Every time I have this thought I'm led down the path toward making a Zot / Hubzilla library for Python, but that way lies madness given how many projects I'm on now. I'd love to support / contribute to such a project if it was to come about, though.
The more I think about the #Fediverse the more convinced I am that we need true Hubzilla-style roaming identity to really make federation a superior option.
It doesn't matter how easily we can change instances if we lose nearly everything (including our reputation!) on the way.
Capitalistic economies focus mostly on finding a way to accumulate the surplus inside a specific ecosystem, and when we plan a business, we're mostly accustomed to develop it in that way. Cooperative-solidarity economies on the other way, focus on creating a **constant flow of value** based on participants needs and ecosystem capacity... It is a pretty huge switch - at least for me - to focus on creating a value flow, instead that a value reserve for my projects and my life...
@lain they probably just hold on to the event until somebody else comes along that does care about it.
there's some message brokers and file formats that work that way; they can store "anything" but they do it by ignoring things they don't understand and keeping them around in a box somewhere.
Fucking pissed at white dudes in free software prioritizing exercising their free speech by showing "look, I can make jokes which affect people not like me" and then being like "free software is a movement for everyone"
Nobody has ever questioned whether *I* belong. But I've tried to bring in plenty of other people who left because they didn't feel welcome.
I believe in free software, I want it to be a movement for everyone. Most of these people would say "I do too".
You may have noticed me doing research about the technology stacks being used by #ActivityPub apps, this is because I'm involved in a couple federated projects (both of which are new use cases, and extending the #ActivityStreams format).
One of those (current dayjob) is #MoodleNet (for educators to curate educational resources together), and we now decided to use #Elixir for the back-end, which I explain in detail here:
Hello all at social.coop, I'd like to ask if it would be possible to extend social.coop to other languages.
After living in the Oxford area for 3yrs, unfortunately I had to return to the Netherlands and now trying (to make the best of it and) to set up a Dutch language instance, e.g. nl.social.coop. I'm not sure how to do this, but maybe something with a proxy or DNS?
