Sorry for the harshness @mobilizon but wipes the floor with :-[] it even beats Mobilizon at federated identity using good old e-mail. There is something to be said for designing for human interaction, instead of fussing over misusing the shiny new ActivityPub protocol bottle created originally for mailing lists wine.

Lament on auth in the Fediverse 

I want to read from and post to communities from my account. I need to register on every Lemmy instance of interest? I know is flexible and Mastodon uses a different "profile" of it than Lemmy. But I can't post a basic note to Lemmy from Mastodon? What use is ActivityPub, given that this situation is no better than posting from Mastodon to Wordpress?

It doesn't seem to count that /#Zot got all this right ages ago with . If Lemmy instances and Wordpress instances and Mastodon instances were Hubzilla/#Zap instances, it would just work.

Some folks: if we just let billionaires get as powerful as they can, they will save the world.

Billionaires: *fuck off to Mars with indentured servants after strip-mining the planet*

@neil There are many Firefox forks which would address these issues such as LibreWolf, GNU Icecat, etc.

But the main issue that one needs to consider is the monopoly of Chromium in the web space. Ditching Firefox for a Chromium-based browser only makes this worse, regardless of the one you choose.

The Chromium monopoly gives Google near-total control over web standards, decreases incentives for cross-browser support (e.g, Skype only works on Chromium-based browsers) and would ultimately leave Google as your last-man-standing with ultimate reign over the web. Not really an ideal scenario, is it?

While these Chromium-based browsers may be ungoogled, hardened and have nice slick UIs etc., switching to them will result in a huge net-loss for everyone in the long term.

In Estonia, a mom is visiting the zoo with her kid. Next to them stands a man who is drinking beer.

They are standing next to a crocodile pool.

The kid falls into the pool. Guy drops his beer and immediately jumps into the water and saves the boy.

Mom says "You're such a brave Estonian man! Thank you for saving my son!"

Guy says "I'm not Estonian, I'm actually Russian!"

Headline in the news the next day: "Drunk Russian steals crocodile's lunch!"

@TheGibson
I've been taking a look at the new EU feeds, and boosting some relevant ones because this is a pilot. It's important for us on here to boost and engage with the accounts. So if folks have health and environmental, political interest in the EU, please follow and boost/engage with the posts.

Because it's a pretty big deal and people like @how, @humanetech, @cwebber and @NGIZero worked hard to get the commission to consider being on Mastodon

Superstition, data collection, metadata 

With folklore, folks used to be cautious about what to do with hair and nail clippings. As those could give a witch or sorcerer power over you.

We have this now with our electronic clippings, we give our clippings to social networks and that gives a whole heap of power to them and to the buyers of that data who can then analyse it.

There's an analogy for you. 😏

@Hyolobrika because I'm not a fan of pinging half a dozen people I don't know. I was replying to your post, so I kept you tagged in my reply. Why is it a problem if I don't tag these other people?

XMPP adoption and the Quicksy brand
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Quicksy leverages the comfort of using phone numbers as an XMPP ID. Conversations et al supports the intended flexibility in choosing service providers.

Would it help adoption if the brand was used for the latter purpose too? Rebrand Conversations to, say, Quicksy-Fedi?

@kev I guess many of us have some kind of server, even if it is just a rasPi. Is this somehow useful? I'd be more than happy to support fosstodon with my Pi(s).

@mike @kev I have never actually said it so, thank you both for this marvelous work, I have discovered an amazing number of things I wouldn't have found otherwise. I truly believe FOSS grows faster because of this platform, and it's all on you.

If you’re #newhere and on a small/solo instance, the usual tips to find people to follow won’t help as much. Hashtag searches will yield few or no results, and your local and federated timelines may be empty.

My solution was to stop looking for *people* to follow and look for *instances* hosting communities I’d like to be a part of. Then, I’d follow the admin of that instance, and they consistently signal boost people who interest me. In less than a day, I had a timeline that was active.
