It's a great opportunity for #pixelfed to add #group support, so those sharing their videos can share it directly to a community/magazine reaching to a wider audience. Same for #loops. Obviously, not at the moment, where everyone is trying to keep things up and running. @dansup@mastodon.social
I hate the fact that those posts are not an Article in the #activitypub object. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them do that because of Mastodon utterly inability to render other #activitypub objects other than a Note.
I don't agree, this actually a good opportunity for #pixelfed to support #groups so people who want their post to reach a larger audience can choose a magazine/community to post.
They are microblogging services, so yeah, I don't see any feature that cannot be translated to the UI.
I find it easy, but for other's that's not the case.
The level of engagement can be hard to get on a decentralized service in a network that suffers from fragmentation. Besides, the way the developers of Mastodon (and other services) built their software was by in fact not federating things like likes to other instances, making it so that the level of interaction yoi see form a remote server is not actually the correct one.
I think you misunderstood what I'm referring to. The bluesky app is open source and it has the same UI as twitter, basically. I'm talking about forking the project to make it compatible with Mastodon.
Yeah, that would be dope. An average user probably won't use it, though. But having the option is great, and for user who don't opt in for self-hosting probably an option to export their algorithm data would be cool, for things like changing instances.
That is a fair point, but I've seen @dansup@mastodon.social talking about what he plans to do about the algorithm to keep privacy-friendly. If I'm not wrong, I recall something along the lines of having the option to self-host your own algorithm recommendation.
That is a fair point, and I don't have the answer. Maybe use technics that @peertube@framapiaf.org uses like torrenting (or another way of decentralized storage), I guess you could use a cdn/object bucket?
I haven't developed anything with #ActivityPub, but have read a little bit of the spec. I would love to hear the take from developers making use of it.
No way! Now I'm afraid for the future of #Android. Never trust these companies.
