The one thing I don't quite get about the #Fediverse is why we even need different software. For example, why can't #Pixelfed just be another - more sophisticated - frontend for #Mastodon?
To the #Eleventy community: does anyone know of any projects to make an 11ty website a first class member of the #fediverse, similar to what The Verge is doing (via WordPress it seems like) and 404 Media will do once Ghost is ready (ref https://digiday.com/media/why-publishers-are-preparing-to-federate-their-sites/). I did implement #webmentions on Cybercultural.com, using Bridgy etc, but it was unsatisfactory so I took it offline. I do want Cybercultural to be an “actor” on the fediverse tho, so now thinking about how to achieve that via 11ty.
I think the #fediverse is the kind of thing that has to happen to a social system like the Internet to force you to be engaged, more self-sufficient, and not reliant upon the largesse of government subsidies and vampiric commercial entities.
"Cox said that Emu can make “really amazing quality images” thanks to “Instagram being the data set that was used to train it” which he described as “one of the great repositories of incredible imagery.”"
This is a great reason for people to switch over to alternatives like #Pixelfed
I asked this a while ago but I wanted to ask again since I'm on a new server :
Long time Reddit user but I'm tired of their bullish!t and want to move on like I moved on from the bird site... or now I guess it's the swastica site.
What is everyone using to replace Reddit in their lives?
"At least two digital media companies are exploring the fediverse as a way to take more control over their referral traffic and onsite audience engagement." The Verge and 404 Media will both support ActivityPub and the fediverse. #Fediversehttps://werd.io/view/665233a622e6230d5c0d69d2
I just want to say that one thing the #Fediverse has consistently shown me is that no matter how much time and effort I put into my accounts here, I am consistently rewarded far more than my effort both literally and metaphorically, by some of the most generous and gracious people with whom I've ever had the privilege of conversing.
Morning all my peeps on the #Fediverse. Happy Saturday and hopebtye day is going well for y’all so far.
Let’s get together and have our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and see what our plans are for today.
Currently drinking my morning coffee. I’ll be watching the Monaco qualifying and then at 1pm EST I have the @Vivaldi Community Talk with @cliffwade. Rest of the day is free for now.
