#microblogging — Public Fediverse posts

Kinek kell még egy social media / #microblogging platform? Valakinek kell még vajon az eYou?!? Sokadiknak? 🤔
Nekem nem. Így is az az érzésem, hogy valahogy "defrag"-olni kellene a kontentot. Van aki Bluesky-on aktív, van aki Mastodon-on, és még páran maradtak X-en is. Van aki a szakmai tartalmat kizárólag LinkedIn-re vitte. Nem gyözöm követni, ki hol aktív, kinek a tartalmát hol érem el...
Te mit gondolsz erről?

Wow, what a year it's been, and it's only August. We moved houses, and sold our home of 25 years. I retired, and now spend more time photographing than in the 19880s when I started. (I was a much more loose canon in those days.) An inheritance had a lovely upside, I got to buy a mirrorless digital camera, the kind I've been dreaming about for 15 to 20 years. I've been so busy I have neglected all my online activities except for flickr and a bit of Tumblr.
Let's see how the rest of the year pans out.

Trying to restart the habit of writing has been hard. Not because of busyness or work or lack of inspiration…. I am just in a spiral of selecting a platform that would make it frictionless and easy for me.

I have been playing with:
- Write.as > what I used to use, fediverse support
- Pika.page > nice and fresh; great editor
- micro.blog > flexible but uber-clunky editor
- Bear blog > extreme minimalism

Herlein: A Quieter Place: Why textlog Reminds Me of the Twitter I Actually Miss. “I was pleasantly surprised to come across textlog, a small, new project that seems to be trying to rebuild that room on purpose. The pitch, in the site’s own words, is ‘a quieter place for your thoughts.’ That’s not marketing copy dressed up as humility — it’s an actual design constraint.”

Testing Eurosky Social and ATproto apps. Microblogging, long-form blogging, RSS readers, video clients — entire ecosystems I didn't know existed. Free tier for now.

I'm not big on #DesktopEnvironments outside of work, but one thing I love about #KDE #Plasma is having the #NASA #APOD as the lockscreen. :D — #microblogging #MicroToot: 140 characters

Best actual microblogging replacement for Twitter these days? (Not really seeking a particular "community" but basically the intellectual & age & emotional maturity opposite of Threads, which is just about the worst place on the internet now.

But I WANT character restriction for just vague little brain twitches…

🚨 BREAKING: We've discovered the hipster's #dream come true – a #microblogging platform so #minimalist, it makes Twitter look like a Shakespearean epic! 🌿 Just 280 characters to "express" your deepest non-thoughts with no JavaScript, because nothing says cutting-edge like embracing 1995 #web technology. 😂

An ingenious Fediverse design idea, fully implemented in the most frugal of hardware setups (in NetBSD). So charming.

Bravo, Stefano.

"The post you wrote is the blog post. Same database, same act of writing, still boostable, still repliable, still part of the conversation on the fediverse side. The blog is just a second representation of the same content, generated automatically."

"As a status, it lives in the fediverse, interactive, part of the conversation, subject to replies and boosts like anything else. As a static page, it lives on the web, durable, indexable, with a permalink, something an RSS reader can hold onto. You don't have to decide in advance which posts deserve to last."

Da ich mich mal wieder ein bisschen mehr mit der Zukunft von #Microblogging beschäftigt, kommt mir direkt das Twitter in Plain English Video in den Sinn, mit dem ich damals viel Twitter-Promo gemacht habe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddO9idmax0o … die guten, alten Zeiten 😂

Hi #Fediverse people

whoever uses multiple formats like #microblogging, #photos sharing etc. Do u use separate platforms for each purpose? Like #pixelfed for photos

Let's say I'm interested to post pics and also do microblogging and also would like to do some #blogging too in future.

Is it okay to post all that in a single account since we all consume via hashtags etc or u suggest any other way?

@dmathieu

NodeInfo isn't part of #ActivityPub and neither is it required to be implemented by fedi software.

What #fediverse is and isn't is an interesting question. Does following between actors make the software on both ends part of the fediverse? Should a fediverse app support #microblogging? Be compatible with Mastodon?

Perhaps being part of fediverse means if 2 independent 3rd-parties are able to interoperate with each other? Does that require sending Follow msgs?

If someone has a federated Product catalogue that federates with itself and a 3rd-party Order delivery service, is it part of the fediverse? Even when no Follow is sent?

It is undefined what being part of the fediverse means. There used to be a Federated Network Association (Feneas) as a major dev community besides #SocialHub, which defined fediverse as any software that implemented AP, #XMPP, or #Matrix protocol.

@steve even wrote that nothing even truly implements AP, and I tend to agree.

I really want a little dummy terminal on my desk, hooked up to my computer, with tmux or something running on it. That would rock. XD — #microblogging #MicroToot: 133 characters

#ThoughtProvoker 🤔

#Fediverse is a *social* network, right? About being different from corporate anti-social media. Has ambitions to be more diverse, inclusive, cohesive. To provide inter-community social networking where people with similar interests find each other and interact.

Like the #ActivityPub developer community, for instance. The group of people who make all this possible in the first place. Together they uphold the fediverse technology ecosystem and are collectively responsible for evolving it. They chose fediverse as their communication medium, dogfooding their creations, even though this comes with its disadvantages. #Microblogging is ephemeral and fleety and discussions are dispersed and fragmented. There are clear points of improvements for the #fedi, frequently discussed.

What's very odd is that most AP devs hardly:

1. Engage with other AP devs posts.
2. Boost each other's msgs for visibility.
3. Use hashtags for discoverability.

Low-hanging fruit for improvement?

"Post has 9 boosts"

Clicks to see who boosted..

"No one has boosted this post yet. When someone does, they will show up here."

Hey #tooters, is there a simple, easy-to-compile grammar checker that can run from the command line, sort of like aspell? :D #AskFedi — #microblogging #MicroToot: 133 characters

@djm62 @shlee

Not sure if there's an existing framework that can be designed to work with #ActivityPub. But I do think that thinking about consent in a more general/generic sense would be a worthwhile effort. This should be something that is picked up at the #SocialCG level, or perhaps in #FEP documents first. A lot of the mechanisms that proliferate now are also app-centric and almost *assume* that #fediverse is a glorified #microblogging environment. The more that trend continues, the more that will indeed be the case. This is what my long blog post was about, that I wrote recently:
