what's a fossbro

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's someone who goes mad and doesn't shut up about foss when someone mentions proprietary software (like minecraft)
-
minecraft is closed-source? there are no open-source clones?

Honestly, I think Matrix would be a better fit and be actually useable. A good alternative would be XMPP. They both should work great for the use case, both are FOSS and federated.

there is no "use case" here

disgusting idea 🥰

Sometimes, u just need to be a little crazy to be a genius. Or u r just crazy.

I don't get it. What does it do?

Chat messages are received over activitypub. You post to a Minecraft server like you do Mastodon. You can also follow a user on the server and I assume their messages show up in your client.

Seems like Matrix would be more suited for that kind of chat based environment.

ok this is the type of FOSS software I live for
-
EXCELLENT 👏👏👏
Now make it so that players from other servers can interact in 3d
-
no

BungeeCord exists.

cool. sadly i find minecraft super boring

Vintage Story might be more your jam, especially if you've played & liked the old TerraFirmaCraft total conversion mod for MC, or its TerraFirmaPunk modpack. It's a lot more survival & progression focused.

Nice. We've had that idea in Luanti, but it didn't get accepted /merged.
i don't blame them honestly. there's no real point to having activitypub federation in a game beyond silly experiments like this. (the low latency needs of a game would absolutely require a different protocol at the very least, even if federation made sense which i doubt)
Agree. The idea of having a large, joined world is nice. Like having some portals or borders which lead to the next server... But it changes things and is difficult to implement and integrate into the world and gameplay mechanics. On the other hand Minetest/Luanti is great for tinkering. So it would fit there. It's just complicated. And we don't really "need" it. And the light version: just federating usernames or inventory doesn't do much for the gameplay.
