  1. I know some ActivityPub devs feel jealous of AtProto’s success.

    I’ve felt it too.

    But really, we shouldn’t.

    Every serious step toward decentralization is a win for the open social web.

    With tools like Bridgy from @anewsocial, we can stay connected across protocols and keep building a more open future together.

    If you really believe in empowering humanity, then this isn’t competition, it’s momentum.

  2. It's The #ATmosphere network, #Bluesky is just one of many #Federated "servers" running on #ATproto protocol.

    It's part of the larger/umbrella term #SocialWeb (a.k.a. #OpenSocial ) where the objective (s. 2005) is to #BringDownTheWalls (and #BuildBridges ).

  3. Talk about #DDFON (Decentralized, Distributed, Federated, Open, Network) (friendly name: #MycelialWeb), the latest iteration of #Libravatar is now using a federated software.

    wiki.libravatar.org

    I think it has been that way after the service was transferred to a new team.

    Having said that… what if #ActivityPub or at least the various platforms connected to the #Fediverse mycelium network, use Libravatar?

    For this to work though, Libravatar would have to be updated with a new verification process to handle the non-email ActivityPub webfinger. (And I'm not sure if there are other stuff that has to be updated/added.)

    If my memory serves me right, #Friendica and #Hubzilla are already doing this, although as a plugin the admin can toggle (but based on the email address attached to the account).

  4. Contrary to what is written on Wikipedia, the claims by blockchain enthusiasts that “Web3” was first coined in 2014 by an Ethereum co-founder, the term “Web3” has been around since 2007, at least according to these online records:

    * twitter.com/loic/status/280887
    * twitter.com/loic/status/364794
    * twitter.com/loic/status/484783
    * twitter.com/loic/status/493463

    It was Loic Le Meur who first coined it, the brain behind #LeWeb3 conference in France. Web3, or Web3.0 (whichever you prefer to use), is about the #SocialWeb, also called the #OpenSocialWeb, and how #Web3 should be decentralised, distributed, federated, and an open network (#DDFON).

    Web3 is broad, and blockchain is just one part of it, **not** _the_ Web3.

    Also, the argument that there's a difference between “Web3” and “Web3.0” is invalid. If you track, at least what's on Twitter, the two have always been interchangeable. (Also see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web3 )

    So, for whatever it's worth, it's all Web3. No one truly owns the term because it has always been about the decentralisation, distribution, federation, and openness of the Web. Different means, same objective: #BringDownTheWalls and #BuildBridges.

  5. Fantastic lecture about perception, emotions, biases and Why Facts Don't Change Our Minds.

    55 minutes well spent.

    The most useful realization this lecture offered me?

    When someone is "locked into" a belief, they may have left everything else behind to get there. What they may need to get out is not only compassion, but also a stretched-out hand, showing there actually *are* ways out.

    No surprise that evil #police are using social media and #cellphone apps to hunt dissidents. And those #covid19 trackers, a good faith project afaik, in the Western democracies are an obvious #securitybreach P.O.I.N.T. being: -- -- maybe, just maybe we can build a bridge of #reconciliation with the #rightwing wingnut space cadets if we acknowledge that their overblown paranoia about the so-called "deep state" is not lacking a kernel of truth.
