fediverse

  • In reply to @davidbisset. Trying to (subtly) convince #Bluesky users that the #Fediverse is better reminds me of Linux users trying to win over Mac users. It never happened then and I don’t think it will happen here. However, the Mac today does run off of some linux under the hood. So maybe that is…

  • I enjoyed https://mastodon.social/@_elena take on #Bluesky. Most agree on its weaknesses – “it’s like the Impossible Burger” vs fast food of Twitter, TikTok, etc. is apt in context. https://blog.elenarossini.com/if-big-tech-social-platforms-are-junk-food-and-the-fediverse-is-a-healthy-home-cooked-meal-then-what-is-bluesky/ “I wouldn’t want tens of millions of new people suddenly landing in the #Fediverse and changing its culture.” It is the most… polite… way I have…

  • OH: "In order for #Mastodon or the #Fediverse to ("air quotes")"win"(/air-quotes) at social, #BlueSky (or even #Threads) doesn't have to lose".

  • https://writefreely.org/ is an "#opensource platform for building a writing space on the web". No "claps or likes". You can publish to the #fediverse. Coded in #Go. Runs on a #MYSQL database.

  • Sad a bit but not surprised to see post.news shutting down. I signed up and never used it but I got the weekly newsletter. We need more alternatives and experiments when it comes to social networks. Yes in addition to #mastodon … although one can argue that #fediverse compatibility should be a high consideration for…

  • It's funny to some #Mastodon and Bluesky users that say (rightly so) "these are good numbers" with thousands+ new users come to their platforms per week but poo poo Meta with it's 70+ million with #Threads (which I don't have $0.02 on yet). If you don't care about your social network size, then not sure…

  • #Twitter is freaking out about #Tweetdeck, logins, and rate limits. #Mastodon is freaking out on Threads. #Bluesky… calm or poking fun, not up to freak levels yet. #Fediverse as a whole steady as she goes. No judgements here just observations.

  • Reading @manton take on if/how #Mastodon #Fediverse should accept Meta (assuming if Meta ever gets to that point). https://www.manton.org/2023/06/27/lets-welcome-meta.html

  • Good read. "Decentralization isn't enough. It's about people." via @ben https://werd.io/2023/decentralization-isnt-enough-its-about-people "Decentralized protocols are infrastructure in the same way that servers are infrastructure. Nobody cares if a traditional social network is built on AWS or Google Cloud. What they care about is the community: can they follow people they’re interested in, can they engage in…

  • Untitled post 57083

    Yeah @film_girl is exactly right. #Mastodon doesn't have to get "more followers than Twitter or be more popular than Bluesky to win". I don't think #Mastodon is going away and there are multiple winners. But as @ben points out: "Can a developer take your protocol, without permission or pushback, and build something meaningful in under…

  • Another day another "#fediverse and/or #mastodon will win" post in apparent reaction to… something. https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/yes-the-fediverse-will-win/ First off: I agree think some of arguments are sound. Fedi isn't going away. Donation models work. But face it – Fedi will never attract majority. Nor do they want/should to. Currently as alt. go #bluesky (still in diapers) gets…

    Not perfect but https://jointhefediverse.net/ is the best I think way to explain why someone should care at all about the Fediverse. Personally I think a good tactic for most of the public to focus on features and pros/cons of Mastodon and other apps vs. trying to explain or mention #Fediverse at all.

  • wpfront.page top story. “WordPress.com owner @Automattic acquires an #ActivityPub plugin so blogs can join the #Fediverse”. Ah @TechCrunch. techcrunch.com/2023/03/13/wor… #Mastodon

  • Looks like @discourse could be joining the #Fediverse, talking about building an ActivityPub plugin: meta.discourse.org/t/federation-s… So you could follow a category in Discourse on Mastodon, for example.

  • My gut feelings so far range to "it's worth a try!' and 'better than nothing' on this but read @anildash proposal for a #Fediverse search (with a focus on "consent") yourself as I think it's worth a read: https://anildash.com/2023/01/16/a-fediverse-search/ #Mastosearch #Searchtodon

  • TIL about #Searchtodon experiment & (with it's closing) @janl excellent retrospective on it: https://searchtodon.social/Adventures-in-Mastoland.html I guess count me in regarding (1) ability to search my timeline for things I missed (I already save/sync my personal #Mastodon posts on https://davidbisset.social) and (2) Jan's last points – #Fediverse will only get bigger and for it's protection and…

  • Encountering more items #Fediverse related now that i'm spending more time on #Mastodon. Soapbox – a "UI for the Fediverse" – has a new version (3.0). Looks on the surface very much like Twitter (or the Twitter I most commonly think of). https://soapbox.pub/blog/releasing-soapbox-3.0/
