#Trunk is a great project I just learned about that helps new #fedizens (users of the #fediverse) find interesting people to follow and interact with. Trunk provides lists of users who have volunteered for this, sorted into topic categories like 'vegan' or 'furry' or 'horror':

@wjmaggos @darrenoneill I tried evangelizing the #fediverse to a Youtube creator. He pointed out that tweets mostly are about reach. I like this much better as a community but

A) You don't have any *real* popular folks here. There's no critical mass. No one person carries a significant percentage of Fediverse followship.

B) There is a lot of self-segregation here. Communist furries to the left of me, frog loving fashes to the right of me, stuck in the middle with...???

Bonjour le #fediverse, j'ai une #lazyweb question, au sujet de #nextcloud.

Depuis l'époque où j'ai installé ownCloud 4 sur mon serveur, mon cloud est sur id-libre.org/cloud. Et maintenant, mon cloud tourne sous Nextcloud 15.02 et, depuis pas mal de temps, j'aimerai le passer sur son propre domaine, en cloud.id-libre.org.

Je n'ai pas beaucoup trouvé d'info sur le sujet. Est-ce que des admins d'instance auraient quelques idées ?

♲ @wakest@mastodon.social: I am so glad the #fediverse exists. It is so vibrant and alive these days. For all the bullshit and insanity here it feels human in a way that no capitalist run - ad supported - venture funded space ever has.

@xurizaemon doesn't that mean that each #fediverse app would have to implement this though? Wouldn't it be better for everyone if we could convince Maciej to implement AP (or relevants bits thereof) so that any and all fediverse apps can be used in place of the birdsite?

"Pinboard lets you bookmark from any browser, connect up to three Twitter accounts (and favorites), and sync with popular services like Instapaper or Pocket."

I wonder if we could convince Maciej Cegłowski to give users the option to choose three #fediverse accounts to link instead (or some of each)?

All #fediverse apps ought to have an opt-in option for DMs to be sent to the email address they used to register their fediverse account. Discuss.

@sean maybe the solution is to come at the problem sideways and start talking to podmins about it? If a significant number of podmins were willing to move to an AP-compatible soft fork of Diaspora or install an AP plug-in, a team could be formed to do the create it. Then all podmins would have the option to connect to the #fediverse, regardless of what the #Diaspora devs themselves think about it.

@sean I feel your pain bro, and I know it must be particularly frustrating given you history with the project. My unsolicited advice is to give it time. By the end of this year (surely!), every other federated app that's still kicking will have some kind of AP support, and they will be the only app left out a growing, thriving #fediverse. At that point, users will start jumping ship, and the Diaspora devs will have to re-revaluate their #NIH attitude to AP.

@bhaugen #SSB, like any distributed/ #P2P system, is perhaps more structurally resistant to capitalist domination than server-client systems based on publishing stuff to the web. But for many of the same reasons, it's much harder for Jo User to understand and use (and the #fediverse is already harder than #DataFarms). I mean, I haven't figured out how to install an SSB client myself yet ;-)

@bhaugen
> Have capitalists dominated the fediverse yet?

Not yet, but what's stopping them? History makes it clear that relying on the decentralized nature of the protocol is not enough. If we don't want the #fediverse going the way of email (vast majority of users on a handful of #DataFarms), we need ways to ensure that both software development and the deployment of non-capitalist instances are economically sustainable. The point I was making was that #PlatformCoops is one way to do that.

@ng0 The fights are not about software, they're about politics. Some of us want the #fediverse to be a #CommonCarrier network that allows anyone to communicate without anyone, without permission. Some of us want it to be a #NoHomers club (see the Simpsons episode with the Stonecutters), where only the suitably enlightened are allowed to communicate (as decided by ???).
@kaniini @feld @href

My theory is that the #fediverse has become a victim of its own success. It's taken a huge, highly focused effort by a large number of people to get a network of apps and instances to successfully interoperate. Now we've achieved that, we have no idea what to do with it, so we imitate YT and birdsite drama, and waste time and energy in border squabbles.

♲ @zauberstuhl@diaspodon.fr: Currently the federated web holds 35 projects with 9 different protocols (source: the-federation.info) all trying to connect and communicate with each other. But does that actually work?
