@ErickaSimone @hallvors ouch!

@ErickaSimone @hallvors okay, your turn to tell us a story :)

@hallvors @ErickaSimone When my kid was young, I was playing tag with them in a dinosaur-themed play area. I executed a flawless vault over a triceratops to escape, but well I guess it wasn't technically flawless because I rolled my ankle so hard that I pulled a ligament off the bone (for the second time)

@ErickaSimone I don't have a favorite dinosaur, but I have a least favorite one. A triceratops broke my ankle, true story

y'all, I am so, so good at breaking things, you don't even know

@rachel @mttaggart now they're all "we can be evil, it's fine, what are you going to do about it at this point"

@thisismissem @mastodonmigration @baralheia @cwebber

I would argue that neither the AP nor activitypub are built directly for patterns of human communication that exist in the real world.

The "everyone messages everyone else and must have access to any message from anyone at any time" pattern embodied by the present Bluesky is not a real human way of communicating and forming communities, it is a figment of tech companies' imaginations and represents a massive amount of over-indexing that relies on, and therefore tends towards, centralized platforms.

The "everyone preferentially messages people in their nearby vicinity but sometimes people further away" view embodied by most present Fediverse software assumes a flat social network in which "non-local" is functionally the same in all cases and does not model human social networks very well.

AP assumes you are building bunch of villages with a flat road network between them. atproto assumes you are building Saudi Arabia's The Line.

@botvolution @DamonWakes I built a whole crawler: https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/fetch-nodeinfo-bot.html ... and release a lot of data from it, including each crawl: https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/data/

@stefan Cool, will try to remember to do it :)

@botvolution @DamonWakes This is the number of active accounts, I update them daily

@stefan Thanks! I have this idea to make a sort of a "skyline" for the Fediverse using the same data, with buildings representing the major servers

@mastodonmigration you might like this 👆

@georgebaily Great, I'm glad you like it!

@dougwade Oops! should be fixed.

@dave @ljrk There is, Friendica, however, it has not taken off in the same way - I don't know why since I haven't used it

@draNgNon it's all relative, I guess, I'm sure there are people for who El Paso is the Big City too

@lukyan there are so so many small ones, the list I'm using cuts off at 500 to avoid being too gigantic

@DamonWakes hmm, I've tried searching for the same server and I'm getting more global results (a city in Japan) so I'm not sure what's going on here. I did have some bugs related to searching earlier so it seems quite possible I didn't squash them all

@emily_s yeah that was how I originally built it, but it ended up with a lot of cities that are probably not as globally well known so I decided to make the scaling the default

@DamonWakes hmmm... I assume this is after doing multiple searches, or is it on initial page load? Look like something isn't get cleared out properly
