    Picking the right server isn't as important as it seems, because you will need accounts on multiple servers to see and communicate with all the people you want to connect with. Sometimes, it is because of simple #federation failures, but other times, it is because one or more servers participate in #blockwars / #fediblock.

    #Bluesky's #AT_Protocol seems to be pretty complex. And its #federation may even be called "centralized by design", as it is designed to "[send] messages to a much smaller number of big aggregators, which then broadcast that data ... across the network."

    > On a technical level, prioritizing big-world indexing over small world networking has multiple benefits.

    It does ... if every node interacts with every other node on behalf of every one of its users. But if a PDS at pds.example.net mostly interacts with the fifty or so instances where its users have contacts while rarely to never interacting with 10,000 other instances, it doesn't need the BGS firehose, and it can integrate "app views" for its users directly into the same server.

    Also, even most US companies know to use ISO-style dates (YYYY-MM-DD) in URLs, not US style or European style.

      $[tada **Boosts Welcome**] I'm hosting a new software forge, https://lavaforge.org. If anyone would like to join it registrations are open. We're running Gitea 1.18-rc1 and have **federation enabled**. We're one of the only few Gitea instances with federation enabled currently. I've worked hard on giving a nice theme, and things. So people joining and trying it out would be great!

    Wow! I had forgotten about #Elgg. OpenUniverse and I had accounts on an Elgg instance in South America (time-wise, it was right after Mike's initial #Friendica instance closed, so we shifted existing conversations over) and got to see some of the posts about their #federation plans.

    Note: this may have even been before changing the name from #Friendika to Friendica.

    @lxo @clacke's posts sometimes take a while to arrive, whether here or at the Pleroma instance. I suspect that libranet.de has some #federation bugs.

    To what @lxo posted, because vertical scaling ("bigger servers") has its limits, the big #corpocentric #socnets split things up and use technological workarounds to appear to be one big server.

    For example, one of the first things is to move the #database management system ( #dbms ) to a separate machine. Once this happens, hoizontally scaling the database by clustering (multiple servers handling the same db) is possible.

    Next, we can perform similar clustering with the web server, and we can perform similar clustering at the processing layers.

    Once we do this, we can expose things through various interfaces. This is what #cloud providers do with their separate compute, database, and storage services. Each such service relies on hundreds of servers pretending to be one.

    Finally, we come to #federation, where we skip the pretense that everything is one big server and instead have many separate individuals and organizations running servers.

    It isn't inherently more complicated, but it does mean users have to know that we're not all on big-centralized-server.com.

    #Pjuu ( #OtterSite ) starts planning a rewrite that adds #federation ( probably only #ActivityPub ). Looking to become an alternative to #Mastodon and #Pleroma, while still joining the #Fediverse.

    If I may pitch in on on th etopic of "how the fediverse works"...

    Yes, you can explain it with the image of email and email providers. But you rely on "freedom" (whose?) to describe a structure that doesn't explain why newbies can and cannot subscribe to other people or otherwise interact with accounts and posts.

    A different way is stop putting "freedom" into the centre – which in itself is a rather problematic hierarchical approach as it invokes the imagery of landlords dealing with their rowdy tenants – and explain to people the basics of #federation, from which most of the peculiarities and problems of fediverse interactions arise.

    2015 I wrote a piece for Twitter migrants to GNUsocial primarily from the angle of a layperson, explaining the various oddities by pointing to and explaining from federation as the root cause. Perhaps this snippet is of some help:

    #Twitter's #Bluesky describes what they want from a #federation protocol.

    In light of Elon Musk's purchase offer, this may all be moot.

    I just realized that on my Friendica account https://friendica.mrpetovan.com/profile/hypolite I have 659 #Fediverse / #Federation followers, while I only have 114 #Twitter followers, despite the latter network having way more users and cross-posting to and from each other.

    This just shows that network total size just isn't a relevant metrics when choosing a social media platform.

    Today is #Fediverse12, the 12th birthday of the first post published on the #Fediverse by @Evan Prodromou on #Identica.

    Back in late 2016 I'm glad the #Fediverse (comprising OStatus/ActivityPub-compatible social networks) and the #Federation (comprising Diaspora-compatible social networks) welcomed me when my #Facebook account was frozen and I was (and still am) too stubborn to give in to their demand to give me back access to it.

    I've been contributing to #Friendica ever since, mostly through dogfooding through my own single-user node.

    Happy Birthday to us and thank you to everyone who has contributed or still is contributing to this mind-boggling common project.

    β™² @sheogorath@microblog.shivering-isles.com: A good opportunity to highlight the decentralization of the protocol :)

    There are so many easy ways to setup a synapse server nowadays, from your managed setup: modular.im

    Over the official Ansible playbook:

    github.com/spantaleev/matrix-d…

    To my very personal (undocumented ) playbook:

    git.shivering-isles.com/shiver…

    Definitely worth looking into that.
