Well, there was a way to say "Mastodon isn’t a viable mass market Twitter replacement and it wouldn’t become that without significant changes." It's literally that.

It is also pretty noticeably different than saying "Mastodon won't survive."

Not only that, by Ulanoff also compares Mastodon to a social network that did in fact "poof out into thin air", Peach.

You may of course do all sorts of gymnastics when interpreting his piece, but I take what he said at face value. And the fact that he responded to my thread on fedi and admitted he was wrong (kudos for doing that, by the way!) seems to confirm my face-value reading was closer to his intended message when the piece was published.

Nie jestem prawnikiem, więc trudno mi powiedzieć. Warto spytać może Watchdog Polska, podpowiedzą. Generalnie mi chodzi o to, by poszukać takich rozwiązań, które spowodują, że RSS/Atom będzie wygodniejszym/szybszym/łatwiejszym/tańszym wyjściem dla podmiotów implementujących UDIP, niż inne opcje.

Proponuję pomyśleć, jak RSS itp mogą ułatwić wypełnianie zadań wynikających z UDIP. W ten sposób zamiast kija, mamy marchewkę. 😉

Na przykład:

  • udostępnienie treści poprzez kanał RSS lub Atom wypełnia obowiązek informacyjny wynikający z (cośtam cośtam).

Sure thing, enjoy!

ohno, it's out!

Yeah. Thankfully, Fediverse is a bunch of independent projects. There are Pleroma, different Misskey forks, Lemmy, kbin, Pixelfed, Loops, GoToSocial, and dozens more.

Mastodon is still probably the biggest, user-count-wise, but if Mastodon does a real stupid, there's going to be a fork that takes over the mindshare and the instances. This happened with OpenOffice → LibreOffice when the former got taken over by Oracle; this happened with XFree86 → X.org. This happened with ownCloud → Nextcloud.

And there are projects like FediPact, explicitly opposed to having anything to do with Meta on an instance level.

Yup. Up until roughly the times of early Twitter, federated, decentralized communication systems were the obvious norm to any engineer designing one.

Twitter was even meant to be federated and decentralized. I had interviewed one of their first engineers (this piece is about BlueSky, and in Polish; the Twitter thing is important background), who was there and working on that in the very early days. They had a proof of concept. But then the VCs got involved and the decision was that it would be harder to make money on a decentralized service. Rest is history.

Facebook is trying with Threads. Threads is directly targeting Fedi. Thankfully, it does not seem to be working the way Meta wanted it to work – that is, to start sucking people in from fedi due to sheer size and presumably better UI. Turns out people who had moved to fedi really hate Meta, who'da thunk it.

[–] rysiek@szmer.info 3 points 4 months ago

Yup, I really appreciate he did reply. Gotta say that it did improve my opinion of him.

[–] rysiek@szmer.info 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Aww, thank you!

[–] rysiek@szmer.info 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I had an account on identi.ca. I even wrote about this: https://rys.io/en/168.html

Transparency though. 🫠

 

Świetna prezentacja o tym, jak skopany jest dzisiejszy sektor technologiczny.

 

Dawno nikt nic solarpunkowego nie wrzucał. To wrzucam.

 

Smuteczeg.

 

Piąty lolstopada, czy coś

 

The Jacobin Magazine has recently called for More Radical Climate Fiction after reviewing the winning stories of Grist Climate Fiction Contest, which in the editorial's opinion didn't go deep enough into politics or conflicts of the climate change.

It's a pretty common criticism of Solarpunk as a budding genre. In aiming to paint an utopian and highly aesthetic vision of a better world many authors choose to leave a lot of politics and potential struggles out of their stories.

I think that we don't need to avoid politics or community conflicts, even open struggles in our dreams of a better tomorrow. For the past few months I've been working on a list of story prompts - and concrete Solarpunk communities which don't shy from hard questions while still being full of hope. I'd like to share some of them with you.

 

Pomysł na stworzenie zdecentralizowanych, federowanych repozytoriów kodu nie jest nowy -- technicznie rzecz biorąc, git jest jak najbardziej zdecentralizowany.

Oczywiście diabeł tkwi w systemie śledzenia błędów, a te już zdecentralizowane zdecydowanie nie są. Jakiś czas temu projekt ForgeFed próbował to zmienić, ale główna osoba za nim stojąca postanowiła, że życie jest ciekawsze bez komputerów.

Na szczeście inni przejęli pałeczkę. Projekt FedeProxy dostał dofinansowanie i publikuje regularne informacje o postępach.

Warto śledzić.
