We can now connect to #BlueSky accounts from here, but both sides need to enable it.

We're supposed to be opt-out folks, but too many "safety" advocates are stopping the #SocialWeb from ever becoming ubiquitous. Imagine being so scared of "bad" speech that you demand users and server admins add each other's domain to their settings before they could communicate or even browse to those sites. We'd all still be on AOL.

Thank you @snarfed.org@snarfed.org.

The buzziest new thing in social networking is a big deal. It’s also very confusing. And it’s not actually new. Let’s talk about it.«

If so, how? As whole new communities continue to join the fediverse, how should the user experience evolve?

like you said, the won't become as ubiquitous as email if our default is opt-in. because most people won't understand the settings etc.

we need an explicitly pro connection but anti intentional harassment federation policy (that I think would be very popular). instead the default is becoming having a network where nobody can stumble on anything upsetting. that's not the open web.

deal with spam, don't limit browsing.

I've got some thoughts about how the tech world ignores the needs of users with cognitive disabilities like dementia. Hit me hard this week.

There are degrees of dementia. Some people live with mild or moderate forms for years and deserve respect, dignity and as much freedom as we can offer them. That includes access to the internet.

If every article, podcast episode and video was natively an post, we'd need quote posts but want them to operate differently. They should count as a boost but with a clear indication that the person you are following also wants you to see their comment. How should that look? Maybe they wouldn't themselves be boostable...

I saw your reaction to the EC's more recent toot: https://social.network.europa.eu/

Gotta say that EC's messaging is quite confusing. Hope there'll be more follow-up soon.

Yesterday I attended a @commonsnetwork organized event in The Hague about and building , and among the crowds of representatives of many different institutions there, there was A TON of interest for decentralized technologies.

If there's opportunity, it is now.

involves the devious practice of passing people 💩 turd sandwiches wrapped in glossy paper, and have the recipient be happy and surprised when opening them.

Because only outward packaging is all that matters, the superficial layer. Hypercapitalism aggressively teaches to look no further. To not see deeper value and meaning. For its practioners, which we all are to an extent, superficiality is thus the "Return on Lack of Investment" we get in return.

We may value more.

Topic open at movement for your pleasure 🤗

Some further thoughts:

🤔 Aren’t we in modern society too focused on superficial things, preferring objective perspectives?

🤔 Isn’t our run-amok economic system of hypercapitalism reinforcing that, and actually thriving by it?

🤔Aren’t corporate (anti) Social Media prime examples of how society is dragged into superficiality?

🤔 How then can we do better on the where we focus on the essence of “Being social”?

If you're thinking about yourself when you're using social media, focused on how you're presenting yourself to others, not how you're contributing to the public conversation, you're doing it wrong. And it's gonna make you depressed instead of happier. This might be the disconnect that leads us to think about it so differently.

When new services join the , it works best if there's an associated default app. Everything shares the protocol but an app can be designed to best deal with a certain type of content. I use by @mozilla right now for articles, but it's not federated. I wonder if @omnivore can't be the default app for our AP enabled and future.

implementing is huge for the concept of . Their articles will be native to the . The boosts, likes and comments will be on a writer's work (and often their own website/domain), not on separate posts that reference the piece locked up in a variety of corporate platforms. Making it much simpler for the great stuff to go viral, unlike with RSS or email. This functionality is our killer app here. It will make so much more innovation possible too.

Can we make running a server for your business/org as simple and cheap as a web or email server? That's where we need to go. Standard. Expected. We just need more people here to reach to provide the incentive to make this happen. That's my only hope with . Full federation would bring so many reasons to invest, if we can do it quickly and effectively "lock them open".

Maybe will overwhelm corporate platforms with so much garbage designed to be irresistible to the algos, that it drives everyone to find refuge here. We are perfectly designed to be immune in the ways they are designed to be susceptible. No desperate need to maximize attention for profit. Human-based virality and moderation. Hopefully these qualities become seen as reasons to be here and tools worth paying for amid the oncoming onslaught.

Have you heard of any arguments from users for not turning on federation? I can't imagine one. Any failure to do so yet has to be people who haven't heard of it or don't understand what it is.

The diversity of network and UX types across the fediverse/social web that my little Friendica server sees is astounding. This is just Diaspora and ActivityPub federated content since Bluesky is integrated through a client API not AT.

For me, the is about news. Those I follow determine the river I see here, only their boosts deciding how likely I'll see a post (but we're not supposed to see everything). Hashtags should let me filter that by subject matter. Replies should be nested with the most popular on top. Keeping news aggregation (, etc) as a separate service from microblogging ( etc) is a failure to take advantage of what makes open networks so much better than closed.
