  • Federation Upstream Error of my Lemmy Instance

  • Thanks. It was due to me using a wrong port. Its working now.

    Sorry for the inconvinience

  • Thanks. So nice to hear some feedback <3

    You are right about the story. I crafted the whole thing a bit more hasty than the last ones. It should be longer and have an actual story and maybe some new characters. I also need to improve my writing. I tried a more playful style for this one, because its adventerous and so on, but its too inconsistent.

    I'm thinking about extending and re-writing it, but am not sure if I will find the time. Thanks anyways :)

  • Ok, I see. To be honest, I didn't put as much thought in this than in the last stories. Maybe it would have worked if it was longer ... I will think about it! Thanks anyway for the feedback.

    And it isn’t very Solarpunkish 😉

    the use of “open web” etc makes it too up front as well

    That's true. But otherwise, I don't think the idea would have come across

    Well yes, but Solarpunk also supported dezentrality 😇

  • Its meant in the sense: better build communities in the fediverse rather than on Mars. Its a pun on "Colonize Mars"

  • Castle in the Sky - After the Fall (Fanfiction, with references to Elon Musk's Twitter Reign and dezentralized solution)

    Jump

  • Yeah its kind of amazing :) (Although I think the story also is kind of universal)

    PS: The similarity was noted before, check this out: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/this-crazy-japanese-film-just-blew-away-twitters-tweet-record/

    "Twitter revealed a new tweet-per-second record on Friday and it seems the 143,199 tweets-per-second milestone was triggered by the airing of a Japanese animated film. [...] In the film, the protagonists send the city's airborne fortress tumbling out of the sky with the magic word, "balus" which roughly translates to "destruction." [...] So strong is the pull of "Laputa" -- even apart from the Ghibli Rule--that during the last airing on Dec. 9, 2011, Twitter logged a then-record-breaking 25,088 tweets per second of fans posting "balus'' at the same time it was spoken during the movie--despite a public plea from the social-networking site to hold off."

    I think Twitter always in a way tried to be the castle in the sky. Also, I think people just found it fun to mess with it.

  • Ok, that's a little let-down. Although I don't think its that he is completely against tech, maybe his views changed over time since many of his movies feature technical advantages and not always in a bad way, for example the moving castle ...

  • That would still have been an interesting way to explore these questions. Royalty does not exist in a vacuum, it is a product of many principles that Sheeta and Pazy would not be fan of (not even Muska I bet).

    That's true. Could certainly be interesting, I mean, they build the whole thing and probably spend a few generations there.

    But thing is, Miyazaki is very anti-tech. He did not want Laputa to be a dream followed by solarpunk, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale about the fall of technological societies. It prefered to focus on the destructive powers rather than on the post-labor utopias that the Laputa robots could have brought.

    I would call his relationship with tech ambivalent, because the tech of Laputa is primarily positive and exists in harmony with nature. It just falls into the wrong hands.

  • Interesting. Although I think at some point there will always be a Muska. Exclusivity and aristocracy doesn't usually led to good things ...

  • I used to hunt mushrooms with my grandparents as a kid. Got some good memories there. I'm also watched one or the other fungi docu on Netflix. Fascinating stuff.

    I can dig up some good podcasts. If you search your favorite podcast service for queer mycology you can learn some interesting things about fungi in a couple of hours :)

    Ha ha. It's such a niche topic but I'm increasingly fascinated by it. Will definitely check out such a podcast :)

  • I would suggest a series of short stories if you like the setting and are enjoying writing it.

    I was thinking about that too. Could be cool to experiment with different characters, factions, etc.

    I think something more relatable might get the solar punk message across. I only dipped into the short story you posted and it felt more fantasy than near future sci-fi.

    Its just that with the mention of actual federated social media, many people seem to immediatly recoil. And then if you introduce some metaphor for the Fediverse like the Fungiverse, then you also have to incorporate it in a world that really embraces the concept.

    And tbh, I opened it more because I’m a mushroom and sci-fi/fantasy nerd and saw your post in the sci-fi sub.

    Ah, I see. Maybe I do need to edit the story again so it fits more the primary genre ... let's see. Thanks for the feedback ;)

  • I’ll be honest, I only made it halfway into the first paragraph. Such as they are, the thin paragraphs coupled with multiple-screens-no-formatting length makes it impossible to follow the text

    That's unfortunate. I will try to fix it. The WriteFreely-Server I used keeps crashing so I switched to Wordpress ...

    plus at least from the first paragraph it reads like generated AI nonsense.

    I wrote it myself :D But its fine. I hoped it would be fun to read.

    Is that the point, though? As in, is this my wooooosh-moment? Is this supposed to say that the Fediverse is too difficult to consume and makes no sense at first?

    No, it shouldn't :( It should just be fantasy/magic realism

  • Which alternate term for the Fediverse do you like best: Wood Wide Web, Fungal/Fungi Web or Fungiverse?

    Jump
    1. Every social network is it's own universe. So basically if you speak about the multiverse of social networks universe sounds pretty sealed.
    2. Fair enough, I'm just not sure it's THE defining feature of the social web that I have in mind. For me it's more the dezentral aspect and that's for me best represented with fungi
  • Fediverse @lemmy.world

    The term "Fediverse" concerns itself mainly with social networks and doesn't include sites like Wordpress to support ActivityPub. My proposal for a new term: the fungal web
