   @mpldr @pluralistic The exact same features that keep people away and are driving the mass migration to BlueSky instead of here. This platform has too many restrictions, which makes it more difficult to have meaningful interactions.

   For example:

   1. The purely sequential timeline means you miss a lot of relevant posts, and it's much harder to keep track of the important conversations.

   2. The lack of quotes means you can't link or make references to what others say.

   This platform added federation, but unnecessarily removed a lot a features that existed on twitter, instead of improving on them.

   Instead of fearing "the algorithm", mastodon should have given the option for users and instances to control the algorithm of their own feed.

   Bluesky added the option to "detach" a quote from a post if it turns out it's getting unwanted attention. A simpler, more elegant solution to the (frankly, exaggerated) potential abuse problem, than simply not having quotes at all.

   In short, there's less friction there, and here it feels like a pain.

   "I’d actually welcome an even-handed approach from Sulzberger because under his leadership the coverage in the New York Times has not been evenly balanced at all.

   In the early months of 2024, and certainly after his disastrous debate performance in late June, the New York Times was on nothing less than a crusade to highlight the 'age issue' presented by the 81-year-old president’s candidacy,"

   On the contrary.

   The walled gardens have not gone away with the fediverse. At all.

   In fact there are more walled gardens than ever before. Every #Mastodon instance is its OWN walled garden, in terms of discoverability. Search is cordoned off: you can’t find anything for the most part except whatever might have been posted to your own walled garden and only if recent.

   Talk of “freedom” is lovely but the reality is Mastodon is like a spy agency with severely compartmentalized info.

   @mikedev I can spot several differences between this document and the latest revision of FEP-ef61:

   - FEP-ef61 now uses gateways property, not gateway. I changed the property name because its value is an ordered list (and we already have replies and orderedItems, so a plural doesn't feel inappropriate).
   - Canonical object ID has no path component. FEP-ef61 says that path is REQUIRED (according to RFC 3986, the path can be "empty", so I should probably change it to "path MUST NOT be empty").
   - The value of proof.verificationMethod is a "compatible" ID, but according to FEP-ef61, "The value of verificationMethod property of the proof MUST match the authority component of the ap:// URL". In other words, it must be a DID.

   Of course, all of that is up to discussion, and the spec can be changed if necessary.

   >The sticky spots I see right now are abstracting a more portable url for profile-photo, cover-photo

   We can use content-addressing. See Discussion / Media section.

   >and ed25519 publickey

   I assume you're referring to the need for it to be a server-owned key? Per FEP-521a we can add multiple keys to assertionMethod array. Each nomadic clone can use its own key for signing HTTP requests, only the identity key (the "authority" part of 'ap' URL) must be shared.

   >You should be able to import the resulting record into any FEP-ef61 compliant server running on any fediverse platform and have one identity to rule them all.

   In my implementation exported objects and the ones sent via S2S protocol will probably look the same, because in the future I will perform proof generation on the client side. This means the server will not be able to change published objects, its role will be merely of an indexer.

   I think a lot of this "criticizing Biden is helping Trump/Putin" stems from a way of thinking that places all of the responsibility and blame for how things go politically on the people with no power at all.

   In this way of thinking Biden isn't responsible or accountable to us at all, but WE are responsible for supporting him.

   This is twisted.

   TZAG all.

   In case you are doomscrolling:

   An Italian court has rejected charges that Mediterranean refugee rescue NGOs were encouraging "illegal migration".

   Automobile factory workers in Tennessee have voted overwhelmingly to create a union.

   And I am out to weed and prune, now that the early morning shift of rock doves, stock doves, sparrows, rooks, jackdaws, starlings, blackbirds, magpies, dunnocks, robins, and who knows who else have been fed on too-old leftovers, peanuts, and seeds.
