@iftas hello, I am a blind Fediverse user and I could not fill in the survey about moderation because the form builder you used is not completely accessible -radio buttons aren't screen reader friendly-. It's a contraddiction, working to improve an open environment like Fediverse, cutting some people off. #11y #ccessibility #blind #disability #fediverse

mat@friendica.exon.name I am not opposed to a category discussing alternatives protocols.

@mcc @alter_kaker "I would join the Bluesky API Touchers discord"

But... why are they not using... no OK never mind.

I'm so glad for this thread! I've had a bazillion questions about AT but nowhere to ask them. I really think there should be an "other protocols" channel on activitypub.space though. This is not "Technical discussion about ActivityPub-related topics" and sooner or later someone's gonna get angry at us.

Proton sospende account di giornalisti: la linea sottile tra ToS e protezione dei whistleblower

@lrhodes @mcc @alter_kaker @esoteric_programmer My understanding is that relays have a "replay since timestamp X" functionality, so that consumers that go down for a while can get back up and running. Originally relays by definition had to support any X back to the beginning of time, leading to absurd storage costs. Today they are allowed to have a much shorter window, meaning in effect the storage cost is insignificant and it's the network cost that dominates. Unless I'm mistaken, the canonical store of a user's posting history is and always was the PDS.

@mcc @alter_kaker @esoteric_programmer I think the key point is: "Every Bluesky replica is, probably without realizing it, making a bet that Bluesky has already plateaued." This is a worthwhile experiment, as long as you can pull the plug at a moment's notice and lose nothing.

@bhasic @benroyce @swetland @mcc @aeva

Yup. And get very defensive defending the charlatan.

@mcc Look, Bluesky has some nice advantages over the fediverse, mainly that it's not confusing at all because it gets to the point of just being old Twitter.

Federation is not their strong point and will never be, whether we like it or not, if you want federation and multiple communities, Activitypub is by far the best option.
