Look, I don't really care about preservatives and "chemicals" in my foods, but this hilarious.

I love being with people who are orders of magnitude smarter than I am.

When I was young, when I reposted things (retweet on Twitter, and Reblog on Tumblr, etc.), I reposted them because I enjoyed viewing that post.Nowadays, I would say 40% of the stuff that I repost, I repost because I was about to act like a "reply guy" to the author of the post.I guess my motivation for doing this is a form of substitution. That is, ditch my bad habit of being useless in someone's comment section, and instead give the author a little bit more exposure to someone who might be more suited at providing a useful response.

@freemoTrust me, my behaviour was not acceptable at all.Here's a silly example: someone makes a post asking for help with parsing JSON-LD. In spite of me having no idea what JSON-LD even is (back then), my response was naively to tell that person to "use a JSON parser". Not helpful at all, and makes me come off as an idiot.What's even more sad is that no one called me out on that behaviour, leaving me always wondering why is my engagement online is useless, and wondering why I had no real friends.Just being a guy who knows how to listen makes my social network slightly more broader than having no social network at all. Friends—even if it's just one or two friends—are necessary for a decent life.

@freemo you make a good point.Some neurotic people hold back from posting, and these same neurotic people are even more cautious about posting because of this recent open disdain for "reply guys".That said, I definitely needed to tone things down. I'm definitely not like the neurotics.

@freemo Cynical remark: murder is only a crime, because members of society mostly (likely unanimously) agree that having oneself killed is undesirable.Want to not get killed? Go live in a society where murder is a crime with hefty penalty imposed if convicted of it.

@freemo ok, with that context, I went with "The suffering it will cause"

People are praising the ATProtocol for allowing a users to have a whole domain name be their usernames, but ActivityPub is almost like that.By the design of ActivityPub, an actor only really needs to be identified by its ID, and that ID could be a root HTTPS URL, e.g. https://example.com, and nothing else is needed.No idea why most ActivityPub software have a heavy dependence on `as:preferredUsername`, but there can theoretically exist an ActivityPub software that doesn't need it, according to the specification.https://mastodon.social/@calebhailey/111615188101412225#ATProtocol #BlueSky #ActivityPub #Fediverse

Interview by @mike with @Gargron.So according to Eugen, he's been using XMPP during a time when people let their desktop PCs run all the time, which is ideal for XMPP's requirement to maintain an active connection from sender to recipient in order to actually deliver messages.But when the world transitioned from desktop PCs to mobile phones, XMPP's requirement to stay always on was just not practical, and the world moved on from XMPP and onto other platforms.The only way people used XMPP was through Facebook and Google Talk, but the mainstream really didn't have a strong appreciation for XMPP.According to Eugen, Email is still going strong because everyone knows how to work with itEffectively, embracing, extending, extinguishing is just not a thing for email yet.https://flipboard.video/w/cTBu4HusskGTuPBahqm6WY#EEE #EmbraceExtendExtinguish #XMPP #Meta #BlockMeta #Threads #BlockThreads #AntiMetaFediPact

@jabberatiI know.Eugen mentioned that.But according to him, in the early days of XMPP, that was NOT the case.

@jabberati I have very little experience with XMPP.What about you?Have you used XMPP from the early days of Gtalk if not earlier?What was that like?

Let's think outside the box, and start building software that doesn't try to be an existing well-known service "but on the Fediverse."Definitely not "Uber for the Fediverse", etc.More like "let's build something, because we think our users want it."And oh look! There's this thing called ActivityPub that could help us a lot! Let's try to validate this idea!"

The whole idea of BlueSky supporting nomadic identities but the rest of the ActivityPub (plus other stuff) Fediverse being unable to do so is such an oversold idea.A new service using ActivityPub behind the scenes (and not the AT Protocol) can absolutely support nomadic identities, even if the service doesn't treat a whole website as the actor.It will still use did:plc, same as AT Protocol (BlueSky), but once done so, an application that understands how to work with did:plc can dereference an actor based on the DID.That said, an existing service will simply not be compatible with this idea, without changing how it operates.#Fediverse #ActivityPub #ATProto #ATProtocol #BlueSky #WebFinger

Web3, DeFi, and DAO aren't dead.They're still thriving.

fedidiot (noun)/ˈfɛdɪdiˌət/A chronically online regressive leftist who treats the Fediverse like a sacred commune and any deviation from their ideological purity as heresy.Characterized by performative political outrage, allegiance to self-appointed high priests of decentralized social media, and an unwavering belief that the Fediverse must be free for all, except for corporations, capitalists, or anyone with a blue checkmark.Fedidiots often declare any attempt by “Big Tech” to federate as "digital colonization", while ignoring the irony of their own centralized influence within their ideological echo chambers. Willing to shout down dissent louder than they shout at actual systems of power.Usage:"She blocked me for following someone who questioned the holy mod of her instance. Classic fedidiot behavior."#Fediverse

I have nothing against left wing politics; just that it needs to be pragmatic.Equating some big tech simply leveraging ActivityPub and WebFinger as being a form of "colonization" is probably the biggest most fedidiot behaviour that members of the Fediverse exhibit.#Fediverse
