Many people (including myself) use Peertube! That specific instance may just not be too active with their admin. I can recommend tube.tchncs.de as a general instance with instant signup if you're still looking.
#Verso is a project to build a full "#FOSS forever" web browser based on #Rust and #Servo rather than #Chromium/#Gecko. Even the interface is rendered with Servo.
Currently there's 23 contributors and a non profit forming to oversee it. There are also nightly releases for testing (remember the "very early stage" bit though!).
I get that listening to the same song can be comforting, familiar and useful to certain nuerospicy people. How is the same thing on repeat free dopamine though? Isn't dopamine released by novelty and anticipation?
I understand you don't like Element, but have you tried... ElementX? Apparently they reworked the interface quite a bit to try and improve things over Element.
It's still somewhat experimental, but it sounds like they're getting closer and closer to recommending it over standard Element for new users.
The title of this implies a sort of breathless "How could misinformation POSSIBLY have gotten through silicon valley's impenetrable fortress of Truth algorithms?!?!" when anyone can see that Google's results are utterly flooded with garbage GenAI. Nor do they care, if it gets clicks. Why anyone is shocked that some of it comes from the biggest purveyor of misinfo is beyond me. I'm more shocked when any real content gets through.
Interesting. Many of the disagrees seem to be based on either the opinion that comments shouldn't be used at all, or on issues of the article poster not being able to moderate the comments.
This seems like a different discussion than around whether the Fediverse should be used for post comments.
It would be interesting to see the results of this poll reworded as such:
""Publishing platforms allowing comments should use a Fediverse instance for it that they/the author can moderate."
Love seeing the #ActivityPub support in there! I'm curious what this will look like? Are we talking auto posting a link to the contents of the email, or allowing activitypub based comments on the content, or posting the entire email content to activitypub, or...?
I love what you do and the idea of helping with discovery, but...
basing it on popularity rather than the users unique interests just recreates one of the big problems of traditional silo media, the two caste system.
First you have the "upper" caste accounts (aka "Mr Beast"s) who got popular early and then snowball as being popular means being more recommended means being more popular ad infinitum. Then the lower caste will never be recommended as they're not already popular.
The alternative is to match accounts recommended not by popularity, but to the interests of the new user. This way users with niche interests get recommended accounts that could be relatively small, but are posting about the topics they care about, more than just en(g/r)agement clickbait. These interests can be from hashtags they enter on joining, scanning links the user gives to their previous posts online (social accounts, blogs etc). This rewards interesting posts not popularity.
