As a fun little experiment, @damon and I worked together to get a #Mastodon instance up and running that stores media on #IPFS! It was an interesting learning experience.
I don’t think we’re ready to announce anything yet, as this was in service of another project in development. But, there’s an increasing number of ways to host content on an IPFS node service, and tie it back to platforms like Mastodon using an S3-compatible API for Object Storage and some proxying.
This is all pretty rudimentary, but the big-brain realization is that a more robust version could be done by pairing Minio to s3x if we wanted to self-host an IPFS node with those specific features.
@deadsuperhero
I expect more of this, not just re #IPFS but as #p2p systems are happening, storage models will change for the better. #Autonomi is the project I'm most familiar with and they have already talked about this and have partners ready to upload their data. They are not yet revealed, but I wouldn't be surprised if replacing AWS was in there.
I'm working on a demo myself in the area of web publishing and browsing, and am very excited about this whole area, so I wish you luck. @damon
@deadsuperhero I don't get why you see so "few narrow applications". IPFS storage could be used to store the media (videos, sounds). We then could hope that every instance where someone follow you will get the toot and store the attachments in their local IPFS node. So, the more popular your content become, the more it is available, à la BitTorrent. You then can selfhost on your instance and no longer need costly CDN, S3. Benefits seems obvious to me but I may miss something 🤔
Although #mastodon is the elephant in the room (see what I did there), the #fediverse is way more than just that. I want to look at other ways to engage with the wider Fediverse, just for fun and my own education. I have a #pixelfed account that I never use but maybe I'll move all my image posting to it and just repost it here, etc. Still mulling.
@nosaj Oh absolutely, but everyone who follows my Mastodon may not also follow my Pixelfed since they’re different servers etc. The Achilles Heel of the Fediverse has always been no single portable identity. Glad to see folks smarter than me now talking about that 😂
@failedLyndonLaRouchite People in theory have mixed feelings and then in practice vote against extreme right parties by very large margins. If anything the filter bubble goes the other way - there was few immigrants in politics, so politicos are missing out on big pro-immigration constituencies (and also on pro-EU ones, since intra-EU migrants don't usually go into politics either) and then don't know how to enact immigration reform that actually speaks to us.
"A Perfect Resting Place"
Walking a beautiful pathway through the historic Laudholm Farm Preserve in Wells, Maine, there is a cool bite to the air reminding me of the upcoming cold days of the upcoming winter...
I’m hoping this gets to the right folks who can point me to an #AuDHD#neurodivergent and #actuallyautistic friendly #instance on #mastodon ? One that is welcoming and focused if possible on the adult experience as opposed to a parenting group focused on kids.🙏
@hannahneurotica I haven't heard of such an instance. As you know, we aren't very good at organising things... I suspect most of our talking just happens via hashtags. Tag me if you hear of such a place though!
Dear #MastodonDevs,
please, give us a short and curt BLOCK PRIVATE MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE YOU DON'T FOLLOW.
when Twitter was Twitter, we could do that and it validated the consent of mutual follows. they are a form of relationship curation, why can't i do that on this platform?
thanks.
PS TO EVERYBODY ELSE: if Mastodon won't do this, which other platform does? Friendica? if am going to have to run my own AP platform, not being able to block DMs is a deal breaker.
