I've never really cared about Flipboard and thought they were just another blog site, but I'm starting to realize they do actually enjoy the fedi and internet freedom
I am going to reply to my other one, I don't want to do a switch and bait in case you don't like what I'm going to say:
ActivityPub is planning on having advertising, this isn't going to be an advertising free space. Towards the end, he talks about it. IMO, they think of the fediverse as like a small town with billboards, retail storefronts, houses, family gatherings, places to date (he mentioned he wanted dating sites to pop up), etc. That you can have one address for all of it and you control the reach. It sounds like, correct me if I'm wrong, it will depend on what instance you're on, but advertising can and will pop up. I'm not sure how any of that will work in the future, but I did want to mention it to prepare some people. It might be more quiet than pop-ups? I'm not sure.
I was never really into Flipboard but after watching their launch ad from 2010 I'm realizing that their business has always been about trying to jam fediverse functionality into web2. No surprise they're so all in
I see. I don’t know much about authorized fetch, I’ll have to investigate a bit (I’m able to follow the linked account from mastodon however).
I was able to find [email protected] on this instance for example, a wild guess was that maybe lemmy expects peertube « communities » to have the « channel » string in the name but it’s unlikely 😂
I will never use any instance that federates with instances that federate with instances not run by someone as a hobby. Imagine what could happen if they threaten us to defederate!
