You mean, like this? :P

Wasm is the stack created by the Wasm architecture spec and its instructions, an interpreter for that (think VM), and whatever language you are compiling into Web Assembly (js, go, rust, python, c#...). More and more languages are gaining support to compile them to Wasm (the same way they can be compiled to amd64, arm architecture, etc).

It's like comparing apples with a grocery store. Also, yes Wasm is better!

Our content will be drowned by the amount of content a mainstream Meta can output.

And if you would like for users to notice the free fediverse among that content, they would need to ignore all Meta/commercial communities. That's not practical. It also amounts to defederating with Meta, which is practical, and what is suggested anyways. If people are curious about the free fediverse they will hear about it and find it.

I feel like I'm a release candidate myself.

it's complex to make dozens of technologies work together under an umbrella (Matrix). Particularly when those technologies have a vetted interest in not being interoperable.

There are companies that provide an offering with Matrix, e.g https://www.beeper.com

have you read https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html? If/when you read it, I would be curious on how it changed your view in the topic. Or why it didn't.

The fediverse is a tool of freedom, morals, ethics, for those that want to be connected, something that no commercial entity will offer. And it’s ok for it to not grow at all costs, or be the widespread available platform. It just needs to be present and faithful to itself.

I mentioned it 3 times in this last day since I read it! Maybe it is spreading.

I do it because I think it is the most important point on the fediverse.

Rocket.chat started using the Matrix protocol and became federated on June last year, so you can use both ;)

This is an incredible read on why Threads federating is bad news: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

I typed b i t c h. It sucks that it got censored. It maybe depends on the community mods (I hope) or the instance..

It will not matter if it is open source but it is backed into the HW. You will be their removed anyways with no way to change it.

That's not enough. They have a power that we can't match.

I can recommend this incredible read: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Fun fact, FB Messenger used to be based on the federated network XMPP. The same way that Google Messages was.

Both Google and Facebook made sure to Embrace Extended Extinguish XMPP. I was there. At some point I could talk from my Gnome contacts to both, it was incredible.

Don't forget that. Don't federate with Threads. There's no room for corporations in the fediverse.

That's lemmygrad.ml, not lemmy.ml. Don't confuse things.

Also, I would take an alive fediverse and some communities I can ignore and not subscribe to than a dead fediverse in the hands of the corporations. See what Google did to XMPP. See reddit. See twitter. See threads..

Edit: this is an incredibly good read https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

https://lemmy.ml They defederated from Threads, as everyone should do. I was there to see how Google fucked up XMPP via EEE when they joined that federation. Meta is doing the same.

I moved to lemmy.ml from lemmy.world when lemmy.world didn't act on this. There's no room for corporations in the fediverse.

some connectors are designed to break easily. RG59 would not break, the device would break. Hence why one finds in middle connections.

Newbies don't need that when starting, and at least they will have a solid ground to work with.
