Iapar , to fediverse in What the fediverse needs is....CIRCLES!

We need a one protocol that everyone adheres to.

People talk about fediverse and say it is decentralized, which is true, but mostly it is fractured.

I came here because i thought all those services are united under a common protocol so every service can communicate with other services.

Maybe they show it in a different style or follow another philosophy but the “content” is there for everyone.

Doesn’t seem that way. Everyone does it in their own way and that kinda sucks to be honest.

But yeah… Cicles would be cool.

Lost_My_Mind OP ,

I’ve been saying this since day 1 of me being here.

Aatube , (edited ) to fediverse in What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?

Threads has close ties with Instagram

(Threads uses opt-out ActivityPub.)

Edit: It's actually opt-in.

Threads uses opt-out ActivityPub.

That’s not true. I can neither opt my test account in nor out of ActivityPub. It’s simply not available to Mastodon.

Aatube , (edited )

Yeah, because your instance and almost all instances have decided to straight-up defederate cuz Meta will access the federated info

I just edited my comment to add a link to the guide for opting in.

No, it didn’t defederate from Threads.

cuz Meta will access the federated info

Meta will access Threads accounts via federation? Um, sure… I mean it’s on their platform already…

I just edited my comment to add a link to the guide for opting in.

“Be outside Europe” is hardly a guide to opt in. 🙄 I’m in Europe and my Threads profile just isn’t available on ActivityPub. Period.

Aatube ,

"Be outside Europe" is hardly a guide to opt in.

Ah, that makes sense.

I agree. IMO the thing with everyone defederating from Threads is stupid. I'm expecting both of our replies to receive a bit of downvotes now.

I’ll speak about my experience. Bluesky feels like an upgrade to Twitter. There are many algorithmic feeds to choose from, and it’s easy to discover people to follow. Mastodon, on the other hand, is a straight downgrade from Bluesky because it is lacking in those features.

I imagine a lot of people leaving Twitter feel similarly. They don’t care much about privacy or federation. Bluesky just works, and that’s what matters to them.

xnx ,

What do you mean by privacy? Mastodon doesnt have privacy or encryption

Plopp ,

I guess a lot of people feel like Mastodon is more private because it’s smaller. Which is a kind of privacy, I guess, until it isn’t.

@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

There's not much in the way of communities on PieFed yet. The list is here: https://piefed.social/communities/local?sort_by=last_active%20desc

Following communities from Mastodon works about as well as following Lemmy ones - this is something I'd like to improve, but it's only very recently that we got a community that wasn't a meta / testing one. Following users is less spammy, 'cos you'll get their posts, but not all their comments to other people's posts, so maybe you could try following someone like Rimu.

Either way, Mastodon doesn't process outboxes and backfill old stuff, so you'll have to wait for something new to be posted.

@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Does following a community spam your feed with every reply to every thread in that community, or just with new posts?

andrew_s ,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

It'd be every reply I think.

It's partially fixable, by interacting with Mastodon the same way PeerTube does and have the community Announce only the posts. For everything else after that, it depends on whether the user is local or not. Anything a local user does could be sent directly, and if a remote user replied to a local user's post, the local user could send a 'post update', for Mastodon to then retrieve the replies collection, circumventing the problem of us not having the remote user's private keys. But if a remote user replied to a remote user's post on a local community, they'd be nothing we could do about it (don't have the keys for the 'post update', can't Announce it without it being spammy either)

Hm, messy. Thanks for the reply. It’s like we’re so close to good interoperability, but yet so far.

@rimu@piefed.social avatar

Just new posts :D

I tested it in https://piefed.social/c/playground

EDIT: unless the poster is from a remote instance, then the reply shows up as 'Boosted' in Mastodon. Argh.

MyOpinion , to fediverse in What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?

Moved here and never looked back.

Just as particle physicists measure everything in energy (eV to be precise…)

Mass? eV Energy? eV Distance? 1/eV Time? Guess what: 1/eV as well! This also means velocity has unit 1…

And the worst part: it turns out to be extremely useful!

There’s also Delecta Ltd, which is an Australian sex toy maker and a mining company.

Fiivemacs , to games in Do you think gta 6 will have better story than rdr2?

Lol story. If GTA5 was anything to reference then gta6 won’t have a story and you’ll be forced to buy sharlcards before the game even gets released.

I found gta5 story boring, and rdr even worse. Nothing about both games could keep me interested. They lost a fan who’s been playing since Grand Theft Auto was released, not like they care though.
