@aral@jwildeboer ATproto exists specifically because the existing open protocols were design against chokepoint capitalism. It's literally designed around the existence of a chokepoint (multiple ones, in fact, when you add PLC DIDs)
Part of the issue is that the data model and frontend are too tightly coupled. “Microblogging” or “video publishing” or “photo publishing” should be entirely a front-end issue. The data itself *could* in principle be shared between all of them.
@Eris@mekkaokereke so one way this could be implemented is that in addition to my “private” lists that I use to manage my follows, I could have public lists, and anyone browsing my profile could see them and one-click add its members to their follows, or block them (for a block list)? (This doesn't solve the problem of users having to find *me* in the first place, but it would help past that point.)
I guess changes to these lists could come through federation similar to follow requests.
@mekkaokereke@Eris thank you for the clarification. I have not joined BS (and have no intention of doing it), so if you could waste some time to fix my ignorance on the matter: how do they get the recommendation after they join? Do they have to actively search for it or is there some UX where they can ask something like “are the comic artists in here” and they get presented with starter lists others have compiled?
@Eris@mekkaokereke oh yes the ideas are nice, but the problem is, nice ideas have the tendency of not scaling that nicely when decentralization is involved. Consider for example the starter lists idea: where does the server fetch them from to present them to the user? Who manages addition and removal of entries from the list? How do changes to it propagate? We already have something like that for the “reference blocklist”, and even that essentially relies on a centralized service (Oliphant) 1/2
Hello all, is there anybody here that uses #Friendica and can tell me what level of stylistic customization is possible for each account in relation to their wall, if any at all?
EDIT: to get an idea of what I'm talking about it, the “reference” is the degree of customizability that Tumblr affords for each individual blog.
@julesh@sophiehuiberts is there a CH equivalent of «The axiom of choice is obviously true, the well-ordering principle obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn's lemma?» ?
