The fedivers is all #4opens so should not be used for anything that should be P2P encrypted. It's important to keep this clear to users by not being focused on the fig leaf of "hardening" security as the is non it's a very successful #OMN open media network and it's value lies in this.
How hard would it be to make an AP implementation that was modular enough that all other AP server software could become relatively simple plugins (modulo the inherent complexity of supporting their post types, like the PeerTube player)? Is any existing AP server implementation modular like this?
This is one of the basic ideas behind the #OMN project, but it's hard to move people and community's beyond the individualism of our current tech/thinking.
In the era of #climatechaos and #XR people who are #blocking the needed social change in tech are criminals, that are playing an active role in the genocide of our societies and peoples due to social and ecological breakdown.
The last 20 years of #techshit has obviously been both pushing this problem and doing almost nothing to stop it. On the #openweb tech side, we are still being prats on his.

We self-host nearly 3000 videos on our server http://visionon.tv, and you can watch over, 8000 more federated videos on activism and technology. Self-hosting costs real money which we don't have, if you would like to support this #DIY#openweb then set up a recurring donation here https://opencollective.com/open-media-network to keep his space #OMN available for people to step away from the #dotcons mess we are all in.
If you would like an eduction on what a different world could look like https://visionon.tv/videos/local?sort=-trending&s=3 spend a few hours a day watching videos on #visionontv then comment and share them with your friends - be the change you would like to see.
The poison that is pop #postmodernism is that it pushes away shared world-views, and thus is a useful companion to the dominant #neoliberalism of our economic #mainstreaming mess.
Both of these ideologies are now dead and rotting, but this rot is festering the current mess spreading.
#Visionontv is a grassroots media project that aims to provide an alternative to mainstream media by creating and distributing independent video content. The project has been running for over ten years and is based on the principles of openness, collaboration, and decentralization. It uses #FOSS open-source software and decentralized platforms to create and distribute activist video content.
One of the key features of the project is its participation in the Open Media Network (#OMN), a decentralized network of media sites that share content and promote independent media that is not controlled by any single entity. The project emphasizes the importance of grassroots community-driven media, where people and groups can create and share their own content.
The #OMN project is a decentralized network of media sites that share content and promote independent media not controlled by any single entity. The project emphasizes the importance of grassroots community-driven media, where people and groups can create and share their own news content. The goal of the #OMN project is to create a more equitable and just society by challenging the #mainstreaming narrative and promoting independent media to do this.
The #OMN Modding Process is based on a clear project statement with a "don't be a dick" rider on the end. Users can become mods after being around for a bit.
Hamish Campbell is an #openweb organic intellectual and a part of the #OMN. He is the owner of the website http://hamishcampbell.com, which features his projects, videos, and blog posts. He is also active on social media platforms such as the #Fediverse, Twitter and YouTube. Hamish is interested in the intersection of politics and technology and believes that all code is ideology solidified into action. He is critical of contemporary code based on capitalism.
#fediverse we are going to have waves of #mainstreaming people coming into "our" #openweb counter currents, bringing a lot of non-native, unthinking blinded mess with them, they will push this mess over us as common sense then they will retreat back to #mainstreming and point at us covered in mess... "look these guys are covered in mess we can't work with them...
The #OMN is a project focused on linking alt/grassroots media. In the context of the need for a rebooted #openweb and avoiding the #blocking of this by #fashernista and #geekproblem agenda.
Meany #fashernistas have a troubling view of theory and practice. All good horizontalists understand that they come from practice. At the basis of this is #DIY that is working through practice to build theory.
To start from theory go ground and round and round then try and put this into practice, ends in a dizzy mess. When this mess is imposed as a solution, we obviously get more #techshit to compost or academic wank to clean up.
The "protocol wars" of new #openweb protocols, including #bluesky, #Nostr, and #activertypub, am suggesting that bridges between them are a good solution to the current issues. All of these protocols are #4opens and #openweb native, which is a positive development. However, the cultures of these protocols are different and this can create messiness in the discussions.
I advocate for a grassroots #DIY culture and urge people to focus on building bridges rather than adding to the mess.
@raccoon so we ignore this mess and push the content across with a bridge - we make the protocols into "dumb pipes" this is the path of the #OMN
I understand this is the best of the BAD solutions, but it's easy and most impotently "permissionless" so we can seed diversity. From this we might get somewhere not #blocking
@evan I know you said the activitypub spec was frozen but it seems like there are some flaws that might need to be addressed. Can you point me to some writings on how the spec or the tech can be improved to do a better job at preventing this https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/110272951321280411
This shouldn't be a burden put on the individual. I know there are bad people everywhere, but we can surely do better
At the #OMN we run two contriversal small instances and have little problem with SPAM and hate, we very rearlly block - but we do nurture community, we build "trust".
Federating "blocking" is a bad way of building "trust" and is a dangerous way to spread control/fear and lack of community.
On balance, with out "democratic governance," it's likely a bad idea #geekproblem
OK, had to close then open new accounts on #visionontv#peertube because of #spam, the spam is starting agen - the is an update that allows you to put new accounts on ask/moderation, we need to upgrade at some point to get this.
Interesting this is exactly the way our ten-year-old #OMN project handles flows as is the "new" moderation in #bluesky... if we don't manage to go to the world, the world come to us... well more like the world walks right past us looking the other way and takes the big bundle of bills from capitalism.
This is normal, we are still doing needed work, but better would be good to :)
We are having an increasing signal-to-noise problem as more #mainstreaming people flood back to the #openweb we need much stronger tools and myths and traditions to mediate this mess... shovels and composting comes to mind #OMN
So, I think I've dug as deeply into the #hachyderm drama as I need to, and settled on some conclusions.
Most basically, the best insights came from seeing conversations on another platform: discord.
Admins from both sides were talking. And as it's a chat platform, the engagement and conversation was clearly more direct, free, expressive and clarifying.
If the fediverse wants to be the new internet, seriously, it needs to growup and move on from just microblogging.
This is noise - the #Fediverse is over 40 codebases for this to be signal you would likely have to be talking about #mastodon and even then it's still kinda noise.
#mainstreaming is bringing a "signal-to-noise" issue to the #openweb this is not a big problem, but it is something we need to mediate.
