Haha exactly!
Would love to hear about it when it’s out!
That sounds really interesting! We’re building an OIDC server for indies with Weird – please feel free to come by and chat with us: https://blog.muni.town/muni-town/
I’m aware of this library for it: https://github.com/kensanata/mastodon-archive
Dunno about any easy button-click service for it though, which is why we’re building it into Weird, which is like a CMS for your digital identity.
Exactly!
It’s not about Totalizing Enforcement. What it changes is the cultural norm. Not right away but over time.
An age limit on alcohol never stopped anyone of any age to acquire alcohol, but it sets the societal bar for what’s acceptable. You don’t wanna be the parents that gave your kids alcoholic beverages at 13.
It’s always a little jarring how everyone very readily believes that the Scandinavian countries are the happiest in the world, but won’t believe that the incremental policy changes we implement here have any effect 🤷♂️
Haven’t seen the movie yet (guess I’ll have to now), but I imagine it’s a good pairing with this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7193362/
His point is there is no one protocol for the social web. The (open) social web is built on a pluriverse of protocols, like rss, email, irc, matrix, activitypub, atproto…
One thing that seems to go unappreciated in the comments is the simplicity of this interop proposal: It is essentially about enabling quote-posting of link-aggregator(Groups) posts.
Bluesky + Frontpage will work this way, and I believe it’ll work exceedingly well. If the ap-net corner of the fediverse isn’t interested in this kind of interop, fair enough. To me however the promise of seamless interop between my social apps was what brought me to the fediverse, so that’s the version of the fediverse I will pursue.
Yeah I get that. What ‘works’ means in the context of local-first is flexible though. This might provide a useful framing: https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/offline-is-online-with-extreme-latency/
In any case, you’re definitely right to focus on your specific use case first without trying to fit it into any specific paradigm. I’m excited to follow Habitat’s progress!
This sounds great!
Are you familiar with the local-first tenets? Seems like a natural fit for the local nature of your app:
Maybe it’s doable with the new plug-ins system? I’ve asked in the issue.
Thank you!
Big Social Media shares many characteristics of a drug, with similar anti-social consequences by overuse. But as with drugs, social media is just a symptom of the underlying problem.
It will still have made the rounds, since it trended on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39667026
I suggested the official adoption of Photon a year ago. Xylight was tentatively on board with it.
Even more important though is this change which would allow an alternative frontend to be used as a default, instead of having to be relegated to a sub-domain.
