Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But here's my number!

  • Just like YouTube

  • Odysee is not federated. Its decentralisation is based on LBRY blockchain.

  • 2 months later: challenge failed by users

  • MBin has always used C4 for its governance.

  • Too big and centralisation concerns

  • .

  • More, as you have access to Mastodon/Misskey/Akkoma/etc. users too

  • Yes, it was /kbin. I liked it there.

  • Without his twattiness there would be no Mbin. And a legacy of /kbin would likely be as forgotten as e.g. Prismo...

    The fork happened when Ernest was already struggling with his commitments in firefighting on emerging kbin.social technical issues, developing things which would prevent these issues to happen again, refactoring the code, likely work and life and - as a nail to the coffin - some health problems. Forking out of project leader during his troubles couldn't not look like a some kind of backstab. However, Ernest, in a typically Polish way, has never trusted anybody else enough to enable one to develop /kbin further. This circumstances of the forking are the crux of this drama.

    Melroy technically initiated the forking of Mbin, but the project itself embraces C4 and has got no (benevolent or not) dictators. Neither of largest Mbin instances are operated by maintainters of Mbin.

    I liked /kbin more than Mbin, but the former eventually collapsed. You still will be able to follow people from e.g. Mastodon or Misskey and sort their posts like on Lemmy. Or subscribe/follow to any Ghost/WriteFreely/any federated WordPress blog and benefit from probably the best interface to read long forms on federation.

  • They also provide a space for blogs, based on WordPress with federation

  • (...) the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards.

    Would it be a success or a fall?

  • All piefed.social posts should have infinite retention. They do not ATM. piefed.social-originated content of Lemmy comms is getting trashed as well :/

  • Indeed, I posted that from .zip, just in case.

  • Some PieFed stuff, like this, that or that has been already deleted from PieFed. Discussion and links survive on a comm instance but images don't (Lemmy does not cache images).

    Filed a bug about it.

  • (...) and suggested the community’s hostility toward AI was symptomatic of a broader tendency to drive people away. The comparison he drew to the loss of Black Twitter in 2022 was badly misjudged, and the furious response was largely justified. Hannah Aubry, Mastodon’s community director, publicly distanced the organisation from his views. The thread blew up, accumulating hundreds of comments in a single weekend, most of them hostile, and the pattern of the community’s response is worth looking at closely.

    The comparison may be misjudged, but his post did actually trigger the same dynamic, which facilitated/s racism on Mastodon (driving Black Twitter away) too. Toutes proportions gardées of course, as anti-AI scolding is much more bearable than blatant racism and harrasment. And genAI boosters don't deserve a honour to be treated as another marginalised minority.

    Mastodon-and-adjacement (maybe let's call it the Feediverse, analogically to the Threadiverse) consist (like Threadi) of lots of different instances, but remains experienced mainly as one place. Maybe Mastodon has eased an onboarding too much and people want it to be moderated like a single app. Or, rather microblogging always will be experienced as the simple place? Definitely Black users have experienced racism mainly on place level. And instance -level tools and instance moderation mainly failed to handle it. The main problem, though, is:

    One cannot be both a fediverse and a place.

    Every initiative to make a place-making tool (but Fediseer, which has been created for Threadi and remains peripherial for Masto) has already received an opposition from communities. Every such an attempt will unwittingly head for takeover of the place by Elon-but-good-one-this-time, and defeat one of the purposes of the federation: independence of the central (not always a just) authority.

    So, what to do for Black Twitter to return to the fedi?Nothing, as now it's too late. They have already made a home on ATmosphere and created first and main alternative ATProto instance: Blacksky. Nothing ActivityPub-based will be a better experience for them in foreseeable time.
