@alexl@rigelk@320x200@pixelfed@rra Ok. I get that. Still, the authentication with my Mastodon instance could still happen, since it works in the client, right? Then, in the case the instance are not federated, It could propose 2 things: either create a new note with a link to this video page attached to my comment, or just inform me of the impossibility of the action. Right?
@alexl@rigelk@pixelfed@320x200@rra I don't think the multi account on multiple services is a major problem. It would be easier to have one Auth for all, for sure.
But let's say I want to comment under a video on a peertube instance, why would not I be able to authenticate from the client interface of that peertube instance into my mastodon instance and be served with a comment form that will post a toot for me linked to that video.
@rigelk@320x200 I really appreciate @pixelfed initiative. It also implements ActivityPub in another language which is also part of the trip I guess. What I wish though is that #Pixelfed would focus on image manipulation and collections and leave the commenting part to Mastodon/Pleroma/GnuSocial types. Now, as @rra mentions, we probably need to figure out way to enable commenting within the Pixeldfed or Peertube interface with a Mastodon/Pleroma account, which should not be that hard, right?
@rigelk Thx for these explanations. Very enlightening. Indeed, that's how I saw Peertube<>Mastodon interaction, focusing on the commenting part. Why isn't #Pixelfed following the same model?
Anyway, I'm in favor of the unix way where one tool does one thing best. Which means the #fediverse could move into a form of a distributed micro-service architecture in a way, right?
@320x200 Yes, that's where I'm going to. I would use the #pixelfed interface to browse a feed of photos, a #peertube interface for videos, etc. So should we build a generic #activitypub backend then? Or just very specialized ones? I like how #peertube is using #mastodon for commenting and staring videos. But afaik Pixelfed is implementing these functionalities natively. And I'm not even mentioning that Mastodon does image and video hosting itself too. Aren't we reinventing the wheel every time?
@Olm_e Yeah. NYCmesh is growing fast. Other times, other goals, other tech choices, other culture. It's nice to see that the decentralize, bottom up networking trend is revived all over again, 20 years later. ;)
@varx Good question. I see myself w/ others in the company wanting to provide that space for colleagues to use. I believe in decentralized communication networks and I see a potential for professionals to use that for whatever they see fit. I think the company I work for has the kind of people and mindset to put this to good use. I personally think the things I would post there would be different from the things I post here with some overlap, for sure. I'm interested in exploring that difference
Je me rends compte que pour raisons familiales il va être assez difficile pour moi de trouver du travail avant Septembre, et je ne veux pas perdre la main pour autant. Je cherche donc une association ou structure non-marchande intéressée par un coup de main bénévole en administration système (y compris basique comme de l'assistance aux utilisateurs), en région parisienne ou en télétravail... Evidemment sur du libre ou de la migration vers du libre.
