    so, this is a bit of an abstract mathematical post. I think that a fediverse service consists mostly of three parts: identity provider, data hoster, and feed provider. The data hoster is the machine that hosts the posts and comments and upvote/downvote stats. The feed provider is the service which gives you a nice, scrollable overview over new content for you. This is today the same system that provides the data, but it could be separated, such as having a custom "search engine" that gives you content, that you use independently of where the data is stored. The identity provider basically only makes a proof that "you are you" : you give it your login credentials and it gives you a kind of token that authenticates (proves your identity) to other services. like, i'm on discuss.tchncs.de, but i can post to lemmy.world. this is because the discuss.tchncs.de server says to lemmy.world that i indeed have this account on this server. so they prove my identity in a way. What i argue now is that such an identity providing server is not technically necessary. You could use something like an ~/.ssh/id_rsa file that you generate on your own computer and use that public key to identify yourself on the fediverse. I don't think that this approach has any inherent advantages over how things are being done today, but it could be done that way and that in itself is fascinating. :D

    Dearest #Fediverse Hivemind We need your glitters and sparks. It's about water and empowering people / grassroots communities.We are urgently seeking cuvettes as donations, or at very low prices, for our #OpenHardware spectrometer in order to continue our R&D and, above all, to analyze water wherever we can.We are convinced that somewhere in this network of networks of wonderful people, someone knows someone who has a bag of infrared spectro cuvettes under a desk/in a lab.Then training people and groups, investigating issues, reporting with journalists, so on and so forth.We would like to avoid using polluting mass transportation across the globe; we would like to create meaningful connections that foster conviviality.It's infra-red spectro https://www.gaudi.ch/GaudiLabs/?page_id=1124https://forum.hack2o.eu/t/diy-spectrometry-on-a-tap-water-sample/46https://forum.hack2o.eu/t/combiner-spectrometrie-et-bioessais-dans-nos-analyses-des-eaux/344/2 #Help #FediHelp #WaterIsLife

    Polls are rendering!screenshot of the latest emoji poll rendered on the ktistec serverI'm working to get all of the little visual elements available across the Fediverse to render in a usable way on Ktistec. When released, users will also be able to vote on polls.#ktistec #activitypub #fediverse

    Was reading one of my favorite articles again and then discovered, again, that @rysiek wrote it!

    @WeirdWriter @rysiek These two paragraphs struck me in particular:> That’s in stark contrast to, say, Google+, which despite corporate backing, incomparably larger budget, and being pushed down people’s throats through forced integration with YouTube, survived mere seven years, nine months, and a week.Because unfortunately Google probably doesn't see that as a problem. Or even as the Fedi winning. For them, longetivity doesn't matter, but peak user count.> And once it shut down, it shut down. A social network of millions just blipped out of existence one day. All those moments – lost in time, like tears in rain.This, too, for them is a good thing. No-one else can profit from "their" data.This just makes it so crystal clear how the big one's interests aren't aligned with ours. Google+ wasn't really failing in their book, it had served its purpose and then ceased to do so. To us, this is loss. To Google this is just business.
