDTF module installed for some fuzzy date goodness. I like the way it humanises the values on display (so '1900~' becomes 'Circa 1900' in the interface). https://github.com/Daniel-KM/Omeka-S-module-DataTypeEdtf

Es ist soweit: Heute startet das IEG seinen eigenen Podcast „Epochal“ und macht historische Forschung einem breiten Publikum zugänglich. Die erste Folge dreht sich um „Schönheitsideale, Mobilität und weibliche Handlungsmacht“ und ist unter hier abrufbar: epochal.podigee.io/1-schoenheit....

RE: https://fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/117009143860017476 I'm quite ... annoyed/grumpy regarding the original post. "This is the magnificent library Anthropic amassed before destroying it" is simply not true. The court filings contextualize the picture as being from one of the vendors they used to […]
