Thanks for the goblin tools link, that site looks really helpful for breaking down big tasks into small steps!

The waiting list is still very long at this point. Probably don’t expect to get in for like 2 weeks…

Spotify itself takes an even bigger cut

Implementing mastodon.social instead of proper Mastodon, implementing no other fedi software – this scheduler has much potential/work ahead

Found J.D. Vance’s account

What you see on Bluesky is a lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances though, it’s only their identities. Their connection to the AT protocol still goes through the central Bluesky server.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, the way their model is set up, it costs a lot to host a federated server so no one is doing it.

Fyi @informapirata@mastodon.uno I have crossposted the meme to !fedimemes@feddit.uk where the audience might be a bit more appreciative of seeing memes :D

Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use “Person” instead of “Group”. But idk the technical details for that.

Thanks for the context

There is literally no proofs whatsoever of her being an active member of Scientology past 2012. Only this one guy’s word.

What a great idea, speak out publically against a cult she was born into who are well-known for harassing anyone who speaks out against them publically

So you mean, thematically focused on the fediverse? Or able to listen to over the fediverse?

Lots of “laypeople” arent aware of this because they read news stories about “mass panics leading to deaths”. Instead of “poor planning and crowd management leading to deaths”.

Closed for registrations = no instance user accounts

Given how other impactful contributors to the ActivityPub spec have been presenting their work in public vs how Evan does it, one can certainly get the impression that he is a bit self centered, yeah.

This Bix guy seems a bit butthurt.

Like, I am sure there are dozens of definitions for what “social web” is and when it began. And that sentence about Evan surely is sus, but is one sentence on one foundations website. I’m still thinking that this foundation will be pretty irrelevant.

I understand your sentiment, but you do realize that in the end someone has to pay to keep that space running, right?

I mean, whether this cartoon makes sense heavily depends on where you’re at. In parts of Europe people choose to sleep on the streets even though they would get free sleeping places in social projects. (And they have their own reasons for that, and it’s fine. But still: they have that option here, it’s not like they are forced to sleep on the street).

Well exposure to different accents can make you understand these kind of things.
