#buildbridges — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #buildbridges, aggregated by home.social.

  1. It's fine for developers to champion their own protocol and software, obviously you should be. But for the rest of us, it's much better to just be an advocate of #BringDownTheWalls & #BuildBridges / #BuildBridgesNotWalls. It's fine to have favourites, but try to avoid #ProtocolWars / #NetworkWars.

  2. 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. 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.
