@evan congrats! Just a curiosity, is there a comparison with other protocols trying to create an interoperable web? I'm trying to understand why AT Protocol was created. I still need to read some references some people shared here.

Just a quick comparison between @Vivaldi and @mozilla Mastodon profiles.

Vivaldi vs Mozilla
- 3000+ vs 87 posts
- 21 vs 14 months old
- ~ 21 thousand vs ~ 29 thousand followers

The last revenue of Mozilla that I found is of the order of USD 400+ million, while Vivaldi Technologies seems to have 10 to 100 times less on revenue. And Vivaldi browser has direct integration with Mastodon.

Quite intriguing.

Mozilla's instance was never a project. I think we can't even call it an experiment. At most a joke.

#Mozilla #Vivaldi #Mastodon

@mozilla I'm so glad I've never received an invite to Mozilla's instance and instead chose @Vivaldi, when I gave up running my own Mastodon server.

Since I have to use at work some apps that work better with Chrome based browsers, it was also near the moment I switched my main browser from Firefox to Vivaldi.

It surprises me how a small company can maintain a Mastodon server, while Mozilla Foundation cannot.

Se os caras do @MastodonEngineering não tem gente o suficiente pra responder requisições como entrar na lista de servidores do site oficial deles, não vale a pena criar uma página estática bem simples listando os servidores brasileiros? Ou alguém fez isso?

Confesso que não sou tão entusiasmado com o software do Mastodon em si, pra mim o objetivo final deve ser redes sociais interoperaveis independentemente da escolha da pessoa, mas seria uma boa, pra quem está mantendo servidores e tentando atrair gente pro Fediverso a partir do mastodon.

@Ursalzona @cadusilva @pbaesse @joaonaweb como é feito o contato? Apenas por e-mail ou existe algum local público, tipo ticket do Github?

Por que diabos ainda não há servidores brasileiros no https://joinmastodon.org/servers? Há dois anos, quando o Twitter foi comprado pelo seu atual proprietário, achei muito estranho, principalmente depois de ver tantos servidores Mastodon administrados por comunidades brasileiras. E mesmo agora que tivemos o X bloqueado?

Já existe essa fase confusa de escolher um servidor, mas por que os brasileiros são excluídos? Falta de perspectiva além do norte global? Falta de articulação para ter instâncias brasileiras nessa porra de lista?

Estamos literalmente dando um tiro no próprio pé.

Is WordPress still the best alternative to blogging into the Fediverse, which also allows comments with activity pub compatible profiles?

I liked Writefreely, but there's no possibility of comments. And Ghost seems promising, but it's still in the development phase. I'd like just some clean interface, and that I can install on a little server.

Maybe folks in the #FediForum discussed other possibilities?

#wordpress #WriteFreely #Ghost #activitypub #fediverse #blogging

I remember when there was the first big wave coming from Twitter, around 2 years ago, there were some discussions about Flickr and Tumblr using the Activity Pub protocol. Did this idea die? If so, does anyone know why?

#Flickr #Tumblr #activitypub #fediverse

Why on earth are there still no Brazilian servers on https://joinmastodon.org/servers? Two years ago, when Twitter was bought by its current owner, I found it very strange, especially after seeing so many Mastodon servers run by Brazilian communities. And even now that we've had X blocked?

There's already this confusing stage of choosing a server, but why are Brazilians excluded? Lack of perspective beyond the global north? Lack of articulation to have Brazilian instances on this fucking list?

We're literally shooting ourselves in the foot.

Was there any talk or discussion at the #FediForum about the banning of #X in #Brazil, and the massive migration of Brazilians to #BlueSky?

I've heard more than once today the question why Brazilians went to Bluesky. I've heard some ideas like Bluesky resembles Orkut, an old social network platform of Google that was very poorly in Brazil 20 years ago. I think that's false.

I don't have a clear answer to this phenomenon, but it would be very interesting to listen to what other people think.

#fediverse #decentralization

@BeAware @askesis 14 years ago, the University of São Paulo tried to create its own social network platform, the Stoa project http://stoa.usp.br (it seems abandoned, they don't even have an SSL certificate).

Indeed, moderation was an issue. As an example, I had my blog and account deleted, because the rector ordered, and I was fired from the development team, due to a misunderstanding. I created a first April joke, that some people believed, and it even ended up in the news. 😂

Be the way, one of the goals of the project was to be federated and we aimed to connect to other educational and research institutes, using some protocol that allowed that.

Today I laugh, but there were some tough cases where some people were advocating violence, and our small team (4-5 developers) had to deal with it. I cannot image how it would be in case of a very active system in a university as big as University of São Paulo, that can have hundreds of thousands, if we allow the alumni to join? Or dozens of thousands, if not. You need a team dedicated to the moderation, which is not trivial.

I wonder why the hell someone decided to create a new protocol for another decentralized social network platform, instead of contributing to Activity Pub, that has been developed for years. Is there some technical reason or it was just the trend to reinvent the wheel, which is common to startups and founders?

A profile from bsky (Bluesky), @telescopio.org, just started following me, and this reminded me that a few months ago I created a bridge to test if someone from bsky could see my posts in Mastodon. It worked somehow https://bsky.app/profile/everton137.social.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy

I was lazy and didn't analyse how it works, but it seems not all posts appear in this bridge profile. I just checked in the previous link, and I cannot see several posts. It seems like just some malfunctioning workaround.

@ericof do these smart people have some publicly available analysis or was it just coffee talk?

I would love to read some technical arguments. (Thanks for reminding me of the other protocol name)

É impressionante que ainda não ativaram a federação da conta do Lula no Threads pra podermos seguir seus posts daqui.

Vou participar do #MusiQuinta compartilhado a Bachiana Brasileira No. 4, de Villa Lobos, uma das que mais gosto junto com a No. 5. O trenzinho do caipira, último movimento da Bachiana No. 2 também é fenomenal.

Villa mistura componentes do folclore brasileiro e da música de Bach. Após 7 anos de Alemanha, essa é minha escolha essa semana. Mais detalhes na página da Wikipédia sobre as nove Bachianas.

@tchambers @augustocc @fediforum one interesting thing to discuss could the resistance of Brazilian journalists and activists to join the fediverse, even now the X blew up for them. Here's just one example

Legalidade não é armazém de secos e molhados, por Conrado Hübner

.http://12ft.io/https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/colunas/conrado-hubner-mendes/2024/09/legalidade-nao-e-armazem-de-secos-e-molhados.shtml

Muito bom.

"Mas, além da dimensão empresarial, moral e jurídica, poucos observam um terceiro aspecto: plataformas digitais não são praça pública, onde todos podem falar e ser ouvidos. O dono das redes controla o que pode ser dito, cria câmaras de eco artificiais e decide quem e o que é silenciado e escutado. Um debate sobre algoritmo e transparência. Nessa engrenagem opaca, liberdade de expressão é uma quimera.

Pode-se criticar Alexandre de Moraes pela extravagância imprevisível de suas medidas. Não se pode tolerar Elon Musk. É possível aperfeiçoar o modelo de atuação do STF. Não é possível fazer vista grossa para a delinquência política e o gangsterismo. Nem confundi-los com liberdade."

Que contraste, o mais popular programa jornalístico de TV no Brasil, o Jornal Nacional, divulgou ontem seu perfil no Bluesky. Enquanto isso, o análogo na Alemanha, o Tagesschau, tem seu próprio servidor de Mastodon faz mais de um ano.

@BeAware @wikimediafoundation the more voices in the open knowledge world, the better. The Wikimedia movement has great projects read by millions each year, so I think they have an important role here and it is very aligned with their values. In a decentralized world, we don't need one single leadership.

I'm glad there are great organizations like W3C working on that. The more, the merrier.

Couldn't @wikimediafoundation take the lead when it comes to social media decentralization?
