Non so chi lo ricorda (lo accennai in ), ma uno dei motivi per cui avevo deciso di spostare il primariamente qui sul mio venendo da Telegram, era questo: una serie di miei requisiti, che un TG pubblico avrebbe soddisfatto, non riusciva a combaciare con il mio dover tenere privato quel canale… perché c’era troppo di frequente un influsso di pericolosi, che nel migliore dei casi facevano nel collegato, e nel peggiore effettuavano alle mie statistiche (in non so bene che modo). 👿️

A quanto pare, diversa gente ora si trova costretta a rendere privati i propri per lo stesso problema, nonostante gli (ci arrivo in un attimo) per loro e per i lettori. Volevo allora fare un qualche tipo di grafico o tabella per illustrare dei possibili cambiamenti che chiunque potrebbe apportare alla propria configurazione di pubblicazione, senza abbandonare Telegram… ma, provandoci, ho iniziato ad andare totalmente mentale, cercando di pensare a che razza di formato dovrei usare per dire quello che voglio. Le relazioni tra le che si possono sono fin troppo complesse, anche perché le possibili sono troppe. Quindi, mi devo limitare ad illustrare i soli salienti. 🧵️

Per prima cosa, il metodo drastico, attuabile a sua volta per diverse strade, ma che sicuramente non va bene per tutti: ⚡️

  • Scegliendo (come me) di postare da un sito : 🗜️
    • Senza rogne si hanno: lettura pubblica, condivisione con linkback, accesso , , RSS, e via API JSON.
    • Eventuali bot malevoli possono arrivare solo qualora si lascino i aperti, e si usi WP self-hosted; io ho scelto di lasciare chiusi i commenti del sito, facendo apparire però quelli lasciati dal .
    • Si può cross-postare su Telegram facendo apparire i post come nativi; potenziale problematica è la modifica dei messaggi, a quanto so nessun bot RSS la implementa (ma sarebbe fattibile), forse qualche “da WP a Telegram” lo fa.
  • Scrivendo da una piattaforma che non sia WordPress e non sia , si possono in teoria avere tutti i vantaggi di WP, con (quasi) tutti i vantaggi di TG qualora si faccia , ma dipende un po’: 😮‍💨️
    • Avendo un profilo pubblico sulle piattaforme di del Fediverso, ci sono in potenza tutti i vantaggi di WordPress per questo scopo, ma entrano in gioco fattori secondari. Mi vengono in mente le politiche d’istanza, e il fatto che il feed del proprio profilo sarà gestito diversamente da quello di un microblog isolato: dipende dal software, ma il da cui un bot Telegram può cross-postare potrebbe essere pieno di risposte decontestualizzate, reblog fuori posto, ecc…; tutto filtrabile in teoria, ma se l’obbiettivo è il “just works”, è lecito porsi il problema (e al momento non so bene dire quale piattaforma generi il miglior feed ).
    • Si possono usare generatori di siti statici o altri CMS, ma non è un’opzione per deboli di cuore, ergo ora non ve la accenno nemmeno.

E ok… ma volendo evitare di usare esterni, ed aggiungere casino a quello che si fa, si può pensare: se con soltanto Telegram pubblico si hanno tanti ma lo svantaggio dei bot, e con il privato si hanno tanti svantaggi ma il vantaggio della , la potrebbe essere l’unire queste 2 cose? E allora, la seguente è la soluzione che consiglierei a tutti, invece, perché non cambia di una virgola il … ♻️

Anche solo in questo caso, troppe possibili , quindi descrivo solo la più vantaggiosa (se provaste per conto vostro a ricombinare gli elementi della mia premessa per immaginare diverse, ammesso che la mia mente non sia incappata in un errore di runtime, dovreste trovare meno vantaggi): 💣️

  • 1️⃣️ Si rende il canale che si è sempre usato (seguito da tutti gli utenti storici, e a cui è collegato il gruppo commenti che si è sempre usato).
  • 2️⃣️ Si crea un secondo canale, , senza commenti attivi, il cui scopo è fare da “proxy”.
  • 3️⃣️ Si fa uso di un bot per collegare i due canali, che legga i messaggi inviati dagli admin su uno dei due (a piacere), per riprodurli (e cancellarli, quando necessario) sull’altro.
    • Idealmente, il bot deve ricomporre i messaggi, non inoltrarli, così che sia possibile la sincronizzazione di qualunque modifica. All’inizio o alla fine di ogni messaggio, il bot inserirebbe, in base al caso, un link alla variante dello stesso post sul canale (i post del privato linkano al pubblico per chi ha bisogno di condividere/aprire all’esterno, i post del pubblico linkano al privato per permettere agli legittimi di arrivare da fuori al punto di discussione).
  • ℹ️ Unico punto di : le reazioni. Bisogna sceglierle se tenerle attive in entrambi i canali (avendole così per chiunque ma “non sincronizzate”, sconsiglierei), tenerle attive solo sul principale privato (quello che consiglio), o solo sul secondario pubblico (sconsiglio).

Tutte queste belle congetture però ora finiscono: quale botto telegrammico esiste già che faccia questa cosa, in modo così ideale, e gratuitamente? Statisticamente, credo che debbia già esistere, è un molto … però non lo conosco. A tutti voi che cercate di fuggire dagli spammoni, fatemi sapere se adottereste una soluzione del genere per il vostro canale; eventualmente aggiungete le vostre idee alla questione. Se questo esiste già, lo troveremo; se non esiste, credo di poterlo realizzare con qualche scarsa centinaia di riga di codice, e ospitarlo . 🙀️

In dem Appell wird darauf hingewiesen, dass die Präsenz bei X/Twitter aufgrund der dort betriebenen und politischen Hetze nicht dem Aufklärungsanspruch der Hochschulen gerecht wird. Gleichzeitig sollten Präsenzen auf und anderen Servern im aufgebaut werden, deren dezentrale und moderierte Gestaltung viel eher mit den Regeln eines demokratischen und nachhaltigen Miteinanders vereinbar ist.

The need for future platform reliability/stability from admins seeking to serve their communities well is so significant, I think ...

that I think all of the forks and alternative ( ) platforms would better serve the if they banded together to make just one alternative with a significant amount of momentum behind it.

Take all the good parts from what's out there right now, form an organisation, make compromises, and get to work.

I think maybe the reason why the 's being quite old is because younger people want (save the politically active, which is not mainstream) and older people want (who want to be heard). (And yes, the concept is deceptive in forcibly merging the two.) This is why mainstream young people use Instagram, not Twitter (beyond reading news) and, by extension, the fediverse. Is that just the pitfall of or could it be mitigated in design?

I have threads silenced on Infosec.exchange, .town, and fedia.social. That means people here won’t see stuff from threads, but you have the option to follow and interact or outright block the threads instance.

There are some, though, that are hyper opposed and not finding that to be sufficient. Hypothetically speaking, if I were to create another instance that did hard block threads (activitypub, DNS, firewall, etc), would what would be the type of instance would you like to see?

ewan, to mastodon

A lot of people get annoyed by because of its lack of features.

I get annoyed because alternative software gets shafted when it comes to apps and other services.

Sure, these alternatives can integrate the Mastodon but that means, if they have more features than Mastodon, they will get bottlenecked when it comes down to the Mastodon apps.

Take , a fork of in the lineage, it (like the other Misskey forks) has a lot more bells and whistles than Mastodon, such as the Drive (for better attachment and file use) and MfM (Misskey-flavoured ).

If I want to take advantage of any of that, I either have to go to the PWA of my instance, which is not the best on mobile, or find one of the few native Misskey apps on .

I would much rather not Mastodon have a monopoly on the Fediverse but hey, it already seems to considering all the fucking articles by the major online news sources not even blinking at the mention or focus of alternatives, bar Meta Threads and Wordpress.

It is turning into or already has turned into centralisation by proxy due to the one single lead in a sea of creativity and untapped potential.

We are all in this together, we need to build better infrastructure for other software.

, as a photo-based social platform, isn't affected by this issue. This goes for any of the other types of software besides .

differences between threadiverse folks and microbloggers on the fedi:

  • microbloggers boost a lot, but that's not big on the threadiverse
  • microbloggers tend not to like anything - neither the posts they keep boosting nor the replies to their own posts - whereas this is absolutely common on the threadiverse
  • microbloggers tend not to reply - whereas on the threadiverse, this keeps happening all the time

i totally get why folks from lemmy find mastodon in particular strange

daredevil, to AskKbin in ✨ What is your favorite thing about kbin? ✨
daredevil avatar

You mentioned a lot of things that I generally really enjoy about as well.

⭐ The admin @ernest is an incredibly hardworking, kind, supportive, and an all-around good person. This is my tip top most favorite thing because good leadership and communication is essential to a good and thriving community. Ernest is a star!

Same, he also gets bonus points for listening to, and implementing suggestions. Some of them have come quite quickly as well. These factors when combined have made me feel like I'm really a part of the community.

⭐ I enjoy making scripts/styles for kbin. kbin is the reason I began learning JS, HTML, and CSS. I am so happy I started learning, and it's all thanks to kbin.

Cheers to that, I actually use one of yours -- specifically the one that changes the layout of profile pages.

⭐ No malicious, tricky, over-calculated algorithm. It's very straight-forward and honest here. I love seeing a mix of upvoted/downvoted comments in comment sections too, rather than just top upvoted, because it makes me feel more apart of the conversation with everyone. Your contributions and thoughts won't get drowned out by upvoted witty remarks, that is truly unique to kbin (and maybe elsewhere on the fediverse?).

Agreed -- I think Mastodon also functions similarly. It makes a bit challenging at times, but I'm open to experimenting with it.

⭐ kbin gives me the urge to contribute, interact, and create because our contributions have actual impact. Can't say the same for other sites. Everywhere else is lurk only.

Hard agree -- though it wears on me at times when I'm unable to get some engagement going after keeping at it for so long. I've changed my mindset about it a little while ago, so it's not too bad.

⭐ Tightknit but welcoming. kbin is small enough that I run into familiar people all the time, and I recognize usernames everywhere.

Agreed, and to add onto this -- profile pictures are pretty easily recognizable as well.

⭐ Authenticity. kbin is authentic and real. It's not pushing a product, not manipulating what you see, not building an ad profile. It is what a forum should be.

Yeah, adding on one of your points again -- it's very reminiscent of what used to feel like. However, at the same time, it feels like something more due to the addition of . may not be super popular on /kbin, but I think they're a stellar addition to the forum experience. I've had some nice back-and-forths with users from the comfort of /kbin's UI. I think there's more potential in what you can do with them, too.
