@LWFlouisa well ... Natural News started posting on Diaspora a while back, and that doesn't seem to have done much damage. I feel like we are developing tools for sidelining trolls and griefers on the #fediverse that just aren't possible on the #DataFarms, for both legal and technical reasons, but it takes time to roll them out and educate people on how to use them well.
@LWFlouisa one of the main arguments Ive heard against using #ActivityPub to federate code forges (as proposed by #ForgeFeb) is that it risks opening them up to spammers and griefers. As we've seen in the #fediverse, not everybody follows the Bill and Ted Principle ("be excellent to each other") on federated platforms ;)
#howto use the #fediverse with nearly no internet connection with #AndStatus: Choose in the settings: - to not fetch images - to not fetch avatars - increase the time of sync Now next time you got internet connection, even if shitty as ~1kbs you can let AndStatus sync. Also no problem if internet connection is just accessible for some minutes. Messages get stored offline. You can read, fav., boost, and reply to them any given time. Once you've got internet again even you're replies will be sync.
♲ @besser@horche.demkontinuum.de: Neue besser, der Podcast Folge: Pleroma #S01E05 Das freie dezentrale soziale Netzwerk Pleroma macht den Anfang in unserer Kategorie "Twitter-ähnliche" Netzwerke. Oder wie man sie eigentlich nennen sollte "Microblogging" Netzwerke. Zu Gast ist lain,der Pleroma erfunden hat und kontinuierlich mit anderen zusammen weiterentwickelt
It's aimed at people who have no prior knowledge. If you know someone who is confused by how a decentralised platform works (for example Mastodon compared to Twitter), you might want to send them this link.
