Exactly!

It’s not about Totalizing Enforcement. What it changes is the cultural norm. Not right away but over time.

An age limit on alcohol never stopped anyone of any age to acquire alcohol, but it sets the societal bar for what’s acceptable. You don’t wanna be the parents that gave your kids alcoholic beverages at 13.

It’s always a little jarring how everyone very readily believes that the Scandinavian countries are the happiest in the world, but won’t believe that the incremental policy changes we implement here have any effect 🤷‍♂️

Haven’t seen the movie yet (guess I’ll have to now), but I imagine it’s a good pairing with this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7193362/

His point is there is no one protocol for the social web. The (open) social web is built on a pluriverse of protocols, like rss, email, irc, matrix, activitypub, atproto…

One thing that seems to go unappreciated in the comments is the simplicity of this interop proposal: It is essentially about enabling quote-posting of link-aggregator(Groups) posts.

Bluesky + Frontpage will work this way, and I believe it’ll work exceedingly well. If the ap-net corner of the fediverse isn’t interested in this kind of interop, fair enough. To me however the promise of seamless interop between my social apps was what brought me to the fediverse, so that’s the version of the fediverse I will pursue.

Take this🏅

Suddenly every comic post I’ve seen has source links included now!

Maybe it was already a more common practice than I realized, but it sure looks like the fediverse hivemind took my simple bit of feedback to heart and promptly began acting accordingly. I love it here 🥰

What you want is Group-to-Group Following, which obviates the need for most cross-posting altogether.

Something a bit similar to what lemmit is already doing, but more powerful with your addition of comments: read-only, best-of archives of really old content from popular subs.

10-5 year old askreddit posts for instance would be interesting blasts from the past to read today. Isn’t there already a ‘best of Reddit’ convention on Reddit itself that resurfaces such content from time to time?

Sounds like the sort of thing Cory Doctorow would write.

Oh, thanks! I must have followed a gift link via Doctorow’s social because I didn’t encounter the paywall.

Most of the people who organize on SocialHub use this Matrix space to discuss fediverse development:

Maybe we could get everyone in here instead? They’re eager to decentralize the ownership of the org, so representatives from the Lemmy community would be very welcome to step into leadership roles.
