I don't know how popular that would be. Want me to make one?

Years of terrible news headlines and fraud stories have made me allergic to hearing . Looking into it now, I can't believe what I've been missing!

Just launched a first draft of our website with a little info about what we're cooking: bonfire.cafe

TL;DR: Bonfire will be:

1. a pre-configured device
2. a fediverse identity hosted service (which syncs between the fediverse and the device whenever it comes online)
3. apps (web apps but they run on the device instead of the cloud)

I've been drafting a blog post on "emacsification", or the convolution/unification/sigularity of user interfaces, and my own wishes.

This has put a greasy, foot long spanner in the works.

Tested negative for Corona twice. But a cold or dry cough lasts max 2 weeks. And idk how reliable the tests are or if I used them improperly.

The fear comes from the prospect of a cold + corona + no hospital to go to. My local GP is under quarantine.

So I've been informed there's been a corona case in the workplace where a close family member works (care home).

And I've had a persistent, dreadful, undiagnosed cough for over a month, with a poor prospect of hospitalisation.

Our caution can only do so much at this point.

So... will 2021 be my last? It feels plausible and near, and I don't like it.

:/

Nice solution. Beats mine where I just link the post (my no-JavaScript policy).

This has always been my biggest worry. Mastodon is especially notorious for not just keeping control away from the end user, but also gaslighting said user.

Instead of a message saying "Communication with this server isn't possible because of a block on this server.", it just pretends people don't exist.

@r000t @r @alex @torresjrjr Yeah, the users and the other admins. I remember the witches.live admin doing that lengthy freakout, "PLEROMA ALLOWS FASCISTS TO CONDUCT PASSIVE SURVEILLANCE" because she thought that if she blocked FSE, FSE would somehow know this and stop fetching posts. Gargulon actually argued against disclosing server blocks and kept them out for a long time (allegedly because this would "enable harassment") but it just means that nobody knows if they've been blocked, especially not the server in question.

> Ideally everyone would have their own instance, and federate as they wish.

This is the goal of cofespace.com, I want to push the ratio of users to admins as close to 1 as possible.

> Obviously there's a huge barrier and cost to that

Handshake problem, sure, but it's doable. The protocol might have to change to scale that up. (It's got to change to scale up anyway.) The problem is, as Alex noted, the P2P solutions aren't ready yet. (I've used twister.net.co, very cool but somewhat heavyweight; it's almost as involved as running Pleroma yourself. It's pretty quiet there, too: this is where the party is right now.)

I've got a project I'm hacking on intermittently that fixes the handshake problem but it'll be a minute, it's not top of the list.

> The cost per freedom goes up for massive instances

I'm not sure what this means.

@p @r @alex
Great to hear of those efforts. This is definitely a community effort and I'm eager to contribute.

> > The cost of freedom goes up for massive instances.
> I'm not sure what that means.

I meant that if you sacrifice some freedom and entrust your account to a bigger instance, the cost is greater because admins are more distant, their administrative desicions are more detached and less accountable, etc.
