at $3/month you can get hardware that can comfortably host a #pleroma instance.
pleroma is designed to be easy to host on a potato, because one of the main ideological points of the project is that the fediverse is best off when there are many small instances working together instead of larger instances
-
facebook is being deleted, but at least there's still twitter
on second thought, nevermind
-
Q: what's a sex worker who uses the fediverse?
A: a prostitoot
ok ok ok I'll stop
-
@deadsuperhero literally the people who make the porn are coming to the fediverse, that's a BFD
-
@deadsuperhero
I mean when peertube came out I was like hmm I wonder if it will be used for porn
I think that is an obvious answer now
-
the addition of switter to the fediverse proves that every system will evolve until one can easily access porn with it
-
besides #feather i am also pondering a soundcloud-like frontend to pleroma
-
@tek
FOSTA/SESTA was essentially designed to take out backpage.com and craigslist "personals" (ads for sex work with "donations" in all reality)
it does weaken the CDA, so it is important to be mindful of the content that is crossing your instance, but that's probably about it
-
@seanl @Tanuki
indeed, i have been working on #feather which is a #pleroma frontend that is facebook-like, and there is also #aardwolf coming along
beyond that, there is diaspora too, which i guess will probably eventually go activitypub.
-
inline media looks really good on #feather
-
not bad for an evening's work
-
hmm, this is the first time i have ever done a #followfriday but i guess i will do one
@maloki - one of the better "ethical compasses" mastodon ever had
@lain - main developer of #pleroma has to review my shitty patches that's worthy of a mention in and of itself
@deadsuperhero - documenting the whole fediverse experiment and keeping track of all the key players
@cwebber - main editor of the activitypub spec, always a good read
@dianora - a fellow veteran of the IRC wars

Mastodon: "We'll protect you from Cambridge Analytica and Palantir!"
meanwhile they are using the same big data search engine that Cambridge Analytica and Palantir use 🤔
-
i believe strongly that the "locking parents up over student truancy" measure is highly unconstitutional, seeing that you are punishing a third party for the student's actions
-
@lain @a_breakin_glass
E2E PMs are basically impossible in this type of architecture because the instance would need to hold the private key anyway
otherwise you wind up with problems like which device holds which private key, etc
OMEMO is thrown around as a solution for this, but it's not. in OMEMO, it's 1-to-1 relationships with the messaging service, while in the fediverse, it's N-to-1
-
@lain
I think the really big picture is that Pleroma can actually serve as a competent backend for *anything* you want to build on ActivityPub, while Mastodon is pretty much stuck in the microblogging space.
All you need to bring is the frontend of your choice really.

@clacke @Michcioperz
while Slack would be a step in the wrong direction, freenode right now is "too big to fail" and that has it's own share of problems.
i would like to see something decentralized like matrix win out in the long run
-
in other words: fediverse is not and should not be considered a {Twitter, Facebook, Friendster, LinkedIn, whatever} replacement.
instead fediverse should be considered fediverse and exist on it's own merits
-
this is why product erasure is a common marketing strategy.
fediverse should not acknowledge Twitter. things like relay bots should also be discouraged.
otherwise you just legitimize Twitter as a platform.
-
god these mastodon people totally do not understand the threat model
it's not evil sysadmins
it's techbros who will be more tempted to snoop through the data to find new people to troll
i feel like people intentionally misunderstand what the threat model is when it comes to dealing with marginalized people
