posting on X is fine, only on X is bad. that forces your readers to be exposed to their propaganda.
posting on fedi could/should mean posting the actual article on their own site using WordPress or Ghost. ala #APnative. doing more of this would demonstrate to all writers how inferior using the corporate platforms really is.

I saw this article on @Mastodon and saved it to @wallabag in the last two days. but after listening to it, I want to boost the original post I saw. but I forgot to bookmark it. and even if I was able to do that, I wouldn't be boosting the actual article like would be possible if it was #APnative.
can't we do better? doesn't the interoperability promised by decentralization mean we can do better? become the best place for journalism?
bookmark once, it auto queues up. etc.
-
what if we could get all the newsletter alternatives to #substack to support the fedi? such that if you wrote on any of them, the article could be boosted here (I call it being #APnative). people use SS cause it gets them lots of attention but we could provide the hub around which to organize an open alternative ecosystem for attention.
obviously #ghost and #wordpress and #writeas are on board. #medium? I know @buttondown is here. what about #beehiiv? others?
-
please make articles #APnative such that newsletters etc are also social media items, able to be directly boosted, replied to and favorited.

Let's use #ActivityPub for podcasts in addition to RSS in order to allow people to subscribe to a podcast from their podcatcher just like they follow an account here.
Imagine @[email protected] etc.

I'd like a website that served as my social media server. I'd use it to browse my feed. I could connect any app I want to it.
But it would also allow me to write, where each article was also a social media post under its own social media account. Same for podcasting. And video. You could subscribe to them in different reader/media player apps. Boostable RSS.
personal: @[email protected]
writing: @[email protected]
podcast: @[email protected]
video: @[email protected]That's the future I think most creators want.

So apparently the standard.site lexicon for ATproto does for ActivityPub what I'm calling making your site #APnative. Except you also need to run your own PDS afaik. I guess that's like having to run ghost or WordPress so far. IDK. also the ATmosphere is much less decentralized but also much bigger than fedi.
Either way, doing this for all independently created work is decentralized social media's killer app.

if I understand, it's very similar to what I've been calling #APnative. where an article is also a boostable etc social media post. I think being able to offer this kind of independence and ownership of their interactions (track everything in one place, no limits by platform owners) is decentralized social media's killer app. imagine doing it for podcasts and video and music too.
(obviously we differ re which protocol will do it better :)
-
An article can be made directly boostable with #ActivityPub. I call it #APnative and WordPress and Ghost already allow us to publish that way. I desperately want this to happen with podcasts too. Perhaps such that we use AP in addition or instead of RSS as the base of the format.
Can content that works with #ATproto live outside of a PDS? (I'm not sure I'm even asking the question correctly)

All I'm asking for is to be able to boost a podcast on the fedi. Let's make podcasting #APnative.
-
The bad guys are winning because the decentralized alternatives are not working together very well. The server people with the app developers. We can't even agree on an attention protocol thanks to #bluesky. Ultimately we're all being held back because we don't have a fiat protocol to enable automatic and direct payments of what we can afford to creators for time spent with their work.
AFAICT few even think of their projects as part of an ecosystem.
-
My idealism says that someday everybody will self publish as #APnative, we'll all be using FOSS apps that provide a great experience, everybody will be on fedi and attention will be fully determined by human boosts and we'll all pay what we can automatically and directly to creators. And it will be enough to encourage every creator to move from the corporate platforms, Meta X etc but also Netflix Spotify YT etc, to embrace our open ecosystem.
-
Would it be possible to have the articles/posts from flipboard.com accounts be #APnative?
For example, #WordPress and #Ghost do this now. The post is the article. It's an innovation that should be the fedi's killer app. Creators retain control/oversight over their social media interaction in a way impossible to do on the corporate platforms.

Please stop with the post threads and instead post an #APnative article. You can do it with #WordPress or #Ghost. Then boost it from your main fedi account if necessary.

love that you're federating. this post is #APnative meaning that the article itself, not just another post linking to it, can be boosted and favorited and replied to.
you can also just use this account to post short messages or reply to others like normal social media. just click on Network in the Ghost admin panel.
welcome to the fedi. #SocialWeb
-
The work itself should be able to go viral. We're still treating social media as separate from the web. Making every article, podcast, video, song etc #APnative is how we change that and ensure that decentralization wins. Published should mean directly boostable, not by creating a post that links to it. Replace the myriad of social network icons with only three...boost, favorite and reply.
-
I can't think of anything else right now except that I just created an #APnative article using #ghost. How to explain what that points to for the future of social media but really all of how we determine together what deserves attention. Which has huge civic and cultural implications. I'm just stuck.
-
I do not.
But I think this might help fedi because it will increase the demand to know where AI content originated, and only fedi allows content to be #APnative.
on the corporate platforms, an "official" account is hard to prove. it's still just an account on their servers.
but on fedi, the account could (should) be on its own servers and we can both see who boosted it and never have it just spread by algos. the entire path towards virality is accountable.
-
sure but people don't even get social media, which is why they're leaving for group chats etc.
and current lock-in prevents us from selling our product. "come on over and hang out with none of the people you currently get to..." decentralization can prevent that in the future but you can't sell that (except if people could switch en masse).
imo our killer app is still in the making. letting creatives run their own site and have their work be #APnative. then their fans follow them here.
-
mostly blogs became newsletters and blogrolls became social media. the centralization and corporations made it all less cool but that's changing. our big hurdle is still making the money flow directly and automatically from readers to writers. also need to turn the writing/reading (TTS) experience into more of an open ecosystem like podcasting. lots of creator tools, lots of reading apps. an understood interface format.
[WP articles are #APnative and can thus be directly boosted.]
-
Write an article on your own site. Or post a podcast episode, song or video there.
The thing itself, not another post you create linking to it, should automatically then show up on social media, for your followers to boost and have go viral. All the interaction visible in one place. Quote boosts should work with this too. Same with lemmy style commentary.
Isn't that our killer app?
#Wordpress already does this. I wish everybody else was working on it.
-
I wanted to instead boost this episode directly (had it been #APnative) or boost a post linking to it from any of the three main participants. Couldn't find one but maybe that's cause I'm a week late.
-
it's progress but I'm not sure it's the model I want to see win. what others call microblogging is imo a social news feed. our open graph. I want to be able to plug that into my podcatcher but also a reader app and video player. everybody publishing everything as #APnative so that the work itself can be boosted and go viral, and have comments and favorites attached. WP does this now, not sure anybody else does. and we don't have any apps/players embracing the vision yet afaik.
-
we've gotta flesh out the decentralized ecosystem in order to better compete. make the content #APnative, build more reader apps, figure out direct and automatic funding.
-
so could they be more fedi supportive? make their articles #APnative? I follow this account: @theintercept

In the video in the post I just boosted, @anildash says #Substack is now boiling the frog in a slow move from email towards lock-in. And of course they work with Nazis etc.
What we need is an effort between newsletter publishers like #Ghost #WordPress etc and reader apps like @wallabag to build an ecosystem like podcasting. To make it smooth while remaining totally open. I'd argue for using #ActivityPub in addition to RSS to support boosts. Then we need decentralized money.
-
I use @wallabag for that now. It's great. It doesn't require kicking the audio out to a podcatcher.
Instead of RSS, I'd like to see integration with #ActivityPub. Allowing us to bookmark it here and have it show up in the reader queue. And have the reader let us boost it and favorite and reply from there. And show us the most popular articles with the people we follow.
imo we need a reader ecosystem like we have a podcast ecosystem today. we need #APnative articles.
