"There's too much uniformity in spaces today" - Let's bring back personal expression to profiles, MySpace, GeoCities, etc. for everyone.
Sites long ago were more specific - communities for people that like anime or a specific tv show or carrots, whatever. Forums can provide that experience again, especially federated ones.
Right now, our communities are bland and uniform - Facebook Groups, Instagram, etc. - very little room for personal expression or customization.

NodeBB distributing content into the fediverse, leveraging the existing structure that exists - microblogging.

@box464 Specialization wasnāt aesthetic. It was infrastructural. Smaller forums worked because friction selected for intent, and intent stabilized norms. Large platforms optimize for scale, not texture. Uniformity isnāt accidental, itās how you make moderation, advertising, and behavioral prediction tractable. The question isnāt customization. Itās who controls the rails and the data exhaust.

Learning some of the secret backend sauce of NodeBB. It uses a relay - FediBuzz - to pull content from specific hashtags into its federated forums.
I knew that when I tagged #ActivityPub it ended up showing in activitypub.space, now I know how!

There are some limitations here - these hashtags aren't always the best, you must choose carefully to reduce Signal to Noise ratio. Lots of people use the Fediverse tag and much is not related to the development of ActivityPub.

Ownership and wide reach - you can have both with the Open Social web. Cross posting is the default today, repackaging your message to fit the requirements of the platform itself. It doesn't have to be.

Digital Spaces and AI
Misspellings and bad grammar are now indicators of human generated discussions (this is so true, I check exactly the same thing, and thank goodness I have naturally bad typing and grammar)
"Authenticity of human interaction is what matters".

Callout to #GoToSocial from Julian about interaction controls. So true - these types of changes are faster to implement on smaller platforms. Mastodon and other large platforms can then take these ideas and incorporate them as they get fleshed out and tested.

Audience member is commenting how discussion forums can be more legible and personable. With more of a relationship being created between members than you would see in a microblogging platform.
Agreed. It's the difference between a local coffee shop and standing at the corner in Time Square and trying to talk to someone.

AI discussion going on. Julian: "No AI coding in NodeBB".
Julian lets out a big sigh, and perhaps an internal UGH with me sighing and UGHing almost in unison, lol.
It's a huge, complicated discussion, and one that the fediverse community is largely unwilling to discuss right now without a lot of screaming and finger pointing. Because, it's truly scary, especially to the tech world. Me included.

So true - mainstream socials is more about connecting to brands and being entertained by those brands. Less about making true connections with people.

Up next - @fedihost discussing Canadian Civil and how they used fediverse tools to build a funding platform - quickly! A peer tube instance.

YouTube adware is by far the largest funding offering for video content creators. But Patreon isn't far behind when you looked at Canadian Civil's audience specifically.

So far, not much interest from Patreon to do this. Should we setup an alternative? Some already exist.
And some have come and gone, like SubClub.

Hey y'all stepping away for lunch (so it FediMTL) and I'll be back in about an hour.
Be sure to check out the #FediMTL hashtag and the FediWall, too.

@mos_8502 that can backfire. It'll invent bugs if there aren't any to find. Somebody blogged about prompting "improve the quality of the code in this project" over and over, and it ended up adding hundreds of thousands of lines of code. It doesn't know how to say "no" or "I don't know". Gotta be specific. "Check for common security bugs" is probably not dangerous, but I'd still feel better about telling it to use all available static analysis tools to find common security bugs.

I saw this image all day long. Although the place was not the most cheerful, it gave me serenity and peace.
Sometimes it really takes very little to make a big difference.

Aggiornamenti sulla #limatrice (vi mancavano, eh?).
Ho risolto l'inguacchio dell'avanzamento tavola.
Nella foto in https://mastodon.cisti.org/@GustavinoBevilacqua/116109639675080635 si vede l'ingranaggio sull'avanzamento X, come la maggior parte delle macchine su Youtube.
Il coso fatto a ancora capovolta invece deve andare sull'ingranaggio dell'asse Z, che ho levato pensando non servisseā¦ e invece serviva š¤¬
Ah, le boccole sono tutte di misura diversa (grande fiducia dei dirigenti negli skill delle maestranze all'assemblaggio).

I guess that is one way to put it.
