So

If they won’t/don’t answer a direct question about an NDA the question has effectively been answered

@thanevim

I've indirectly followed this #Lemmy issue, or rather seen a lot posted about it

It's not the software side of it so much as the #Moderation (or lack, or style thereof) on specific Lemmy instances

Tankies, Neo-Euro-Nazis, homophobia, etc etc

Lax moderation generally

You may need to do some homework beyond just the technical #Federation side of it all

No: I do not have time to provide links for you

@mergesort

My point is that if the Bluesky firehose is little different (or really, even more full of rando posters) than the Mastodon Federated feed I can watch at any time, what compelling reason do I have to try and find "Yet Another Community"?

Little-to-none

And as to Twitter, yeah

Was on that since <2009, so yeah

@robertvh

Opens up #Firesky in a browser tab

Watches the #Bluesky firehose stream by for 60 seconds

Welp

Still seeing nothing that I'd want to pay more than a moment's attention to

What am I missing?

"Just read that a flagship non-Mastodon instance blocked at least one major server (the biggest UK #Mastodon instance)"

The background here is that this OP did not read (or chose to ignore) the defederating admin's post where he *clearly* said they had engaged in an extended convo with "the biggest UK #Mastodon instance" and had received no satisfactory answer or action

But why let accuracy stand in the way of going off endlessly from your own soapbox, eh?

Have you read this?

Very brief, but seemingly credible:

"This is also a very interesting discussion over on Bluesky. It seems that Bluesky is really just a proof-of-concept for the protocol, and it’s not Jack’s intention that the service stick around but that other services take its place"

@jeff @tchambers @activitypubblueskybridge

"...isn't the most that you risk is orphaning an early repository?"

But orphaning an early (Read: Bluesky) repository if Bluesky won't hand it over is the very crux of the whole "easy onboarding" "portable/nomad identity" which is supposed to be such big deal these days

And yeah

Respectfully suggested edit:

" I've been considering lately the contrast in approaches: Federate from the start, and confuse the hell out of most users, or Singleinstance for a while and risk not being able to escape a closed system that has sole control over its (and your) DID."

@atomicpoet @fediversenews

"This is why people from Mastodon need to understand that the Fediverse is bigger than Mastodon and much of what they see on Mastodon isn’t necessarily how it actually works"

Mastodon is not how Mastodon works?

I know Mastodon is not *the* Fediverse

"much of what they see on Mastodon isn’t necessarily how it actually works"

So I have to leave Mastodon to understand how a Friendica group really works?

Hard pass on that

@atomicpoet @fediversenews

This is the tab I've been camping on all morning

What am I not seeing?

Other than I've just refreshed it after about an hour?

And no, I'm not on Friendica in any sort of logged-in sense

And if I'm inferring you to say that the only way I can see this Group "correctly" is to be logged in to some Friendica instance, it only confirms my larger point: this Group is only of a very narrow, specialize interest

At best

@atomicpoet @fediversenews

One more thought

@fediversenews says it has 210 Followers ATM

I have bookmarks for about 15 [instance_name] /public/local/ servers

Most of those I have some affinity to (with?) and there's some reason for me to sit on their Local feed and read what's going on there

I typically have four open all day long

Fediverse News is like an instance Local feed where I have nothing in common with 90% of what's posted

Granted it's only a test

But some affinity is needed

@atomicpoet @fediversenews

Two thoughts

1) I might just edit you out of my replies when it's clear the OP isn't really replying you at all, but only to someone way down the resulting thread

2) I'm seeing Fediverse News as a headless reply bot

It doesn't seem to post original content

If all it's doing is endlessly Boosting anything with its handle in it, I'll pass on that

I've already turned on "Hide Boosts from @fediversenews" and things have quieted down quite a bit

Don't need the noise

@atomicpoet @fediversenews

Seems you've been pushing it pretty hard and heavy

Or am I missing something?

@fediversenews @atomicpoet

How did that make it through to initial publication in the first place?

There were at least two words that should have hit delimiters right at the moment of posting

Hell, I could probably manage to write a regex to do the heavy lifting

Are you doing any sort of initial filtration at all?

@scottjenson @dominick @tchambers

I almost don't want to enter into this, but fools rush in

"Forking shows what's possible but it's a very slow road back..."

and

"The 'just fork it' approach focuses on the easy and optional window dressing that is far less important"

You seem to be using "forking" in a very different way from what I've read over the years

"Forking" to me means the core source code - the Linux kernel, as one

You seem to be talking about UI eye candy

What am I missing?

@Fascinatorfun @feditips

And apparently the only way to add 2FA to Mastodon is to use Yet Another(tm) third-party “app”

So that third party - someone unknown to me otherwise- has my phone number *and* all the 2FA transactions I conduct using that app

Why not just send an SMS/text directly to my phone, like my banks and eleventy-dozen other places do

Why drop an app in there at all?
