Swiping the Smallweb from mobile is even better than most “social media experience” we can get in 2026, its interesting, its different, each blog has its own vibe, it has this StumbleUpon randomness feeling from back in the days, its refreshing !

No, because my Fedify implementation does not support the Mastodon API Fedify also doesn’t at the source (if I’m not wrong) I could put in place the missing blocks to simulate a workaround but then I would have to maintain this against the Mastodon API changes

My ActivityPub “reader” aka the view where I can check my home timeline and also explore public instance timeline is ugly but it works and it has this feeling that I built it, so if I’m not happy with it, I’m the only responsible to improve it.
Still… its an odd feeling that this is my fediverse home now and there is no coming back !

AI: T1
One day, I would like to meet a Wikipedia enthusiast willing to work on the OKC page and the Spatz page, in exchange for access to a large amount of data (from the already closed belgian/french trials) that could significantly enrich the legal timeline, as well as many facts that are completely unknown to the public.
Unfortunately, adding content to Wikipedia when it is done under the name “OKCinfo”, our Wikipedia account — which allowed us to demonstrate that the main editor of the OKC page for 17 years was none other than the general secretary of the OKC sect — is far more strictly controlled than when it was the sect itself editing its own page and that of its guru.
In fact, it is very difficult to find people to collaborate with so that added content is not systematically classified as biased or lacking sources. This is all the more difficult because it is almost impossible to provide “proof” in the Wikipedia sense, since no media outlet follows this case over time. Whether it is Le Monde, Mediapart, or others, no one really cares about this case, either in France or in Belgium.
As a result, the existing articles are extremely thin, even though we have a large amount of documentation, including original sources coming directly from the sect.
How can you create properly sourced links on a case that interests almost no one, apart from a handful of journalists — two, in my opinion — who have actually worked seriously on this file?
Today, the OKC page almost presents the sect as being caught in a legal “turmoil” despite itself, and an entire part of the legal content has been removed or moved to the guru Spatz’s page, as if he were the only person implicated.
The OKC Wikipedia page does not at all reflect the complexity of the legal and technical reasons that led to the recognition of a form of “irresponsibility” or “influence” affecting the OKC leadership in various rulings, without in any way clearing them — far from it.
In reality, if the OKC leadership was not convicted, it is not for the reasons presented on the page. If they are “free” today, it is largely because they helped shape, over more than twenty years, the absence of meaningful legal outcomes: by taking advantage of investigative shortcomings, the silence of victims, and the expiration of reasonable time limits. In that sense, OKC, just like Spatz, has shaped the outcome of this case as much as — if not more than — the judges and prosecutors who have handled it over the past forty years.
But nobody cares.
