I think thats unlikely. If the fediverse wants it or not, its growth is now heavily dependent on Meta

Thanks for the explanation. Didn’t realize Bluesky/AT is more like a fedi-washed version of ActivityPub rather than a real alternative …

I’m not sure; on the one hand, I think the fact that federation has become a unique selling point in micro-blogging is indicating a positive trend; so even if people join Bluesky its good for the Fediverse. On the other hand, if federated just becomes another buzz word that means nothing at all, while places where the real innovation is happening are drowned out, the window of opportunity could just close.

I think its a cool idea. I had a similar idea once: https://fungiverse.wordpress.com/2024/07/27/floo-network-anouncement/ but for the whole social web instead of just Lemmy.

Its interesting, it could get overwhelming easily though. Maybe this could be solved by only showing instances of a certain size?

:D good one. My new favourite take on nostr.

Even if it doesnt have much impact on activitypub-fedi, I think this is good news for the fediverse in general. X is loosing more and more relevancy and microblogging is more and more happening on federating services.

Its less open, but its definitely federated. Whether its a walled garden or not depends on the definition ;)

I’m not sure something like this will be the killer app for the Fediverse.

I think its more a transition-app as long as we have protocol wars. Most people are good with having access to the majority of the Fediverse and probably dont even know about the others.

Its still a great idea!

Regarding 2: you can also join the Fediverse this way with certain clients I believe. You are automatically signed up for lemmy.world for example

Piefed has topics, so different fediverse communities can be viewed through the Fediverse-topic for example

It was an interesting read. I’m willing to do certain parts of that like listening more to marginalized voices. What bugs me though is that basically the text says that we need to disrupt the system, because its racist; but on the other hand, it basically assumes that the system was and always has been racist. And this is again identity politics: based on Focaults post structuralism; societal, liberal progress is a myth, etc. etc. There is no actual believe in societal progress (which I do believe in primarily through technological progress).

I think the topic of racism and discrimination needs to happen on the Fediverse if its an issue. However, I’m worrying that your approach is more counterprodctive. I think its fine to ask for proof for the supposed racist culture on Lemmy, because I think every argument needs to have some argumentative ground. I’m against discrimination (which certainly happens on the Fediverse), but I dont think identity politics have come up with productive tools to tackle the issues they point out.

Like, I’m starting to think it was your alt that made those posts,

This is so dumb but it DOESN’T EVEN MATTER FOR THE ISSUE AT HAND. Stop distracting (also: I think they are valid so why should I have made an alt?)

Or maybe you just want to argue with someone? In that case you’ll need to find someone else too

No, I’m done here

Well they always were pretty radical, so that’s nothing new … But now also the Lemmy community is turning more and more authoritarian (or it wasn’t as apparent to me at it is now). That’s why removing the post is really problematic. With this they seem to silence the extremism problem of the lemmy community, which (also never a secret) is partly due to the developers political standing.

without knowing any details

Did you read the comments?

Besides, like I said the correct way to handle that is messaging the admins, not putting someone on blast on a bunch of different subs so people would harass them without knowing any details

Well if you contribute to a project AND have very firm political standing you put yourself on public display and have to live with people commenting on it (no harassment of course).

What do you even mean with admins? Like the other developers? They apparently seemed fine with it. Also this is a issue of the broader lemmy community, because we have an extremism problem. Its true that it didn’t start with THIS developer. Silencing it like this is very problematic. Under the post were pretty interesting conversation going on about the broader issue.

But if its a post with a new issue, it should be fine. 4 different subs isn’t spamming. Just remove it in the sub where it doesn’t belong.

Seems like the suspicion that the developers political standing does have an influence over a services community (especially in the beginning) is becoming more and more apparent. Of course the developers political standing somehow influences which users the service attracts.

If Threads joins the Fediverse, people will use it - probably at first without knowing it, but they will use it.

Well its mostly a matter of taste. There should also be a vote
