Ça bouge bien côté Bluesky pour faire vivre le AT Protocol en dehors du contrôle de Bluesky !

Bluesky Won’t Save Us Like radiation, social media is invisible scientific effluence that leaves us both more knowledgeable and more ignorant of the causes of our own afflictions than ever

good read on How Threads will integrate with the #Fediverse

Avec le débarquement de Meta dans le fediverse, ce dernier s’organise pour bloquer (ou pas) Threads de la fédération, après un long débat qui est toujours en cours avec plusieurs factions portant des avis et des actes différents quand au suite à donner.

comme le Fedipact une minorité si on regarde.

Go F*** Yourself to Advertisers Boycotting X, I was looking for the next Xelon Mollusk meltdown, there we have it 😅

more growth for the Fediverse, Bluesky, Threads, is a good thing for the future of the internet.

pour celleux qui ont comme moi, un pied sur #mastodon et #bluesky, un client vraiment super sympa pour masto : phanpy.social ça peut s’installer comme une app sur votre smartphone ou desktop et être accessible comme n’importe quel applications !

Brid.gy Indieweb et Bluesky + Mastodon 🤩

Ça fait longtemps que je l’attendais pour refaire de mon Blog mon client principal pour poster sur les réseaux décentralisé !

En principe si tu répond à ce Post sur #Bluesky ou #Mastodon ta réponse devrait s’afficher comme commentaires sur mon blog !

Je remplis ce post depuis l’application mobile pour alimenter mon Blog et en principe ça devrait récupérer les commentaires sous ce Post !

Avec la fédération qui arrive sur Bluesky, l’avenir des réseaux sociaux décentralisé va devenir une norme !

WordPress.org blogs can now be part of the fediverse, this is big for ActivityPub!

All self-hosted WordPress could already do that by installing the ActivityPub plugin obviously 😍

Is the News Industry akin to a boiling frog in hot water?

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 18:03:35 +0100

Honestly when I read Nieman Lab Jay Rosen post about X axing the headlines and then acknowledging the industry is too much hooked to move out, I ponder and wonder if “the industry” isn’t completely masochistic & openly blind to what X is becoming, to what Musk has allowed and the complacency towards different of extremism, neofascism becoming part of a new normal that even the ones that are supposed to openly denounce it and fight against it, prefer to sit in the mud rather than to teach a lesson to Musk and just, walkout, move out to greener pasture or bluer skyes.

And fair enough, probably many of these journalists have given a try at Mastodon, Bluesky, Post, Threads and what not but the idea (to one I was myself convinced just a few months back, full disclosure) that Twitter is irreplaceable, that this is where things that happen, happen on Twitter or rather X is a falacy.

What makes the beat goes on, is us, we the people, not some lunatic with too much power, bad taste and literally stupid ideas given a platform to reinstate his neofascist friends no, what makes Twitter work, is us, its what we build on it, it’s the countless services and systems that we have built on top to make it where the beat goes on and as the fediverse and Bluesky and others have shown is that we can rebuild elsewhere, we must rebuild elsewhere.

Right now, there isn’t one single reason to stay on X.

X future is a cesspit of disinformation, memes, bullying and outright orgy of degeneration that is orchestrated by a man and a handful of other yes men’s that don’t have the bollocks to say : Elon, this is a bad idea, it will have this or this impact, it won’t create confidence, it will ultimately impact the platform and everything that made Twitter works for 17 years. Musk is surrounded by a bunch of loosy yes man’s and a CEO that could very well be a flower pot that it would be just about the same.

And I think, Journalits, News Organization, Political Parties, Businesses, everyone in the end, at least those with a functioning brain and empathy, we all have the responsibility to think about what we create and where we participate in the digital realm.

And X has decided to go rogue, against developers, organizations, individuals and anything that doesn’t bow to the Musk beat and that my friends, for someone that was born inside a cult organization, where crimes enfolded is a red alert, it’s full on red alert trigger.

it was already unforgivable when Musk took power, it is now a question of integrity, of ethics, of values and it’s a choice everyone, at its own pace will be confronted : how long can you sleep on a lane with literally nazis, far-right enablers, homophobes and Putin dogs in the same bed?

I have made my choice, this post is written on my blog and cross-posted in one shot to Bluesky, Mastodon and Nostr and if other players such as Pebble, Threads, Posts and what not played the open web game instead of their version of a everything app, the Web in 2023 wouldn’t be in such mess and news organizations wouldn’t be at the mercy of a billionaire fanatic swinging the degeneration of democracies “just to see where it leads” even if it is straight to neofascism.

Musk should have been kicked in the nuts much sooner, to even once in his life, be taught a lesson.

he wasn’t and now the descent to hell will just accelerate, because that’s the only doctrine he knows about : fail fast.

So, dear journalists, politicians, organizations, businesses, everyone still on X : what else do you need to understand and digest that you’re not on Twitter anymore?

That you have been taken over, dumped into X and that if you want a real-time environment to work with, it’s up to you to move it elsewhere, Bluesky, Mastodon, Pebble, at the end of the day, the choice you make of staying there while ignoring what it has become and what it will become is a free pass for Elon Musk and his swarm to keep going and be legitimized.

Twitter is dead, X is a dying meteor, you can eject and fly safely to another pod or you can choose to stay on a crashing meteor and document its death and be part of it.

The whole point of the #fediverse is to enable “mutual coexistence” on top of a protocol that everyone can build with. We don’t need to agree on everything & we won’t but we can speak & understand each other on the same layer. It’s beautiful ❤️

In many ways, issues of moderation (even basic ones) are way worst on Bluesky than on the fediverse, yes, for the simple reason that fediverse is powered by people, Bluesky has millions in store to treat itself with a proper T&S team and it choose not to. Repeatedly.

Damn,

ActivityPub + Solid = ActivityPod activitypods.org

This has a huge potential to streamline our abilities to use different fediverse apps with the same identity…

Tweetdeck will be behind bars in 30 days.

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 10:05:53 +0100

And now the veteran Tweetdeck is going behind Blue “Verified” jail in less than 30 days.. It’s really great how Musk keeps destroying #Twitter

More people for the fediverse, like it or not, but this has been the best catalyzer to move people away from big tech.

Yes Meta will retain some of the bleeding, it’s unavoidable! Better than Musk anyway. At this stage, everything should be done to empty Twitter.

The birdsite : how it’s going versus what’s coming to hunt the Mollusk nights.

The Fediverse will thrive just fine, people will take control the way they want but one thing is very clear, #Meta is coming to Mwitter self-suicide.

Tragic story, I’m still hurt, not because I didn’t find my own ways to build my feed reader (and have been using consistently ever since) but this story encapsulate the blindness of big tech better than anything else.

And 2 decades later, guess how I’m consuming the most out of Reddit and now Kbin/Lemmy and the fediverse? An RSS feed reader, that’s right!

Add to it a dash of webmentions and social reactions, without owning the social graph and you have probably the direction at which the open web is heading to, right now.

And this time, neither, Google, Facebook or Reddit or Twitter will be part of it, because they are blind but above all because people want something else.

And they want to define and own it.

Who killed Google Reader? Ten years after its untimely death, the team that built the much-beloved feed reader reflects on what went wrong and what could have been.

Fri, 23 Jun 2023 00:30:35 +0100

Thinking about Hacker News but sprinkled with #activitypub

imagine being able to reply and participate in any #HN post from the #fediverse and with #webmentions have fediverse comments mingled with native HN activity.

Nodebb Discourse + Lemmy #kbin and we shift the balance back in the open web.

So I have been cross-posting from my blog to Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr (granted I don’t have the same number of followers on each) but the point is : where I get the most interactions is on the #fediverse. This is written from my micro.blog blog.rmendes.net

Wishing I could use self-hosted ntfy.sh to have like a unified interface for notifications, no matter where they come from: Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, pixelfed

TLDR : the ability to route any fediverse social app notification’s to one single interface.

What ? the fediverse is too much? too many instances, identities or tools ? check this out!

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 16:41:00 +0100

Looking for a way to handle many different fediverse tools such as mastodon, lemmy/kbin, pixelfed and what not all from one single place : ferdium.org Use Ferdium custom sources and prep it to have these different tools accessible in one shot, it’s just much easier to manage the diversity of tools or instances you might want to try until you settle.
