Nichts, da meines Wissens nur ein umgemodeltes Bluesky ist. Warum nicht gleich in eine vernünftige und dezentrale Technik wir #ActivityPub nutzen?

De fria sociala medierna är sociala medier och är oberoende av storföretag och stater. Det är sociala medier som består av fri och öppen programvara som vem sm helst kan anavända och dessutom ändra på. Koden är fritt tillgänglig för vem som helst och dessutom får vem som helst ändra i koden och skapa nåt eget.

@publicvoit Das #ActivityPub Plugin für Wordpress (von @pfefferle und Automattic) ist übrigens auch recht leiwand.

À Londres, éditeurs et développeurs explorent ActivityPub pour reprendre le contrôle face aux algorithmes des plateformes.
Le Bristol Cable montre la voie : 2 600 membres payants, une app basée sur ActivityPub, relation directe sans intermédiaire. Quand les protocoles ouverts deviennent l'arme de reconquête des médias indépendants.

Btw, this is a good opportunity to once more thank @nlnet for their years-long hard work and support of the social web, and the fediverse in particular. I counted 86 fine social web R&D projects who have received @NGIZero and other @ngi support from the #EU over the past couple of years.
At the bottom of the article I mention the urgent #FOSDEM talk and call-to-action by @michiel and also the 2019 keynote given by @darius at the #ActivityPub Conference in Prague on "How to play and win our own game" independent of #BigTech and corporate hypercapitalist shenanigans.

@ben wrote a good article "Growing the open social web" for FediForum.
It poses this *essential* question: Why do we want to grow the open social web and for whom?
While the question is crucial when considering the future of social networking and the role of online technologies in society, it is not a question that is being addressed in any significant way. Our social web and fediverse "just happens", emerging from this chaotic cauldron of mostly technical discussions about which features to put in apps, how to connect one app to the next, and which social web technology or app is better than others.
Ben makes an appeal for creating good protocols, where the real value is, but only if we can share ownership of them. I 100% agree with the points in the article.
But how do we get there? What is this ownership? How do we achieve it, and subsequently retain it? I wrote down some some thoughts in a blog post.

After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.
MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.
It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.
What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage
Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.
It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.
Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.
The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.
TestFlight link:

Stay tuned.

Aqui vai link para trédi que ilustra as tretas entre desenvolvedores de #ActivityPub e #ATProto. De minha parte, sou à favor de pontes que interliguem arquipélagos os quais desejam se conectar na #opensocialweb. O Fediverso que vislumbro tem como referência o protocolo que não tem dono, e para mim não faz qualquer sentido realizar políticas públicas no ATProto. Mas dificultar pontes com aplicações / ambientes que desejam se conectar é "tolinho".

@BjornW #ATproto is just a shitty reimplementation of #AntisocialMedia amd #ActivityPub is an open standard that actually allows #SelfHosting & #SelfCustody.
- Personally, I don't hope, in fact don't want to see such interoperability!
- Because it'll only enhance the #enshittification like accepting #OOXML instead of mandating #OpenDocument!
