🌐 The #Fediverse, a digital ecosystem based on the #ActivityPub protocol, offers an alternative to traditional #socialnetworks by allowing users greater freedom and control.
🤝 This #decentralised system, exemplified by platforms like #Mastodon, aims to create a more authentic and less exploitative experience.
🔥 However, the involvement of #mainstream #tech companies like #Meta, with its controversial history, raises concerns.

If you follow a Ghost site from Mastodon etc, it isn't just a one-way feed.
Ghost sites are actually on the Fediverse and they can interact with Mastodon etc accounts, they can favourite, boost and reply.
You can see the Ghost site @sam replying to @FediFollows here: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/115293813549700275
This is two-directional, and means Fediverse-compatible websites can seamlessly talk with people on social networks. This is how the open web is supposed to work.

Good morning Fediverse.
If one reads the ActivityPub specification, one might think that a headless server, i.e. not providing a HTML frontend, is a possibility. Sure it is!
BUT! Let's think about wanting to build a Recipe Sharing App. Well Mastodon cannot render recipes. You cannot expect everyone to switch to your new app. So if you want the Fediverse to see your recipes, you need to provide a HTML frontend.
Conclusion: headless ActivityPub is not Fediverse.

I not only maintain a list of digital service providers that operate outside U.S. jurisdiction, but also a list of Fediverse sites that use non-U.S. domain extensions.
If these sites also use web hosting outside the United States, their websites could be fully outside U.S. legal reach — which is a smart move. 😉
You can see the list here:

Interesting, posted about Ghost blogs on @FediFollows and some of them have been liking the posts. So, they are not only seeing the mentions but interacting too 🙂

Of course it does not mean that ActivityPub is bad on itself.
It just necessary to admit these things before even thinking about some software project:
1️⃣ Each tech has limits of applicability
2️⃣ Each design decision would either limit your audience (by demanding some tech knowledge to get started) or make your project more vulnerable to censorship or other treats of forced closure.
3️⃣ IT solutions can't solve political problems

This is the default profile photo assigned when you first create a Mastodon account.
If you're still using this photo, and someone like me — who occasionally clears out inactive accounts — sees that you joined 11 months ago but haven’t posted in the past 6, and you never bothered to update your profile... Bye-bye.

@danabra.mov Let me state the following thesis: You cannot have scalable #decentralization and own your own data at the same time. It's a trade off.
#activitypub decided for scalable #decentralization, but at the costs of your data being tied to the servers.
#atproto decided for owning your data (*), but at the costs that it cannot be scalable #decentralized.
(*) At least in theory, because in practice basically everyone is using #bluesky PDSs.

Come to think of it, I know that there's an #ActivityPub plugin for #Wordpress .
But now I am wondering - is there some way of posting webcomics that both (a) looks like a professional comic website and (b) turns each new strip into a #Fediverse post?
