@dansup it seems like lemmy can be that with the right skin. We also really need a federated alternative to github. Gitea is partway there but thinking also about how github is sort of a linkedin for programmers.
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.
I must wonder… if Dorsey truly wants to build something open, non-commercial and decentralized, why doesn’t he even look at the ActivityPub? Why not help it thrive? What’s all that fuss about Bluesky and Nostr?
@rolle Bluesky was always intended to be monetized. VC money isn't bequeathed for the betterment of users without some eye to profit. In order to achieve this they had to drive people to something cooler than what the other kids already had. Unique. Like the cybertruck.

Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using #ActivityPub
We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!
@ricmac@evanprodromou@rabble@deadsuperhero@timbray@osma Wow! Make it so much easier when laws are passed requiring government IDs to access social media and ultimately other sites. Sure, make cross-platform tracking of your every move EVEN EASIER! Jeez.
You can still see some trends, for example, people who use Ivory for iOS posted 49% of their images with alt text, compared to Mastodon's 17.8% for Android and 20% for iOS users.
But I am not sure if there is enough data to draw solid conclusions.
I can’t get over how cool it is to view my posts from any server. I’m definitely going to use activitypub for my social media I’m planning on making. I was going to use @Discourse , but considering it’s like #GitLab where you are only able to self host and each instance of discourse can’t interconnect makes me kinda sad. But activitypub seems like the only way I feel happy in both ways.
Part of my frustration with #ActivityPub and one of the things I find baffling giving everything else in it: the lack of tools for backpressure.
Backpressure is fundamental in building reliable distributed systems (c.f., Notes on Distributed Systems for Young Bloods). From a C2S perspective I get why it wouldn't need to be specified, but from a S2S federated protocol perspective its absence is frustrating.
All that it says is to take care not to overwhelm others and a bit on rate limits
But I also want state convergence. No matter what, different hosts are going to wind up with different views of the state of the graph. Why are there no mechanisms to detect that and enable convergence?
I want a mechanism to determine if two party's view of a collection are equivalent. I want to be able to query if an object is contained in a collection without enumerating the whole collection. I want a mechanism to request re-delivery or maybe failed delivery notifications.
For what it's worth, these are all goals that would align well with the interests of a broad set of implementors. I make a little noise now and again about the SWICG forum task force, but directly addressing some of these concerns would definitely be on our radar.
Current focus is on aligning on a common object type for higher level collections (the context), but I'm thinking that Collection (ordered, ideally) would be the best fit and also allow for future use cases like you mentioned earlier.
You have the ideas, we might be able to supply the coordination...
@cliffwade@Vivaldi I tried to use Vivaldi, but I stopped because there doesn’t seem to be a simple way of having different taskbar icons for different profiles, so you just end up with several of the same Vivaldi icons and not knowing which one relates to which profile.
I’ve gone back to using Firefox with a little bit of Arc.
