Thank you writing it! I went back and read your whole series!

The promise of seemless interoperability in social media is really cool to me! The devs making it happen are just awesome.

Have you checked out peertube yet?

Maybe make it possible for a server to only share aggregate votes on a given post?

Like a proxy vote, where only the server knows who it belonged too.

Right. We are IDEALLY only identifiable by our content and where to reach us at for a given persona online.

A contrary ideal for where votes are supposed to represent an actual plurality of stake holders in the social contract.

Keeping an eye out for the matrix commune-os project to get to ActivityPub support. Them and Forgejo and Gitlab work to add AP support!

Old graphic is all Is Nostr bigger than the fediverse?

I agree there too. I think the idea of different contexts would have to evolve to make sense where now the silos act as their own windows.

I mean why? Like there are things I think might be neat that is only really fediverse capable (like the idea of the everything app, by accessing the same data but through the users preferred UIs rather than reposts of screen shots or opaque links), but if someone sees an idea they like, why not run with that too?

We don’t have to use luckly (its was n3ver my cup of chai).

So if someone wanted to use this for work they would have to have an issue, find an answer, contact a person, and hope they can use the thing they just found to their problem?

Like, who wants that?

Heck I don’t want every person on here who found something I said useful to be hounding me about using my code either.

There is a Foss alt already https://www.codidact.com/

Maybe just supporting federation feature for it?

Or used by people in any commercial product. Is there really enough people to justify a info exchange of just hobby projects?

Gitlab has some federation in experimental phases right now too!

Oh Apub is great. AP is super overloaded. A7Pub maybe?

The level of expected support for those is a lot greater.

I wonder if there is cludgy workaround to make groups just another user for the rest of the fediverse

I hope it’s helpful! I think your idea is definitely cool, I would love to see something like it take off tbh!

Invite only app maybe? If you get the sign up process to be an NFC or QR code type thing you could effectively limit it to people in that area that know each other or that see the qr code. You could even have the signin do imprecise GPS checking if you wanted to limit it further (not fool proof, but does it have to be?)

You could have something like the described in the digital bonfires idea and have a regularly scheduled means of moving things from local to people just passing through.

Sick I might actually get a nebula account, though I worry about the legality (and accidentally supporting a proprietary entity right before it slaps this service down). Any details I’m missing that might assuage my fears?

Oh cool! I’ll have do some digging to see how skohub compares to wiki data!

I feel like it goes with the law and order cadence too lol

I think a centralized view of knowledge that Wikipedia provides is great, plus the record of changes and discussions help capture some of the nuances people are aiming for.

That said where this really accelerates is when bias is wanted. For example the Arch wiki vs Debian wiki vs Wikipedia all SHOULD have biases that cater to their specific audience, even if there is obvious overlap.

Interestingly use of wikidata could help create aknowlledge graph associating parts of the fediwikiverse and we might be able to see a dream of mine ; dynamic knowledge content. Where I might be an expert in databases so I can get the condensed version of how postgres but get the beginners version of kubernetes on an article about deploying them together
