Former CEO of Twitter wanted to build a social protocol no-one can control, like SMTP or HTTP for social media. Bluesky’s ATProto was supposed to be an open source protocol that Twitter could eventually utilize, but then Musk happened and Bluesky started taking it to the wrong direction and everything fell apart in Dorsey’s mind.
A very revealing interview. I now see even more future in W3C’s ActivityPub.
@tyil fair points. I am suggesting emoji should be usable as hashtags, but not prescribing how they are best used. Like for public square broadcasts.. probably not so appropriate.
I have use cases for them, and they are in the realm of "personal social networking" where people know the context and meaning.
Happy Friday to all of you here in the #Fediverse today!
What is on your agenda for the day and for the weekend ahead?
For me, the wife and I are going to a special Winston Salem Dash baseball game tonight. It's our first one. They are the AAA team for the Chicago White Sox. Hoping to have a great time tonight.
Not much else planned outside of work stuff for a bit today and the weekend we don't have anything planned as of yet.
I had to look at a Twitter message for work reasons yesterday. I did it in a private tab. I still felt like I needed to wash afterwards. However it struck me that I don't think I've actually read anything off of Twitter for over a year and a half at this point. For me, the #Fediverse has largely replaced it.
@torgo Once you factor in Bluesky and Threads especially. I've been on the fediverse since 2018. I killed my account the summer after Musk announced he wanted to buy the thing. I loved seeing so many ex-Twitter people showing up here so I could follow them without going to Twitter. I wish more of them stuck around instead of going off to Bluesky or Threads. But I like having the options of seeing their content in an integrated experience on my fediverse network, Friendica.
@nilesh yeah there are many projects that have implemented parts of this. But the issue is that you each part of the fediverse does account auth differently, cause that part is not part of ActivityPub. @dansup built a login with Mastodon feature into @pixelfed recently.
Est ce que ça vous ai déjà arrivé de jouer avec les nombreux paramètres du plugin, puis de ne plus savoir quelles étaient les valeurs par défaut ?
Si oui, quelle solution aimeriez-vous ?
Que les valeurs par défaut soient documentées?
Un bouton "reset" ? Si oui, doit-il tout réinitialiser, ou doit-il garder certains paramètres (comme les ports, notamment pour celleux qui host plusieurs Peertube sur une même instance...).
Autre?
I like #Misskey / #Akkoma instances: CDRom Tokyo and MiniDisc Tokyo. All because of the "retro" interface and the names.
However, what frustrates me a lot is the speed issue: cannot load the timeline, it get stuck with no updated for many days or weeks. Takes too long time to post any thing, even just plain text.
I hope it will be solved in a near future because they will be my favorite sites.
I said.
P.D.
A big hello to the developers, I respect them so much !
I have the feeling that Activity Pub and other new 'protocols' have a different meaning of the term 'protocol'. I mean these APIs and services would not be handled by the IETF. Or do I miss something? #Fediverse#ActivityPub
Imho AP serves more as a kind of "protocol framework", and it still must be completed to be fully production-ready. Current early adopters are all working with alpha versions and flavours thereof.
The reality is, you always take a chance when contributing to an open source development or projects. Just because you made a contribution, does not mean you own the project or can decide the path that project takes. Those of us who donated understood the risk (or at least, I hope most people did).
That said, when someone takes a proactive driving stance claiming they will deliver, you kind of hope you can take them for their word. And expecting the main website to be online is not a big ask, especially when that serves as a gateway for people to learn about and use the project you are funding. That, after all, was the reason I donated.
