    It's not a matter of choosing between "the tech angle or the human angle". If these guys are not peddling vapourware, then they *MUST* solve the tech problems at some point. But those problems are *hard*; decentralized networks were designed that way from the ground up because people found that tacking that feature on later just doesn't work.

    I am not impressed with any group of people who ask for money while shrugging off the technical challenges they'll face.

    If they had a working proof-of-concept, then I would take them seriously. (All they've got now are videos of mockups that just look like Diaspora with a nice theme and auto-playing gifs.) If they showed some semblance of understanding about the technical challenges, and explained why existing networks can't work, then I would take them seriously. But all I see now is a "guys, this will be awesome; don't worry about how we'll actually make it work" marketing pitch.

    I value all of those things, and existing Facebook alternatives already provide all of them. The reason they seem to focus on decentralization so much is because that's the *hard* problem... which really makes me suspicious when I see these new guys just shrugging and saying they'll figure that out later.

    What existing alternatives lack is:
    1) casual-user-friendliness; and
    2) a critical mass of users.

    If these guys can provide requirement 1 and still promise all those other features, then they should either be able to build user-friendliness on top of the existing networks, or provide a reason why they can't, other than they can't be bothered to try.

    If they have a valid point, then one wonders why they wouldn't contribute "good new features" that offer a "fun experience" to the existing Facebook alternatives, rather than creating YAN (yet-another-network).

    The final part of my interview with In-Sight Journal's Question Time about the term "Nones" is up, wherein I posit what a better future of nonreligious terminology might look like, while apparently on a journey to Mount Doom.

    But the quality varies a lot depending on where you get them from!

    I was amazed to find out that the KKK even took root in !Canada in the 1920s. Apparently they were actually burning crosses in the hills around my town (Burlington), robes, hoods, and all, and even carried out an operation where they burned a cross on a local lawn while separating a black veteran from a white woman who wanted to marry. The cops just let it happen, and mayor of Burlington supported the KKK.

    A while back I had to disable HTTP/2 on my instance or it wouldn't federate with #Mastodon instances, which were using a broken HTTP library. That seems to have been fixed since 2.4.0, which was released last year in May. As near as I can tell from my follows, everyone's on at least 2.6 by now, most 2.7. So I'm going to try to re-enable HTTP/2 on my instance, and see if everything works now. Here goes! !GnuSocial
