Our podcast about the fediverse, Dot Social, is one today! 🎉 It’s been such an honor to host the builders of the social web on this show and to learn from them. We have one more episode coming up in 2024 (read the blogpost to find out who @mike will be chatting with) then rest, then back at it in 2025.

@eosfpodcast @futurebird @danilo Exactly.

And if Bluesky really is what it claims to be, they will roll out full, universal, bidirectional support for #federation in a few months. In which case, I would have no NEED to join Bluesky, at all. If not, they were misleading their customers and weren't even the most basic level of trustworthy to begin with.

As for the user interface preferences some have for Bluesky, well... there is no one UI for Mastodon. I use elk.zone.
Looks like Twitter to me!

Wow, I did not expect to see such a negative response to the potential for Bluesky federation in Pixelfed.

If it does ever happen, it will be opt-in, and we will be adding safety features to block bridges and other undesirable activities to empower admins to have total control!

We love hearing your lightbulb moments when it comes to the #fediverse! In our new short video series, we want the unconverted* to see its tremendous power through your stories. (*Which is why we’re posting these clips to “walled gardens” like TikTok.)

People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.

@zvavybir
You raise an important issue with the #decentral / #federation idea of the #fediverse.

The concentration of power might become an increasing issue looking into the future. If, e.g., #Mastodon gGmbH decided to threaten blocking #instances unless they remove certain users, content...

Thinking about switching there are concerns of losing: SEO-wise, reach, contacts/followers, character & poll limit (😜)...

PS
#Misskey seems to have a "fairer" signup process

I've decided to delay federation support in @loops for the first week or so.

It's not a matter of implementation completion (it's ready, pic related), rather, I'm not sure how much resources I'll need to allocate to loops.video during the initial beta.

The priority is onboarding and supporting the essential features, some of you will get access earlier.

It's going to get wild, but in a good way 🚀

Where is a path from the posters on the left to the viewers on the right that does not go through BS's infrastructure?

Even with a "custom App View" as they described (which, interestingly, they did not publish a reference implementation AFAIK)

The only thing "federated" here is user data itself... Federated user data does not equal to a federated social media.

Every communication has to go through and filtered by an App view (hosted by BS or not). It is the App view's job to keep track of and figure out who follows/blocks who and "multicast" the message in a user->user manner (they openly admit it in page 5), how is this federated?

Essentially, I feel this is not "Usable Decentralized Social Media" but a "Centralized Social Media that feels Twitter but Decentralizes Data"

CC: @lhc_fl@stelpolva.moe she pointed out some issues with identity federation in BS as well.

Forward-thinking journalists are not letting the “media apocalypse” happen to them. Instead, they’re doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler and @ProPublica's @ben join fediverse futurist @mike for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism.
