Perhaps interesting to pass along. The other day I bumped into #TPS, the Trust Spanning Protocol, which is implemented by #Robrix matrix client on top of #MLS.

@hongminhee

Also have a look at this issue tracking #ActivityPub C2S implementations.

No sure. I am using the regular Mastodon web UI in firefox, btw.

A #fediverse is 🌱 grown with love and tender. Read @laura uplifting article on how we nourish and foster the delightful #SocialWeb together..

@GroupNebula563

The idea for a fediverse alternative to Vine might be posted to the fediverse-ideas repository, in a new issue.

Though they ripe slowly these ideas sit in the fediverse org where Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEP's) are too, and have inspired some good improvements to become best-practices before.

Suppose run-amok #capitalism is a car model. Then what is its engine that keeps it going on its destructive rampage? And what fuel does it run on?

Is it the #internet revved up to full overload? Is it high octane #data, that keeps the pistons running like crazy?

According to a Harvard study, FOSS contributes ~9 trillion to hypercapitalist #economy.

What then is #FOSS in this analogy? Free turbochargers?

@tyil perhaps. On the reasoning that copyleft provides sufficient protection. Everything before the code exists is there for grabs. The R&D, the insights, the experimental research. It is a low-fruit garden of Eden. No need for companies to do any of that. Just do the product dev. Add AI in the mix and everything is gobbled up regardless of license. I am a long-time fan and promotor of FOSS. FOSS the software, but also FOSS the struggling beautiful people, who continue to walk away with nothing.

More like an extension based off of the specs that is less likely to only lead to protocol decay and whack-a-mole development. On the basis that the current specs are too flexible. #ActivityPub is de facto a protocol framework. An extension can be the protocol with more rigor, and help ease solution development on top of that with yet more composable extensions.

W3C specs give us conceptually 'addressible actors that exchange activities with object payload'. That's powerful.

#ActivityPub specs are basis for spec compliance.

Current fediverse is a mixture of flavors. Mastodon is a flavor. The #FEP is a recipe cookbook for particularly flavored meals.

The fedi as it is today will never offer a home to anything that does not in some way represent a timeline with flowing texts, even if masquerading in more creative UI's. Every specialist (not really, just different-than-microblogging) domain auto-excludes itself to live in the fringes of fedi. Just by being different.

The fediverse is a new type of social network that is built by people themself, by adding their own servers and applications, so that the network organically grows. Millions of people from across the globe are thus able to find each other on the basis of shared passions and interests, and navigate a rich tapestry of inclusive communities to discuss and collaborate, and to express their freedom and creativity.

Check out the new @bonfire Social release candidate. What a wonderful well-designed experience, and superb release notes!

https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bonfire-social-1-0rc3/

🎉 Congratulations to the #Bonfire team @ivan and @mayel for making it this far, through all that tireless hard work. And also to @nlnet and @ngi for supporting this important project. Future of social networking in the making.

To #ActivityPub developers, have a look at those great #fediverse #Interoperability docs:

Hurray! 🥳

The last days of #SocialMedia have come. Sped up by an unexpected but uplifting side-effect of the #AI madness perhaps?

🌱 Here comes #PersonalSocialNetworking. According to James O’Sullivan..

> The successor to mass social media is, as already noted, emerging not as a single platform, but as a scattering of alleyways, salons, encrypted lounges and federated town squares — those little gardens.

The archipelago fedi! 😃

Apparently overheated technosphere discussions on theme 'AP vs AT protocol wars' that I have luckily entirely missed.

Let's focus on the social, in the sociosphere. What is the social web we want?

MAGA supporters who fail to see the ongoing assault on US democracy, the ongoing coup, are either ignorant, willfully blind, or active collaborators to the rise of a fascist regime. The GOP is far gone down this path of extremism already, while leadership of the Democrats by their passivity, silence, and complete lack of strategy and plans to give opposition, makes them complicit too. And then there's the Media. It is abhorrent how they fail to do their democratic duties in informing the public.

OMG! Think gov will quickly saw a big hole in that wall to 'safeguard this one for in the museum'. 🥲

We live in a #technosphere and are being force-fed #DigitalTransformation. See how it destroys the fabric of our #society.

#DelightfulCommons curated lists are inspired by #awesome lists on #Github and I realized they still represent a sterile lab with glaring TL lights and metal glinting everywhere.

In a quest to bring more of the missing #social connecting layers to bridge the gap between tech vs. #people and #humanity, I decided to give things a friendlier makeover.

@bmacDonald94 and what a powerful image this is. I absolutely adore this work! 😍
