@ernest Ive been running parallel instances between both your #kbin technology & the one #lemmy provides for my group #xq_icebreaker

However in getting around to testing the interoperabilty from your side, I realize that the attribution is off:

https://kbin.social/m/xq_icebreaker@lemmy.ml

Naturally, you are not the owner for any of these groups but you are classed as such.
And datas off.

I get it that you are trying to grow your instance and tech but please do resolve these anomalies once things settle down.

When you look at the MAU (monthly active users) for the top 5 popular #fediverse projects, you see just how many active users Mastodon has compared to the rest.

If you haven't already, you should checkout @peertube, #misskey, @pixelfed and other projects!

Since some people have asked me, here's a quick thread on initial experience comparison between Bluesky and the fediverse. It's important to note that this comparison is somewhat absurd by default because Bluesky is still tiny & unproven, but there's interest so I'm happy to share what I've observed. Also, I don't get into protocol differences because honestly who cares. So:

I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.

The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.

If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.

The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.

i forget who it was that said "a single timeline is unsustainable" (aaron parecki?) but i'm feeling more like the real cardinal sin is publishing to a single profile. i don't mind reading everything in a single view, although making lists certainly helps. it's the publishing that annoys me. i almost never want to send a post to all of my followers. and this goes doubly for replies. i often want to reply within a specific context and only optionally tell my followers about it.

The one thing I do think the AT Protocol is better at than #ActivityPub is data portability. Being built-in at the protocol layer so that you don’t have to do the migration shit (which doesn’t bring your posts) is better. It just is. I think ActivityPub has more potential overall for the social web beyond just Twitter clones, but that part of #ARProtocol is better.

When I first came to the #Fediverse, I stumbled upon the idea that #QuotePosts (or #QuoteTweets or #QuoteToots or #Quotes) are inherently toxic as a feature. At first I thought it might hold some truth; the more I come to think of it, the more I find the idea absurd. Yes, that's a strong word, but let me explain.

You see, many posts (if not the majority) on any social platform are links with a comment. A youtube link. A link to an article. A link to a blog post. Nobody considers this function "toxic" by design.

And this is essentially what a #QuotePost is, as well. A public post in a microblogging platform is... a public microblog post. The idea that it's perfectly fine to post links with blog posts outside the fediverse with a comment, but not links from microblog posts inside the fediverse with a comment, simply makes no sense.

This becomes more obvious if you consider the same exact feature on facebook. You can "share" a facebook post, either with a comment or without one. It becomes a new post with its own comments.

Nobody (afaik) has claimed that Share on Facebook is a "toxic" feature. You don't see anyone complaining about it, or asking Facebook to remove this functionality. The complaints about quotes is a Fediverse peculiarity. Why?

This is a Twitter problem. If Twitter is a toxic community, which permits -or actually promotes- toxic behaviour, and users utilize #QuoteTweets for that, it's not an inherent problem of the feature. We can post links to public content with comments all day and not be abusive. That's what quotes are.

So the problem is not #quotes. The problem might be the idea that the #Fediverse should replace #Twitter. If you see the Fediverse as the new Twitter, it's an easy mistake to blame its features for its negative aspects. But abusive and toxic behaviour is a matter of moderating, not of features. You can be as abusive as you want without having quotes. Having the ability to quote a post is not what will transform you and make you act like an asshole.

The Fediverse is not, and should not be, a Twitter replacement. We can be better than a for-profit public arena.

And you can quote me on that. ​:blobbonedealwithit:​

Just for clarification, I don't run SDF Social. @SDF runs it, not me. The mod is @anthonyg.

Apparently @praetor, who just joined, thought I ran this instance because I sent him an invite because he is an #SDF member.

Today's question for a resilient #Fediverse is whether various different initiatives are willing to collaborate and cross-pollinate, while keeping their independence.

There's great opportunity to increase the cohesion of the #GrassrootsFedi #ActivityPub developer community and creating strong joins:

1. @w3c #SocialCG working on #OpenStandards improvements

2. @fedidevs documenting existing fedi

3. #FEP process on @Codeberg

4. #SocialHub as forum

5. @dansup #FediDB

Please boost ​:boost_requested:​

As part of a wave of layoffs, I got laid off from my backend development job last month as the company's financials I was working with have been steadily decreasing. I applied for another job shortly after, and after a month of interviews and an honestly great response from their team, at the last minute, they told me that they were focusing their hiring efforts away from the US and towards Singapore. With Calckey donations, I don't have enough money to pay for rent or groceries. So I'm asking to #GetFediHired, I'm the lead developer on the Calckey project, and I'm a fullstack, multi-language developer. I have 3+ years of enterprise experience, and I work great on teams as well as solo. Resume and references available upon request.

Dear everybody re ChatGPT etc,

The word you need that you don't know you need is CONFABULATION.

What y'all are calling "hallucination" is, in neurology and psychology (where it means two slightly different things) called "confabulation".

It means when somebody's just making up something and has no idea that they're making things up, because their brain/mind is glitching.

A lot of folks are both trying to understand the AI chatbots and are trying to grapple with the possible implications for how organic minds work, by speculating about human cognition. Y'all should definitely check into the history of actual research into this topic, it will make your sock roll up and down, and blow your minds. And one of the key areas will be surfaced with that keyword.

There have been a bunch of very clever experiments that have been done on humans and how they explain themselves which betrays that there are parts of the mind that are surprisingly - and even alarmingly - independent.

Frex...
