I think a difference between email and ActivityPub-based social media is there's arguably less of a need to have federation between any two servers. If you can't email the government, your sister living abroad, or a client, that's a big problem. But if you can't follow a cat pictures account or your friend's constant stream of baseball rants because the servers don't federate it's not quite the same.

If Meta becomes ActivityPub interoperable instances may or may not federate with them. Either way it's not necessarily going to change my social media experience.

Yeah the Room games are great. I like how intuitively they use the touch controls.

Great news. I think we're still not quite there yet with cultivated meat, but it has great promise. Cultivated meat has the potential to be cheaper, far more environmentally friendly, obviously more ethical, and maybe even healthier. I hope it reaches full scale production with all these benefits in my lifetime.

The Fediverse is still a strange concept to a lot of people. They assume only email is federated and the rest of the web is sites with only internally facing channels of communication.

Hey Stux!

Yeah YunoHost is extremely awesome. I use it to host my Mastodon and Lemmy instances. It’s just a little unfortunate that until Debian 12 is supported, their supported Lemmy version is stuck at 0.16.7. So if you want to set up an Lemmy instance today YunoHost might not be ideal.

Hopefully they can get Debian 12 and latest Lemmy support working without any roadblocks.

Yeeeeeeeehawww!

Probably got your comment in the wrong thread, but that's just a Lemmy bug. Yeehaw!

Yunohost is awesome. I use it myself for my Lemmy instance. Unfortunately because YunoHost doesn't use containers and Lemmy now requires psql 15 it's stuck on Lemmy 0.16.7. So it's not ideal if you want the latest version of the sure to be quickly changing Lemmy software.

There’s many different ways DID could be implemented on top of ActivityPub. I don’t think full content replication (what you’re mentioning) is likely as that’s a fundamentally different style of protocol.

But I can imagine signing in to a different instance with my ID, at which point I subscribe to all my communities from this instance and get notifications if someone replies to one of my comments etc. Just as if I had created an account on this instance and had posted from there. It just means “your” instance can go down and you can continue future interactions mostly uninterrupted from another instance.

YunoHost is a tool which aims to solve the problem of (relatively small scale) self-hosting for people. I use it to host my Mastodon and Lemmy instances and it was very easy. I haven't dealt with email but that's also something it supports.

It's a pretty great platform, although unfortunately it's currently unable to upgrade Lemmy past 0.16.7 which is a bit of a pain.. So it's hard to recommend it for Lemmy right now.

100% agreed with both. Especially DIDs just need to happen on all ActivityPub platforms. It will not only free users from being locked to an instance, but it will also allow instances to be much more flexible in scaling their capacity. Lemmy.ml is overloaded because they have too many users, and anyone who signed up there can no longer use their account. DID would allow them to immediately use their account from any small or large instance with spare capacity without changing the experience. The same would go for Mastodon.

I'm on YouTube a lot. I find a cool video but it doesn't neatly fit into the current set of Beehaw communities. Where should I share it?

 

“I thought of my father waking before dawn, driving hours through the cool morning mist, to cut grass, to spray and inhale chemicals—to become a spectre. He had done everything right. He worked like an animal for his employers. He had no criminal record. His credit was great. He didn’t drink or do drugs. He went quietly to work every morning and came quietly home every evening. He obeyed his bosses and won employee of the year multiple times. He paid his taxes and mowed his lawn and met with his children’s teachers. He was the ideal immigrant. The American Dream personified. And yet, the moment his broken body could no longer be exploited for its labor, he was doubted and ignored and humiliated. Everywhere he turned for help—workers’ compensation or welfare or Social Security or Medi-Cal or the court system itself—he was treated like a scam artist. A crook. The bureaucracy inherent to these programs turned him into a stack of documents. A list of ailments. He was dismissed and forgotten. Just another spectre in America.”
