Is something finally going to federate with bluesky?

From an e-waste perspective not having a battery is really cool. The article doesn’t mention this, but the plastic appears recycled too. I wonder how it types?

I’m surprised nobody has yet jail-broken Samsung and LG TVs and made a custom Tizen ROM

Truly amazing how many journalists have drank the big tech kool-aid.

I don’t get why people are so interested in the fediverse.

Because Mastodon is Twitter without the possibility of an Elon Musk and Lemmy/Piefed is Reddit without the possibility of a Steve Huffman. You clearly feel that you can do better than the collective efforts of the ActivityPub devs so I am rooting for you!

“Lemmy” is actually not a platform like Reddit, it’s software and the network of instances running that software is decentralized (Lemmy uses the ActivityPub protocol) meaning each instance is operated by a different person (or group). There are also other similar softwares like Piefed and mBin that work pretty well with Lemmy. That is all to say that if an Admin or Mod is “getting fascisty” you can block that instance, join another, or even create your own. That’s the beauty of ActivityPub!

only be indexed if you are using the google

?

It’s not a single person instance either, it’s just using your own domain in your handle.

It’s a for profit company founded by jack dorsey and currently led by a cryptocurrency fanatic

The CEO comes from the world of crypto and it is a for profit company

Can you link to one of these other instances?

There is only one bluesky it’s literally centralized

I didn’t say extremist I said toxic but really anyone who’s poorly socialized will go where they’re allowed, which in Lemmy terms means general catch-all instances with loose moderation like .world and .ml.

If they choose to migrate to another instance, it will likely be a more extremist instance with poor moderation that has been significantly defederated.

In theory this is how it should work, but in practice the toxic people tend to move to general purpose more laissez-faire places like .world or .ml, which makes de-federating and cutting off 30% of all users a difficult decision for anyone trying to have a community.

The answer is less centralization, but that can’t be forced. beehaw.org (for example) made the decision to cut off .world and they are better for it. But they are a large-ish instance in their own right.

Exactly, it also means we can have different regions for different types of conversations, much like in the real world.

Why would someone who doesn’t like blocking and de-federation like “federated platforms”?

“You censored me for my opinion”

“What opinion was it?”

“…”

“What opinion was it Anakin?”

I’m surprised there’s no fedi version of Facebook but I’m also sure as the fediverse evolves we’ll see the return of personal websites but with activitypub-based social features.

They’ve been extremely transparent about this:

Nobody’s mentioned Homarr or CasaOS but if you want an out of the box “Just works” but still open source experience they’re the best bet.
