Mashable - What is the fediverse
All social media sites interconnected — heaven or hell for creators?
The lack of a sense of place by Hexbears by absolutely flooding this comment thread is the full and sole reason for me to fully support defederation. Lemm.ee is our server, our rules, made by people on the lemm.ee server. The fact that they feel the need to comment and respond on everything says enough about them.
And no, you're not being attacked so that you have the right to defend yourself. Federation is not a right.
Yeah that’s wrong, twitter posts don’t show up in Bluesky at all. Completely separate network
I think the idea is that the NSFW servers also federate with nonNSFW. So I guess it solves the problem of seeing posts about the news when you want to browse porn?
488k is the number of posts, they have 19k followers. Pretty great news still tho
Engadget - Is decentralization the future of social media?
Meta’s adoption of ActivityPub could expose a lot more people to the power, and perils, of decentralized social networks..
Welcome to the club! I did an audible 'oooooh' the first time ActivityPub really clicked with me lol.
gods tagging someone's masto directly from lemmy, and them being able to directly respond via masto is just so fucking nice
Also, you might want to take a look at https://zdf.social/@ZDF and https://ard.social/
ZDF and ARD are the two biggest broadcasters in Germany, and they both have their own ActivityPub (Mastodon) server.
In case you needed some extra convincing that other large mainstream news organisations also have realised that this is actually a good idea that makes sense ;)
A big news org from France is also on Mastodon with like 50k followers, but I cannot remember the name right now
Evan Prodromou (@[email protected]) , one of the co-authors of ActivityPub is super interest in getting Canadian news organisations on board the fediverse. He gave a talk about that last night actually: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/110809723914430376
If you're serious about this, you could totally reach out to him, I'm sure he would love to hear from people in CBC
Oh this is great to hear, I love Ruin and Time, and havent read Memory yet. So if thats even better, woah
Yeah I really love the Children Of series. I just realised that part 3 is finally out, so now I know what I'll be reading next!
I just finished The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. Its so fucking good, amazing worldbuilding, story and message. It really explores all the potential interesting ways that you can envision different future worlds in ways that other SciFi often doesnt. I've never read anything like this before.
People having issues with Mastodon isn’t an attack on your identity that you have to lash out like that lol. It does illustrate the point of the scolding culture and superiority feeling perfectly though, so in that sense it’s actually a great comment
An indepth explanation of how LLMs work with an minimum of jargon
Want to really understand how large language models work? Here’s a gentle primer.
TechCruch - Twitter rival Mammoth adds a personalized For You feed to make its Mastodon client feel familiar
Mammoth is testing the new feed in its TestFlight with just 100 users for the time being but plans to make the new feed a part of its next significant update, Mammoth 2.
As a side note, Ian betteridge, who has the law named after him for the phenomenon you reference, is quite active on the fediverse
NodeBB is also working on activitypub integration
PCMag - Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?
Love Reddit but tired of what's happening to it? We check out Lemmy and Kbin, two open-source fediverse alternatives that are growing fast.
EFF - FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users
We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...
The core premise of federation is that people have the right of association. It’s people core right to say ‘no we don’t want to federate with you’. The microblogging side of fedi has figured this mostly out at this point. Not sure why this is a big deal
