Hi @rolle @nileane @TangerineUI @elk @cheeaun @fediforum, glad to meet you all, thanks @tchambers!
With FediForum, we are trying to bring the Fediverse community together for a few days of live discussions of whatever needs discussing to move the Fediverse forward. Next week is the 4th time we are running it. We have a diverse audience, from plain users-for-personal-purposes to developers, operators, journalists, various organizations, moderators etc. (cont'd)
Other than our speed demo track, we use an unconference format optimized for online interactions, which means that attendees determine what sessions happen, and the format of those sessions, which run from presentations with Q&A to collaborative problem solving, plan making and open discussion. For how this looks like in practice, look at the notes from a previous FediForum, e.g. https://fediforum.org/2024-03/
@rolle @nileane @TangerineUI @elk @cheeaun @fediforum @tchambers
The topics that @tchambers suggested would fit right in, and it would be largely up to you how you'd like to structure the session. E.g. it might be interesting to compare / demo / discuss the different approaches to building alternate Mastodon UI side-by-side. Or ... up to you!
Watching the much-welcomed Waveform podcast about the #fediverse ...
Here's what he says Federating Social Media promises you:
1. the same connections you'd already got
2. the same core ways to interact no matter what platform you are on
3. removes power from corporations who hold users hostage through their social graph
4. make those platforms compete for the quality of the platform.
This is certainly a different take than usual ...!!
@damon Your point is a different point than the one I try to make in a very short post.
Your point: use different software.
My point: choose an instance, not software.
@ShadSterling @damon I think we need to get to the point where each instance operator communicates directly with their prospective user where their prospective users are likely going to hang out. Say: libraries for instances focused on literature, or furry conferences for instances focused on furries. Avenues through something like joinmastodon.org (which are software-focused) should be secondary at best.
@ShadSterling @damon We need to get to identities that aren't tethered to particular instances. Various approaches have been discussed, all more or less valid IMHO, we just need to get them implemented.
Then, if you can log into @ShadSterling with myself@shadsterling.com or shadsterling@myidprovider.com, is your concern still valid?
We are making a big mistake in the #Fediverse when we ask people to sign up for Mastodon.
The end user product is not Mastodon. The end user product is a specific Mastodon instance.
We should ask them to sign up to a specific instance (preferably one that would match their values in the moderation they do, their funding model, their accountability ...)
After all, their relationship is with their server operator, not the open-source project. And lots of bad experiences would be avoided IMHO.
#ActivityPub was not designed for testability.
I think that is a true statement.
Technologist, founder, organizer.Let's put people back in control of their technology. The Fediverse is a good start. Also wondering aloud where we are taking this planet.Check out my home page for more info and links.tfr
