    Salut et adelphité #camarades et #sallesconnes de la #fediverse et du #mastodon Tandis que notre PM est d'avis que ne pas être d'accord avec lui c'est sabotage, petit à petit on s'achemine vers le retour des bonnes vieilles habitudes royales de la 5e république, ordonnances, décrets ou 49.3.Aaaaah, on se sent tout de suite mieux quand on retrouve ses charentaises, sa pipe et son journal.Allez, j'ai pas que ça à faire.On a à vivre pour de vrai et s'aimer, nom de dieu !🤗 ✊ 🥰 🤗 ✊ 🥰 🤗 ✊ 🥰

    @bbatsov cool boys (actually myself only) now rant about Bulgarian politics on feddit. In the process of being bridged to bluesky as we speak.As my comment shows, I'm also overly excited about all things fediverse.

    I think I have identified a fairly significant flaw in how the #Fediverse currently operates. Hear me out.The Fediverse currently consists of all sorts of different systems - #Mastodon, #Friendica , #Pixelfed , #PeerTube, #BookWyrm , and so forth. And while they are all connected via the #ActivityPub protocol, they all have different functionalities and different ways of presenting themselves. Which is as it should be, because Diversity Is Our Strength(TM).However, it is here that the ActivityPub-based interactivity hits its limits - for usually, you can either experience the relevant system as it was intended, or you can interact with it, but not both - _unless_ you have an account on the same system (though not necessarily on the same instance).Let's say that you are a Mastodon user who looks at another person's BookWyrm page. You scroll through their books, posts, and comments. Then you see some comment you want to comment on yourself, but can you do so?Not directly. You need to figure out the URL of their comment, and then copy and paste that comment into the search bar of your Mastodon instance. Then it will show up in the same format as a Mastodon post, and you can interact with it - boost it, like it, comment on it.Sure, it works, but it's a whole lot of tedious effort.Or you can search for the user account in Mastodon and scroll through all their posts and comments as if they were a Mastodon user - and thus, you will miss out on all the unique user interface features of BookWyrm.So what is missing?Well, Mastodon already has an "Open original page" feature when looking at someone's post. What we need is an "Open original page AND AUTHENTICATE" feature. This way, the target instance (whatever software they are using) could acknowledge the viewer as an external user who could nevertheless fully interact with the local user interface, including the ability to boost, like, and make comments.This is something that should be theoretically possible to implement, right? #FediHelp

    The BSD Cafe instances have just been updated to Mastodon v4.5.0. There was a bit of a slowdown as the secondary instance went smoothly (but it's underpowered), while the primary one took longer because I had to update Node. But we're there! Among the main new features: quote posts and other things, like the remote fetching of replies - which I had, however, already enabled on v4.4.x in recent weeks. Enjoy!#Mastodon #BSDCafe #BSDCafeServices #BSDCafeUpdates #BSDCafeAnnouncements
