I just migrated my BlueSky-hosted account to a self-hosted PDS. I'm contemplating using #FediSky as a personal bridge between the atproto account and my fedi identity and migrating my Fedi content to the PDS (and then shutting down my self-hosted Mastodon). Has anybody tried this and, if so, would you like to share your experience? #ActivityPub

And all of this starts with the data itself.Code is data. Data is code.
#GDPR lack of enforcement against US #BigTech shows that while you are right at a theoretical level, in practice we need to be extremely careful to not be fooled by lobbyists that work to replace law with "paper compliance".
It would be easy for a US company to argue they produce open source, with open formats and open API defined by "open standards" that they control.
Then, to keep everything unchanged, they might just take competitor out of the market with overwhelming complexity, unfair competition based on free tiers and by buying the few survivors (if any).
Forced interoperability might be a step further, but it's not enough anyway: both #Meta and #BlueSky interoperate with the #fediverse over #ActivityPub, but in fact they jusr harmed the fediverse without any user moving over here preserving their contacts.
In brief, to get Digital Sovereignty we need to get rid of US tech.
There is no alternative, only procrastination.
They key point is that source code must be open and available for all. That takes away the chances of someone talking full control of the software and restricting the freedom otherwise possible.I'd love if it was that simple!
Unfortunately, it's not.
Again, #Chromium is open source and its code is available for all.
Yet it's tightly controlled by #Google that shape it (and the #WHATWG "open standards") into one of the worse and most powerful surveillance and manipulation tools out there.
I agree that some #opensource projects might be useful to gain #DigitalSovereignty (think of #NextCloud for example), but only if when their development is not controlled by any corporation tied with external governments.
This cut out all biggest open source projects, mostly leaded by US corporations or their employees.
data in an open standard is another piece in the same puzzle.Again, it's not so simple: for example both #OpenDocument and #OOXML (#OfficeOpenXML) are open standards, but in fact when you save in ooxml (docx, xlsx..) by #Microsoft tools, they include undocumented proprietary extensions that #LibreOffice cannot handle properly.
So again while proprietary formats always harm individual freedom and #DigitalSovereignty of nations, openness is not, by itself, enough to get them.
And yet, a proprietary format developed by a fully European company would harm individual freedom just like any proprietary format but, given the company would be only and fully subject to European law (no #FISA702, no #CLOUD Act, no #Trump...), it would still enhance the digital sovereignty of the Union over an open standard totally controlled by US corporations.
So things are more complex and you can't get any real freedom or sovereignty from buzzwords like "open", "free" or #foss.
So again, to get #digital sovereignty, first of all we need to be laser focused on getting rid of #US control over #UE computing, citizens and lawmakers.
Some Free Software and Open Standards may help achieving such goal, but just being open is not enough. And we can't wait for all european software to be free to achieve Digital Sovereignty.

First Australia and now Spain and other European countries are looking into banning #socialmedia for kids.
A lot will be writen about these moves. The belated debate reflects societies left and right waking up to their abysmally bad governance of all things digital.
The question and challenge for the #fediverse is if this emerging vacuum can/should be filled in any way by alternative #opensource / #activitypub platforms that are focused on younger people and are manifestly *good* for them.

#snac is a pretty cool #fediverse #activitypub server software!
Super lightweight, no database, easy to set-up.
I will not replace my main #mastodon instance with it, but i really have some other use cases for it, for example some bots or so.
And from what I saw, the code also is pretty nice to learn things from it. (me, a c programming noob)

Let me tell you about OpenMentions
OpenMentions is a website I made around the idea of OpenTopics, which are targets for WebMentions with a standing invitation to tag them whenever you want. This, I hope, creates a little more discoverability in the WebMention ecosystem.
OpenMentions also supports ActivityPub.
Eh, what, Matt?
This post is about my website, which you can add comments to from your own website.
If your website supports WebMentions (the tech that does all that) and auto-sends mentions, all you need to do is add a link to the topic page (or question of the week). If not, thereâs a ping thing where you can post your link on the page you linked to.
WebMentions are a better, more modern Trackback.
Why, though, Matt?
Not long after I started using WebMentions, I started to think thoughts. Dangerous, I know. My thoughts ran something like this:
I remember when Technorati was cool. It used to index blog posts.
I wish we had something like that now, but a bit more IndieWeb.
These WebMention things are great. You could use them to live update blog topics. I wonder why no one has done that yet.
With those thoughts refusing to leave my head, I saw an idea I could make happen. That was when I made OpenMentions. I was, I would later learn, following the IndieWeb principle of make what you need. Closely followed by use what you make.
I tag OpenMentions from many of my blog projects and try to encourage others to do the same. To avoid drowning out less frequent voices, I try not to tag it too much.
Okay, sure. Whatâs the tech behind OpenMentions, Matt?
Because I lacked the spoons to code something from scratch, I took a few minor shortcuts. I created a WordPress blog, custom-themed it (not my best work) and used the excellent WebMention (and later, ActivityPub) plugins. After all, why reinvent the square wheel?
I wrote a simple plugin to help me add topic pages.
Thatâs it. Not much at all.
You said something about OpenTopics. What are they, Matt?
OpenTopics is the theory I cooked up first. My idea was that my website should not be the sole endpoint because it could go away.
I envisage a set of meta tags that all topic end points to be found and followed. But, for now, all I do is link from a topic page to other websites that want to host more specific topics.
You silly-billy, Matt. IndieNews is a thing!
I first learned about IndieNews in the last few days from Wojtek Powiertowskiâs blog post, âExploring the Smallweb and IndieWebâ. To be honest, I might not have made OpenMentions if I found IndieNews first.
I think both can coexist because the overlap is only a good thing. Iâm about to go add links to IndieNews to OpenMentions.
Who can use OpenMentions?
Anyone at all.
What about spam then?
Because WebMention checks for an inbound link, spam has been entirely self-filtering up to now. Long may that last.
Hey Matt, you broke something. My ping was accepted, but I donât see my comment.
WordPress holds comments from places it has not seen before for manual approval. I keep meaning to write a plugin that will auto-approve WebMentions and ActivityPub replies. Iâll get there eventually unless someone beats me to it.
I have suggestions, Matt
Every topic page has a topic meta. If you need to be more general, the OpenMentions Mentions page exists. Send a mention ping to whatever chatty meta bit you want to talk about.
Or comment here (even though OpenMentions is where the cool kids are).
In conclusion
In conclusion. I made a thing. It is sort of like a forum, except you use your own website (or Mastodon account). It is free, open to all, and (in my egotistical opinion) rather cool.
I would love more people to use it.
PS
Iâm writing this for IndieWeb News and filing this as IndieWeb on OpenMentions. If you read it on MatrixDreams.com, the middle bit has some cool formatting.
