Man, PEOPLE don't trust RT.

kjr,

@phillycodehound RT = Russia Today?

I agree with you bro, I don't understand how there is so many people trusting them in some parts of the world...

Just a warning observation for our own government... Don't support independent, powerful private militias and contractors, like Blackwater.

kjr,

@petergleick hopefully democratic countries learn somethink about the last events and constraint the use of contractors yo very specific tasks. And combat should not be one of them.

I find @louis's take on how / may approach the Fediverse to be highly likely: https://emacs.ch/@louis/110592744496085427

  1. use a divide and conquer approach by proposing to the biggest instances to federate with them by providing money if they do
  2. follow up with the second and third steps of (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) more efficiently thanks to the first move

I hope big instance admins are aware of this issue (this was emphasized from the start as a fragile network dynamics).

kjr,

@empiricism @tfardet @louis I thin Meta is more intelligent... if they do something like that no one would accept and that would be contraproductive for their goals, whateber they are.

kjr,

@empiricism @tfardet @louis License ActivityPub? Who can license it and with which rights? It is an open protocol.

kjr,

@empiricism @tfardet @louis but... ActivityPub is not a creation of Mastodon, is older, it is a W3 protocol, like HTML, etc.
Mastodon just uses it.
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

And the software of Mastodon is just a sofware which supports ActivityPub, like Lemmy, Calkey, Kbin and a lot others. Eben I don't think that Meta will open Mastodon instances, they will use their own software for it.

kjr,

@dansup and that means???.

kjr,

@pieselpriemel @dansup ok... then I understand less... but .... no problem, I was just curious.

Why would I need a or account when I am on ?

kjr,

@tech10 @herag there are just different plattforms which different owners, which communicate between them. Mastodon is a software, that means, if you have an account in a mastodon instance, it is only for this instance, not for all mastodon.

kjr,

@herag @tech10 ah... this is ok too... feel free

I think instance admins should leave it to their users to block (or not). All the tooling is already there; it's very easy for a user to block an entire domain.

As a user, I will definitely block.

kjr,

@darius @null
Just a question, maybe you can help me to understand it. After I read your post, I search for answers in the documentation of Mastodon, and I found that as a user, I can block other users or a domain, but with different results
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#block
That means, when I block a user, I don't get her/his data and she/he doesn't get my data.
But if I block a domain, that means that I silence it, I don't see the data and that from the blocked domain my data is accessible, is it right? That mean, that if as a user I block the instances of Meta, that wouldn't prevent Meta to access my data.
Have I understood well?
The only possibility to block effectively Meta in Mastodon is if the administrator defederates Meta?
Thanks a lot!!

I agree with this take on proposals to block 's rumoured -based service. We should encourage adoption of this defederated approach, even if there is a risk that Meta will try it.

kjr,

@paul Hi Paul, I have another question related to it. In my case, more than defeferate the option will be just to delete my acounts in the Fediverse. I just need a little time until next werk to organize the way out of kbin, since I have a couple of responsabilities there.
I have already altetnative places, but I was curious about Nostr. I have seen your account there and I wanted to know about your opinion about it, comminities that use it, etc.

kjr,

@paul I see, I just saw your account there.

kjr,

@paul what do you think about the actual situation?

kjr,

@paul no, Meta/Fediverse

kjr,

@paul I am in the opposite position. I afraid the consequences of the integration of data graphs (something in which I have experience). After the federation, it will be possible during data retrieval integrate networks of people present in both platforms, match accounts, even with different names but which belongs to the same person (it is one of my professional activities, but I do only with data of dead people). That means, it gives possibilities to enrich a lot the knowledge about each individual.

    Then it is impossible to trust them anymore. It is at least known who was in this infamous meeting?

    kjr,

    @JimmyB @ophiocephalic @jdp23 @mastodonmigration @smallpatatas I don't see that they are doing something to get trust back. Eben something simple like a public apology could help as a start.

    I don't like really the idea

    kjr,

    @billyjoebowers probably he thinks that he is already perfect and that his brain cannot be improved.
    Seriously... I think if he does it, he should be legally prosecuted.

    kjr,

    @bouriquet .... casually when I read that he wants to introduce his products in the head of people the first thing that came in mind was the tendency to explode of his rockets.

    It shouldn’t be an issue that some admins are taking a strong, pre-emptive stance to whilst others play a waiting game.

    The great thing about the Fediverse is that we can decide to move and join an instance that aligns with our own position and values. We should celebrate this flexibility.

    The one thing that will serve ’s interest is if we
    instead divided ourselves to wage a destructive war of words over its plans.

    It would be great if we could avoid that.

    kjr,

    @stefanf28 @GrahamDowns but this hypotetic migration will be possible? As good as I know migration is not part of ActivityPub, but an own development of the Mastodon software. Why should Meta implement it in the own software?

    So Meta (Facebook/Instagram) want to get into the Mastodon space.

    Will it work? Will people prefer that certain-to-be-unfederated federation?

    Here's a Reddit screenshot that is an interesting take on where things are with Mastodon and concerns moving forward.

    kjr,

    @empiricism @HistoPol @davetroy That is different. It is filtering not blocking.
    You don't see their post, but they can see and retrieve yours.
    I use it with some people, I like them, we have contact, but I don't want so see their content (their share adult content often).
