The waiting list is still very long at this point. Probably don’t expect to get in for like 2 weeks…

Implementing mastodon.social instead of proper Mastodon, implementing no other fedi software – this scheduler has much potential/work ahead

What you see on Bluesky is a lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances though, it’s only their identities. Their connection to the AT protocol still goes through the central Bluesky server.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, the way their model is set up, it costs a lot to host a federated server so no one is doing it.

Fyi @informapirata@mastodon.uno I have crossposted the meme to !fedimemes@feddit.uk where the audience might be a bit more appreciative of seeing memes :D

Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use “Person” instead of “Group”. But idk the technical details for that.

So you mean, thematically focused on the fediverse? Or able to listen to over the fediverse?

Closed for registrations = no instance user accounts

This Bix guy seems a bit butthurt.

Like, I am sure there are dozens of definitions for what “social web” is and when it began. And that sentence about Evan surely is sus, but is one sentence on one foundations website. I’m still thinking that this foundation will be pretty irrelevant.

I understand your sentiment, but you do realize that in the end someone has to pay to keep that space running, right?

The Lemmy update notes in June said something about improved interoperability with WordPress though

Hey @nutomic@lemmy.ml quick question: how would I go trying to get this Wordpress blog to show up in lemmy as a community? Are we able to fetch like that yet? Thanks!

Oh you could absolutely meme about the protocol itself and the way it is implemented. lots of potential there.

The statistics thing is a downside of how Mastodon implements ActivityPub.

Two possibilites:

1. I think you can simply hide the counts if it irritates you.

2. You can install Fedifetcher to pull in missing interactions to your local server: https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher

I’m not sure the comparison to suicide holds up. I could just as easily compare it with migration where it is absolutely true that people will find a way to migrate even if you take away the easier methods. It’s simply completely different things.

Evolving ActivityPub is not easy, any additions to the protocol take a lot of time and discussions between the various implementers.

Thats probably a complete nonstarter in a federated network. The metadata needs to be sent via Activitypub, ergo it has to be public.

This is the US, minors posting themselves would also lead to arrests.

(And the actual platform with a reputation for minors selling their nudes would be Snapchat)

The article explains it in one case, an adult woman verified the account and then they posted a minor’s videos on it instead.

But the article also said that they only know about 30 cases in 5 years in the US. Which doesn’t sound like a huge amount to me personally (still too many obviously)

Yeah.

Diaz set up an account and had a woman verify it as hers. That woman, whom police didn’t identify, later quit OnlyFans. But her account remained live and accessible to Diaz. He filled it with videos of the underage girl

That’s really not easy to catch, no matter what platform you are. Some people will do complicated shit to evade the eyes of the law for their illicit activities.
