  • Delusions of a Protocol

    Jump

  • This sucks. Hopefully this will push ppl to sign up to mastadon or to other atproto instances and move away from the main bluesky acct.

    For anybody looking for mastadon instance i recommend mas.to and for an atproto alternative, I've been on blacksky.community instance for a few weeks now and I rly enjoy it

  • What tools do you use to find content on the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing the links!

  • What do you think about the protocol behind Bluesky, ATproto, and how do you think it compares to ActivityPub?

    Jump

  • Okay, I didn't know ATproto had many parts that can be independent or dependent on each other. It would be nice if there was an easy way to check the level of independence of an instance

  • What do you think about the protocol behind Bluesky, ATproto, and how do you think it compares to ActivityPub?

    Jump

  • I don't use it much, but from what I understand ATproto used to super expensive to self host but now costs have fallen significantly and other instances outside of the main Bluesky instance have emerged. I think now the problem they have to solve is getting the users (who are something like 99 per cent on the main Bluesky instance) over to the other instances.

  • This is what solidarity looks like

    Jump

  • As I understand, its an ATproto instance separate from Bluesky. Racially self segregated is a weird phrase and a wrong assumption. You don't to black to join but is a focused on black cultures and communities

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

  • If they lock bootloaders, whats the best way to force it work even the vendors don't want it to?

  • fuck google!

    Who can I donate to that is working on making alternative OS accessible on android or iphones?

    I know there are alternative OS already out there but they aren't as universally accessible compared to how Linux can run on any PC.

  • localhosting: selfhosting to the min

    Jump

  • As a non technical person, I think any tool that would make local hosting easier for laypeople like myself is great! I hope everything works out for you and localhostinger becomes a thing. I particularly like the "The app store idea" version a lot!

  • [AFRICA] Who is your favourite African author?

    Jump

  • Should large Fediverse instances and Bluesky encourage, not require, users to opt-in to bridges that connect the Fediverse to Bluesky and other non-fedi social web platforms?

    Jump

  • This is a good point. I wonder why this isn't the default

  • Zohran Mamdani Links Up With Wu-Tang Clan in Viral Social Media Video

    Jump

  • Is Zohran back in NYC or is this recorded before he left for Uganda?

  • Ethiopian parliament passes bill banning single-use plastic bags

    Jump

  • I'm surprised that its only 30 microns. The current govt seemed very adamant about removing plastic shopping bags waste. Although in my experience the most common shopping bags in the Ethiopia are much thinner than other countries (I would guess that they are probably only 30 microns) it would just mean the plastic producers would just shift to creating thicker bags

  • Neil DeGrasse Tyson has a Phd in astrophysics and he has published a lot of papers. He is a scientist and a science communicator. Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye are not the same.

  • A list with 1051 verified accounts from media organizations in the Fediverse 👇🏼

    Jump

  • Thanks for the answer. This might be a dumb question but what does that mean exactly? Is Flipboard approaching the different media outlets and offering to share their content on Flipboard's instance? If so, what do the media outlets get out of using flipboard versus their own instance or a more generic instance like mastadon.social?

  • How come so many of them are on flipboard? I wonder why they don't run their own instances

  • If you can afford it, PeerTube is having a fundraiser for its mobile app

    Jump

  • I really like the app too and I like the improvements they are focusing:

    Goal #1: Free PeerTube "Premium" for the people €15,000

     
            Play videos in background
    Cast your videos to your TV
    Get notified of newly released content
    Change the video definition

    Goal #2: Share videos from your pocket €35,000

     
            Manage all channels of your account
    Edit video chapters, subtitles, info, etc.
    Get detailed stats of your content
    Upload new videos from your mobile

    Goal #3: Livestream from your mobile €55,000

     
            Set up & manage livestream
    Use device cameras & connection
    Stream live from your hand
    No more need for a secondary mobile app dedicated to live streams

    Plus on the fireside fedi interview, a rep from peertube said that they would make these improvements whether or not they hit the fundraising goals but the new funds would help

  • YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"

    Jump

  • This sucks but I think this will lead to a Youtube exodus and other platforms like Peertube will creator and user base will grow
