@andrearennick @chris completely naive, and that's putting it charitably.

@andrearennick @chris This is the thing that's annoying me about the current debate, specifically the pro-Meta side. I get that on a per-instance level, some are going to federate while others not. But the pro-federation side seems to be completely ignoring that the communities pre-emptively blocking have absolutely valid concerns. Also that whole "Maybe we can convince people to leave Meta's federated thing and join real? federated things" take is +

@juliana bookshop.org I think will show you sellers that are DRM free.

In reply to @queenslight.

@queenslight No that's a this is what ActivityPub calls them thing.

In reply to @charvor.

@charvor Not on this end.

In reply to @jcsteh.

@jcsteh Oh man that's rough, I hope everything has settled down and that everything got cleaned up.

In reply to @ericmann.

@ericmann There's already an existing AP plugin, but it doesn't federate comments. It will however bring responses back in. Might be worth at least looking at that one to see how it can be improved upon. But in the end more AP implementation plugins are good. God knows we have enough slider plugins.

@philliesfan4 God I haven't played that game in years.

In reply to @wesderby.

@wesderby The trial is two weeks I think, but honestly it's worth the price.

@Kataphract No problem. I kind of posted my original post without thinking and then went off to do other stuff/get some sleep lol.

@Kataphract Yeah there's stuff like that I think but I don't have any names offhand as I'm just waking up. Can I look it up and get back to you on that?

@Kataphract I don't think anyone's done that at scale, because to do it correctly someone would need to also add support for some other protocols to cover projects like Hometown and Gnu Social. But devs are talking about essentially an ActivyPub client that just handles everything, like Friendica and Peertube and Funkwhale ETC instead of just a Mastodon app.

@Kataphract And, if, for example, there's a feature you really miss that Mastodon doesn't have, you can move to something that does have it and keep your followers/followings. For example, quote posts. Half my damn social graph is not-Mastodon. And I think Pixelfed has implemented import from Instagram although I haven't tested it yet since I don't do much Instagram.

@Kataphract Things might display a little differently, but because they're all using the same protocol, in this case ActivityPub, they can all communicate back and forth.

@Kataphract From your Mastodon instance's website, (not sure which client you're using), you can search for a user or a magazine, or drop a URL of a post from same, and reply or like or boost or follow. Once you've followed a user or magazine you'll get their posts in your home timeline and you can interact from there.

@Kataphract Yes.

@Kataphract all those kinds of servers. This is not an exhaustive list: There's Funkwhale for music-sharing, Bookwyrm for books, and you can follow-interact with people using those bits regardless of where you are yourself. There are also websites running WordPress for example that you can also interact with.

@Kataphract Not sure I'd classify it so much as different servers based on different topics. It's more like: You can join a server, running one piece of software, and talk to other people on other servers running other pieces of software. So, let's say you're on a Mastodon server, but you have friends on a Lemmy or Calkey or Miskey or KBin server. All of you can talk to each other and follow each other's posts, lists, communities, and you don't all have to have separate accounts for +

@whalecoiner @danhon @Meyerweb Oh wait, OK that could be bad.

In reply to @whalecoiner.

@whalecoiner @danhon @Meyerweb Which is why you should just set it on fire.
