    Never heard of #projecteunomia Sounds interesting, in a somewhat scary sense. How serious / confirmed is it?

    Kiwi Farms is a murderous community that gets away with it because of the benefit of the doubt since there aren't any "physical" interactions between Kiwi Farms users and their victims. But the damage they do is real. On the #Fediverse you can block the domain kiwifarms.cc but I'm afraid there is little that can be done to thwart them beyond that.

    #introductions Better late than never, I'm Hypolite Petovan, this isn't my official name but it is my real name for all intents and purposes. I joined the #Fediverse on #Diaspora then #Friendica late 2016 after #Facebook froze my account for using this pseudonym for 10 years straight.

    My social media policy is to read absolutely everything my follows post. As a result, I heavily curate my follow list that will never grow bigger than what it is now mainly for time constraints. Additionally, I don't automatically follow back and unfollowing isn't personal, your content just doesn't fit with my social media usage, no hard feelings.

    I like liberally to signify I read, enjoyed or sympathize with a post without having anything meaningful to contribute further.

    I also block liberally, users and whole instances alike, the world is too big and my time is too limited to give a second chance to bigots, racists, misogynists and transphobes (including TERFs). I host my own single-user node which makes any moderation decision easy.

    My own editorial line is mainly about good-natured humor and social justice. Tone-wise, I do not mind aggressiveness but I do mind who it is targeted at. I do not tolerate edgy shitpost, and neither bad faith nor logical fallacies no matter how soft-spoken they are.

    My personal interests revolve around #programming (mainly #PHP for #Friendica ), #videogames and recently #LEGO, but I'm curious about everything and have trouble specializing in anything and don't follow the latest news for any specific topic.

    Hi! 👋

    He's "a huge social blockchain enthusiast", so I guess all that should be expected. https://www.publish0x.com/at-scottcbusiness ... including dissing #Fediverse platforms (Mastodon, GNUsocial, Friendica, Hubzilla, PeerTube) and Diaspora for "having no users" and being small communities, like islands, but then gushing over no-name blockchain-based and token-issuing socnets whose userbases are probably multiple orders of magnitude smaller.

    @storm I'm not even sure this will be bad for Twitter. One of their primary issues is that their size and centralized nature pushes them toward any possible revenue source. If pay to view tweets becomes a thing, some users may leave, but a few will pay.

    That could benefit both the #Fediverse and Twitter.

    Just had another run in with someone that earnestly asked why #Friendica doesn't have the same amount of users as Facebook or Telegram, and then spouting random nonsense about how hobby (what Friendica is) and business (what Facebook and Telegram are) doesn't necessarily need to be separated, mentioning Elon Musk in the process.

    My patience for someone wanting to make #Friendica into something it isn't and realistically can't be eventually ran out and I blocked them.

    ♲ @hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com: With each new #Facebook scandal like the recent WhatsApp-related one, the #Fediverse welcomes a wave of new users and admins. #Friendica gets its tiny share of the newly converted to decentralized social media. Some stick, most don't, but there's always this one guy (it's always a man) whose first few messages on GitHub are to angrily complain that Friendica isn't user-friendly enough and that it is spelling doom for a project they didn't know the day before and for the #Fediverse as a whole.

    This has been going on ever since I joined the project in 2016, and we're still here. 🤷♂️

    What an awful perspective! If the #Fediverse is an unpleasant place, it is because there are unpleasant people (or ordinary people acting in unpleasant ways) in it.

    I do agree that misusing the ‘title’ field as ‘content warning’ is insufficient. For one thing, even assuming the person captions the post appropriately, now your mind is already exposed to whatever bad content they’re posting. It would be _much_ better to teach people to hashtag all their posts appropriately, so that people who do not wish to see said content can filter it out and people who specifically want to see said content can subscribe to that tag. Mastodon got that part very wrong.

    But the writer’s instance is sometimes part of the problem ... a source of instigation and harassment. Or more correctly, that instance has sometimes been those things. I’ve been fortunate not to see them in my timeline for over a year.

    @musicman My understanding is that some came to the #ActivityPub side of the #Fediverse, but most went to #Gab, #Minds, and similarly #corpocentric platforms.

    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.

    "The post"{https://mst3k.interlinked.me/@Elizafox/105562613778968936} seemed to be a lot of fear-mongering, even more than the article itself.

    (1) #Twitter has millions of users. There is no #ActivityPub nor #OStatus implementation in which an instance hosted on a $5/mo #DigitalOcean / #Linode / #Vultr #VPS could handle the volume of a seamless connection with #Twitter. If they adopted AP OStatus, #Diaspora, or any other current open federation protocol, instances that didn't use firewall blocking would topple once the two userbases had sufficient interconnections (within a few hours or a few days after they started federating).

    (2) Twitter's business model is to push ads disguised as tweets. If their users could escape those and still interact with all the same contacts, they would. I'm certain that Twitter's management know this. They also turn all links into tracking links, and sell access to media (images, video, audio) uploads of important news events to news organizations.

    (3) Most Fediverse instances are financed out of the admin's pocket. Some have financial contributors, but nothing like Twitter's revenue. As the largest and best-financed instance, they would immediately have to start implementing modifications to make AP or other existing federation protocols useful to them, and those modifications would (as Mastodon's currently do) become unofficially mandatory in order to be compatible.

    (4) This isn't the first time that Twitter has considered federation, though this may be the first time they openly discussed it. Back when Identica was still a happening place (during Twitter's fail-whale days), Twitter considered federating. They didn't do it then, and I honestly do not believe they will do it now.

    (5) I'd say that Twitter's #BlueSky initiative is more meant to try to get bidirectional connections across #Facebook's moat and wall than it is to surround Twitter with a cloud of #Fediverse instances.

    @sullybiker You see, you're taking a longer term view. Most people I see posting online are only thinking "this will make it harder for people I don't like to post online or to organize their events", while I'm looking more at #$CORPORATIONS can coordinate their activities in opposition to a smaller entity like a #Fediverse site".

    It's distressing, because people aren't seeing the precedents that they're allowing to be set.

    I don't know anything at all about #Parler, except that it is supposed to be a site for right-wing folks. But what happens when the political climate changes and suddenly #MastoSoc is being kicked off of every possible service (along with the cloud of instances who hold their same views as mastodon.social and its userbase)?

    On this episode of the "TROM" podcast, @gargron (one of the Mastodon developers and founder / leader of the project), @heluecht (one of the #Friendica developers) and some others were guests, talking about the #Fediverse. https://www.tromsite.com/videos/#fvp_277,0s

    Caution: this episode is over three hours long, so I have not listened (and will likely only listen to a fraction of it).

    I wish @tio had also brought someone from #GNU_Social and someone from #Pleroma (and maybe @mike@loadaverage.org @mike@z.macgirvin.com to represent #Hubzilla and #Zap (and #Mistpark, #Redmatrix), and @dansup developer and project founder / leader of #PixelFed, and perhaps someone from #PeerTube, #Misskey, and so on). The other thing I wish had been done is to slice this far-too-long episode into four pieces, each an hour or less in length.

    Sorry, Michael, I don't know whether you're officially the project leader, so I left that unsaid.

    He's talking about things that decentralized networks (and the people and software projects involved in them) can do to be better (more attractive to users) than #corpocentric networks. Naturally, he's focused on the #ActivityPub subset of the #Fediverse, but some of this applies to other decentralized networks as well.
