wisdomchicken,

Yeah that’s wrong, twitter posts don’t show up in Bluesky at all. Completely separate network

wisdomchicken,

488k is the number of posts, they have 19k followers. Pretty great news still tho

wisdomchicken,

I think the idea is that the NSFW servers also federate with nonNSFW. So I guess it solves the problem of seeing posts about the news when you want to browse porn?

BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. The CBC should do the same.

As it says in the title, the BBC is starting its own Mastodon instance. I think the CBC (and other news networks) should do similar. Particularly with the recent passing of Bill C-18 it seems like a world where the links we share are crossposts to news organization’s own content is the perfect resolution to that whole issue.

wisdomchicken,

Evan Prodromou (@evan) , one of the co-authors of ActivityPub is super interest in getting Canadian news organisations on board the fediverse. He gave a talk about that last night actually: cosocial.ca/@evan/110809723914430376

If you’re serious about this, you could totally reach out to him, I’m sure he would love to hear from people in CBC

wisdomchicken,

Also, you might want to take a look at zdf.social/ and ard.social

ZDF and ARD are the two biggest broadcasters in Germany, and they both have their own ActivityPub (Mastodon) server.

In case you needed some extra convincing that other large mainstream news organisations also have realised that this is actually a good idea that makes sense ;)

A big news org from France is also on Mastodon with like 50k followers, but I cannot remember the name right now

wisdomchicken,

gods tagging someone’s masto directly from lemmy, and them being able to directly respond via masto is just so fucking nice

wisdomchicken,

Welcome to the club! I did an audible ‘oooooh’ the first time ActivityPub really clicked with me lol.

What are you Reading? (August 2023) (lemmy.world)

I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading....

wisdomchicken,

I just finished The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. Its so fucking good, amazing worldbuilding, story and message. It really explores all the potential interesting ways that you can envision different future worlds in ways that other SciFi often doesnt. I’ve never read anything like this before.

wisdomchicken,

Love Chamber’s works so much. Its such a warm bath of comfort.

wisdomchicken,

Yeah I really love the Children Of series. I just realised that part 3 is finally out, so now I know what I’ll be reading next!

wisdomchicken,

Oh this is great to hear, I love Ruin and Time, and havent read Memory yet. So if thats even better, woah

Mastodon is easy and fun except when it isn’t (erinkissane.com)

My purpose in gathering this informal, conversational feedback is to bring voices into the “how should Mastodon be” conversation that don’t otherwise get much attention—which I do because I hope it will help designers and developers and community leaders who genuinely want Mastodon to work for more kinds of people refine...

wisdomchicken,

People having issues with Mastodon isn’t an attack on your identity that you have to lash out like that lol. It does illustrate the point of the scolding culture and superiority feeling perfectly though, so in that sense it’s actually a great comment

wisdomchicken,

Yes! One of the main reasons lots of people use Beeper

wisdomchicken,

As a side note, Ian betteridge, who has the law named after him for the phenomenon you reference, is quite active on the fediverse

wisdomchicken,

NodeBB is also working on activitypub integration

wisdomchicken,

The core premise of federation is that people have the right of association. It’s people core right to say ‘no we don’t want to federate with you’. The microblogging side of fedi has figured this mostly out at this point. Not sure why this is a big deal
