ubrowser? Looks like there is a package for ActivityPub, not sure if lemmy has integrated by default the Mastodon API necessary to use it or if someone will have to hack something together on your instance. https://codeberg.org/martianh/mastodon.el

I think we found the guy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urcL86UpqZc

Why the downvotes?

Yeah that doesn't work when you live in a rural area.

It's as anonymous as you are willing to be, vpn (through a vpn) over i2p, or clear text, it's up to you.

This is the way

It's called sharing, not stealing, my brother in Christ. ;-

I wish I could give you 100 upvotes

I really like the idea of openvibe, but every time I have tried to use it my whole phone crashes.

Reminds me of when Google Talk first rolled out as a service that utilized XMPP/Jabber, and then by the time their users made up like 90% of the xmpp comm unity, they stopped using the protocol, made it not interoperable with anything else, all but killed XMPP, turned Google Talk into Google Hangouts, than Google Duo, and I'm not sure where it ended but it too is a shell of its former self.

I think they like to flaunt the OSS card, not so much into the FL part. ;-)

yes. I really wish we could establish a relay that didn't allow bitcoinbois so folks could choose to only connect to that relay.

naw, Bluesky users have already turned down mastodon. Lets pick another one they haven't heard of yet Bluesky->Misskey

Or you could do all of the above ->Nostr

do you know how long between first release "open sourcing" occured? It looks like the current version of Pixelfed is published under the AGPL which is a strong Free Software licesne that all but requires an online open source development model in additon to protection of the four esssential freedoms.

The use license on https://loops.video/legal/terms-of-service appears to actually violate all four of the essetntial freedoms.

I agree it woudl be a big ask even if the platforms could support it. I don't precieve anytime that it would even be a good idea to directly encourage such behavior. The #twittermigration and #redditmigration where natural occurences that hit the 'verse hard. I believe they were a net good for ActivityPub and Free Software as a whole, but for many users the hiccups at that time where enough to sour them to "decentralization."

Apparently its from a group called the Insitutie for Network Cultures, which at least looks like its been around since the earliest days of what we used to call decentralized microblogging https://networkcultures.org/geert/2025/01/30/join-global-switch-day-on-february-1st-2025/.

Reminds me a lot of leftists who speak of "when the revolution comes" for decades and never even try to organize their workplace.

What devs would ever consider such a clearly bad idea?

None that have any experience whatsoever. Maybe a college intern with more ideals than smarts.

dont' be a pendantic grammar commie.

I think INS said it best

Of course, the corpo-silos are attuned to the phenomenon, trying to adapt their marketing lingo with cool buzz words like “Federated”, “Decentralized” and so on… Some nerds who fell for it jumped from one corporate hell-hole into another, are asking us to give them 30 million dollares americanos. This amount is needed to add “fire exits” to bluesky (AKA, to decentralize it). You know, in case the silo turns out to be ehm… well another silo. After all, we can’t just use anything to talk to each other: It has to have a je ne sais quoi of sex-appeal!
