#Poll ✏️
I sent a #ThoughtProvoker contrasting Opt-in vs. Opt-out for services that developers launch on our #fediverse.
Thought was that on a #Prosocial web people are fully in control of the services they want to use by opting in, thus providing #consent.
Opt-out is where in many cases de-facto a developer becomes the decider how your content and data is used. To fedizens its often unclear what services interact with their online presence, and in what way. Plus they have to discover the opt-out mechanisms themselves.
https://social.coop/@smallcircles/117285470634849684
My post got an angry reaction from a #fedi developer, who misinterpreted what I said. The devs I know act with the best intentions! Yet some are exasperated with "We can't have nice things with only opt-in".
Recently a discovery service was launched with opt-out based on Indexable flag and Bio tags.
❓ What should be the default for fediverse apps and services ❓

Opt-out happens where random fedi app developers are your landlords who decide what services you get, and who were still benevolent enough to give you a choice (if you happen to find out about these services).
Opt-in fits a public online space where you have your own home and self-sovereignty to decide the services you want to consume in your social household. It is where you have control of your own life.

#ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:
Technology wars are generally unproductive and unconstructive. At the same time there's undeniably competition - #ActivityPub vs #ATProto - or coopetition - ActivityPub vs #XMPP - between different technologies. Because success and popular uptake of one technology can lead to the demise of another.
Instead of diminishing the other #technology and engage in endless heated fights and conflicts, it is better to consider the technology one is most passionate about, and look for all those aspects and factors that are important for its uptake and widespread #adoption. Stand strong in your own shoes. Other #technologies then become input to learn from. What are weaknesses, what can be copied, and what can be done better? And also, where can there be unison, interoperability, collaboration, cross-pollination with other technology ecosystems?
Technology doesn't "win". It's people who stand to win or loose, depending on how well the tech supports their needs.

Adopt a sociosphere-first perspective that then drives technosphere evolution.

#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?

Whereas #ActivityPub is rich email, where we can represent anything, be it an Invoice, Order confirmation, Postal package tracker, Train ticket, Concert booking, Restaurant reservation, Shopping list, Cooking recipe, Science paper, Academic citation, Sport coverage, Adventure game ..
Wherever your fantasy goes.

I am #antiAI in the sense that the disruptive introduction of #LLM platforms into society, and damn the externalities, makes #AI utterly inhumane technology.
What I do not think is very effective, is the anti-AI #activism that involves attacking or 'ostracising' any person who uses AI or is not equally vocal in expressing negative sentiments towards the technology.
People should be pointed to all the dangers and follies of this technology, sure. But repelling all those that use AI, which is nearly everyone since AI is forced down our throat, the activism only serves to push the activist into the fringes, instead of winning people over in a growing movement.
#CALMculture is needed. Constructive activism-led movements, where people are guided on a journey from awareness to delightful #solutions. Offer a path of solution-orientation that open new opportunities, instead of just pointing out harm and laying judgment.
Grab anti-AI opportunity!

@aral curious if your poll was inspired by mine, where I took a single-person instance as the example of my #ThoughtProvoker toot..
https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116542809803489003
Like in the responses to your poll it triggered a whole bunch of interesting discussion. Unfortunately all happens on a communication medium where all insights are lost tomorrow (except for those who keep records and archives, I guess :)
I think really this is an "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" kind of thing, which is inherent to how we evolve the app-centric fediverse. We try to hammer all forms of communication into a Microblog design.
The app platform becomes a straightjacket way of doing things as intended by its developer owners, plus a bag of features to allow variations to that for instance owners, so they can deal with a certain set of edge cases.
I'd choose the option "it depends". It is solution-specific. But there needs to be crystal clear mutual expectations and proper management thereof.
