@p Not yet, we haven’t worked on activitypub since last we spoke. Got video channels done and bunch of misc items. Next up live streaming.

@derek Nostr is probably easier but it's not as useful as doing fedi. Bridging to Nostr doesn't seem to provide much value, but since there is a fedi bridge, you can talk to that network once you have ActivityPub.

@p Yeah, people want live streaming and most hate fediverse. I will definitely do it but no one else seems to care. all the based right wingers went right back to twitter first chance they got and use rumble or odyssey but only if youtube boots them. No one really cares about interoperability except purists. Average content creator wants to make money above all else, average internet user wants to be entertained and get through the day without deleting. No one really cares.

@derek > most hate fediverseSample set bias. Everyone on fedi loves fedi, people not on fedi tend not to like it. I figure you're probably going to be pulling a lot of people from Gab, which created a minor disaster on both sides (maybe a major one on their side) when it started federating.> all the based right wingers went right back to twitterThey can't be based if they went back there. People that care who the overlord is are not the same people that care whether or not there's an overlord. If they're siphoning juice out of a dying content farm, it's because they care about ~*~mUh ExPosUrE~*~ThE AuDiEnCe~*~. Elon's Elon, he's fine, but I wouldn't like for him to decide anything on my behalf.> No one really cares about interoperability except purists.I don't think it's a surprise to anyone that the majority of people don't care how something works. They follow other people around. If, on Day One, you had the option of getting Tucker Carlson on your platform or getting a hundred thousand suburban parents, which do you pick? If you want to drive adoption and you think about Day Two, then you realize one of those matters a great deal more.> Average content creator wants to make money above all else, average internet user wants to be entertained and get through the day without deleting. No one really cares.You cannot skip steps in the adoption curve. Nobody cares about the new thing until everyone cares. Gab's mistake is they tried to start in the middle: this is a common mistake and it guarantees stagnation. If you're worrying about the average $whatever, then you're skipping a few steps. Fedi was all nerds, then it was nerds and geeks, now it's gradually absorbing normies that don't know or care what it is and how it works.adoptioncurve2.pngadoptioncurve.jpe

@p Sample set bias.A lot of the people have tried fedi but just can’t stomach the loli weirdos and tranny porn and freaks that inevitably show up in the feeds. Gab only has a couple thousand real people, always did and dont much care about any of them. I just want to be a professional social, and actually make alt to big tech. New twitter CEO should do the marketing for me. They can’t be based if they went back there.I think they can be but hard for me to respect. They just think it is essential to reach the masses no matter what and that is where the masses are. They aren’t entirely wrong but short sighted. However, maybe this election cycle really is last chance and if we lose it all goes away, fedi and all. Very few people in fedi that matter so in their minds it isn’t worth using. I will try to build something great and connect with fedi.

@JonnyFever @p hard to mute loli. a lot of comes from good instances. FSE has its fair share of weirdness. poa. st, is mostly weirdos, etc etc. fedi is in reality very small.

@derek @JonnyFever Fedi passed 10m accounts recently, and is pretty close to passing 1b posts. (988,102,448 total posts right now.)

@JonnyFever @derek Well, it's not small. But Elon taking over Twitter did result in 1k servers springing up in a single day. The Elon Bump is visible: http://demo.fedilist.com/

@p @JonnyFever the people who left because of twitter are leftists and most of them already left when found out what fediverse is about, especially, with the new leftist CEO at twitter. The twitter management, jack dorsey pushing nostr and or bluesky etc are all attempts to keep real competitors building and unfunded. Twitter will be banning again during next election cycle. You’re preaching to the choir. I’m big fan of decentralization and will be connecting to the fediverse but just can’t afford to do everything.

@derek @JonnyFever Thanks, I just tweak it a little here and there. Like it's never been top of the list of priorities but I usually start the day with a warm-up hack and sometimes it's a tweak to that site....But this reply won't get to you because, according to http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/gorf.pub , "Last successful contact: 2023-05-16 (11.5 hours ago)". This bit I'm actually pretty pleased with, the page for status changes has an RSS feed: http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/recent-changes?host=gorf.pub . It makes it easier to keep tabs, you can see when they go down, like I've put FSE and screamshitter.club into my RSS reader.
