You say that but it’s a one year old play form and protocol, of course it is just Bluesky. The Fediverse existed long before Mastodon and Mastodon is 8 years old, so I don’t get your point. That still doesn’t touch upon the negative to tethering users identity to instances. Many of them have tried Mastodon and it was a poor experience for them. So, it’s not an option. The Fediverse isn’t for everyone and that is absolutely okay. People are hoping to leave and not use Twitter/X, they have good alternatives that suits their needs and that should be celebrated.

It is being speculated that they’re trying to give up Surtain and a farm to move up to get a QB

I get it, Sports Twitter is resilient and still is where the good stuff is. I mostly read and listen to The Athletic. The Threads sports community is solid, sports & tech are the reasons I made a Threads account. NFL Threads is typically lively

Same, The Athletic is my primary source of info. I listen to Move The Sticks podcast as well.

Yes, they opened federation a couple months ago and people are running their own PDS. It’s different from Twitter as people can own their identity, it’s only been out a little over a year, give it time dude. Mastodon is 8 years old. Blue sky has custom feeds over 40k of them made by various people, mute lists and block lists that are shareable and abled to be subscribed to, use identities are not tethered to instances, more controls of what they see and don’t see. You have a bunch of liberals and marginalised communities on there enjoying themselves. Why would go to Twitter?

Send them to jail and then I hope hell

They stopped calling it CP. As Porn is typically consensual and is typically what people think of when they think of Porn, they’re not thinking it’s two legal persons where one has not consented. Thus to avoid any confusion or possibility of downplaying its severity they changed the term from CP.

What makes you say that Kbin and Mbin have died out?

I think so too!

Haha no scam

Hahaha no worries. Toilet is one of the best places to read. For sure would love to know your thoughts once you get the chance ☺️ I don’t get those that wanted a 1:1 remake. Some things are dated and a fresh approach is nice.

Who said one instance? It’s a pod store by a pod provider, which there will be multiple pod providers. Please go research Solid. Even in the scenario of multiple accounts in multiple instances you don’t own nor control your data. With Solid you get to determine what access and how much access a provider & service has

Okay, that’s fair. I will point that out to the developer as English is not their primary language. But, you can read the very next paragraph in how does ActivityPods solve this to understand the context.

Maybe I needed to chill but I get sick of people just making statements without rereading, asking to understand, using proper context. It’s annoying.

It is Foss. Where is it mentioning monopolising the Fediverse? Having instances is a form of centralisation. People should not have to self host to not be tethered to an instance. Like how does what you said even make sense compared to the realities of right now?

How is a user owning their data icky?

Please do not come up here with your trumpian false news. Is that what was said? Show explicitly where that is stated You can’t just have one across to have full functionality across the Fediverse and if you insinuate that YOU are a deceiver and people should steer clear of you.

Your response on ActivityPods and Solid – pretty spot on! I will toss in a couple more nuggets. Solid’s kinda like having your own Google Drive, but you call the shots on who peeks into your stuff. It’s all about files and folders. Sure, Solid uses RDF for the geeky metadata part, but at its heart, it’s all about files. With ActivityPods, Instead of just playing with files, it uses something called an RDF Triple Store. Think of it as a smart way to store data that’s all about connections and relationships. This means ActivityPods is more about mapping out how data is connected, like a big web of info, rather than just storing files. Super handy for social apps where who knows who, and who does what matters a lot. Like Solid, ActivityPods is big on you owning your data. But it’s not just sitting in a digital drawer. It’s active, social, and part of a bigger community. The author of ActivityPods has a very similar view of the social web compared to Evan P.

Finally started playing FFVII Crisis Core Reunion
