he surely knows the tech. what’s concerning is how he’s blocking anyone trying to contribute to work on it if it doesn’t fit his agenda. very concerning and self centred. a total waste.
unfortunately he’s not one of the interesting co-author of the protocol. too self centred.
define these people. define these instances. etc etc
what’s your point? anyone can do a screen shot and share it too.
if you want to have a conversation about the content of my post, please keep it on topic : without authorised fetch and a domain blocked at the instance level, the content is pushed.
if you have technical knowledge to add to this or can correct me about the protocol I’m glad to hear it. if not I’m not interested.
Yes and that’s their right.
But thankfully they don’t impose anything to anyone. You had me worried for a minute.
where did you see that the fedipact main purpose was to impose defederation? that would be rich.
I came to the fediverse in 2017, so nothing to do with reddit or meta or twitter.
The fact is here, we have a choice. So you do you.
On mastodon I have an account on an instance that blocked meta and is using authorised fetch (so the proper way to block a domain) : great, my content won’t go there or on any other blocked domains : it’s my choice.
I have another account on another instance that didn’t blocked meta : great, my content will be shared with threads users and I will be able to browse threads.
Choice, isn’t it great?
protecting your content from being pushed to an instance that you though your blocked.
protecting your content from being shared where you though it won’t because of the way things are worded.
yes, on Mastodon when a user block an instance, it’s more like a mute than a block. Your posts will still be available to them, but you won’t see their content.
The only solution if you want to protect your content from being shared on an instance is to block it at the instance level AND that the instance use Authorised Fetch.
Not all instances have this feature on.
and for you throwing an example is enough to make a point? how do you know that I don’t bother about it on other places on the web? do you know about whataboutism? do you think that the old “it was always like this so it’s ok” is a relevant position?
please keep your condescending tone to you. if you don’t want to have a real discussion about this and just want to get upvotes, go for it. I don’t care and leave me alone please
Well I’m sorry that you read it this way. I was not my intention.
You didn’t address any of my points and you just unequivocally judged it and dismissed it.
Thanks @Bloonface for writing and sharing this. I think that it’s fundamental to analyse what’s happening with ActivityPub and the Fediverse. It’s good to be here, it feels good to be freed of any disgusting CEO. But still I find it sane to ask ourselves about the quirks that should be addressed with the fediverse?
I have a few on the top of my mind:
Not all instances are run as co-op. We rely on people who are doing a lot of work and paying server cost from their own pocket. Maybe they got funded by users, maybe not. It’s not that transparent. And admin have some issues with each other, defederating, blocking instance for personal or non so personal reason. So at the end it’s not a really sustainable way of building things in my opinion. Some instances are funded as co-op, but most are not. We are relying on individuals to keep things running. The mental charge is big.
We need transparency about instance ownership to be able to choose what model we want to support.
I’m also really interested on how the GDPR compliance will be enforced. Meta’s threads couldn’t launch in the EU, so I wonder about the status of Mastodon. Is it a work in progress situation or did the EU not reach out mastodon.social yet and wait for a bigger user base?
Regarding the efficiency of the protocol, I couldn’t find any discussion about it. I was wondering if the cost of being federated, posts and media being pushed from server to sever will have a negative impact regarding energetic consumption. I’ve read that mastodon was quite “hungry”. So I asked one of ActivityPub co author about it, if they accounted energetic consumption when designing the protocol. The answer was “No.” And they blocked me.
Maybe it’s not a big deal and the impact is not bad. But right now if have no idea. So I’m using a service without knowing the cost of it, the consequence, and this is not ok. And I find it really annoying that this topics is not being covered more and the discussion censored in a way.
It’s not a matter of ruining the nice thing we have. It’s more about transparency, let users know where we are now, so we can all decide where we would go next.
could someone explain me how to subscribe to magasine that are not on kbin. I’m on kbin.social and when I clic on a link that is on Lemmy I can’t subscribe, I need to log into Lemmy.
