Several of you seem to be misunderstanding. When he says “like Twitter” it’s not in the negative ways you are thinking. It’s in the negative ways he’s thinking. Meaning censorship and being able to ban accounts. He doesn’t want that. Mastodon would have the same criticisms if he commented on it.
Why would that matter?
Not at all.
Very valid points. Medium and Substack will remain popular due to how easy it makes it
It is actively developed. Some forks are Firefish, Foundkey, Sharkey, IceShrimp
People would run their own PDS for a couple of reasons, build their own communities, host their own data, their own moderation practices & policies, and maybe they don’t want the “big world” view
ActivityPub is not garbage, it’s just missing important aspects. Atproto is good that users get a global view, identity isn’t tethered to a PDS, custom feeds and not at the whims of an admin that can sever any relationships they have or that can delete their account.
The Fediverse will grow. Especially, with Threads joining and potentially Tumblr and Post.news. You’re right that the Fediverse we know will disappear. I believe there will and needs to be a great schism. You have strong actions of Lemmy and Mastodon that are anti Threads and anti growth, let’s call them small fedi. Then you have those that will federate with Threads and want the Open Social Web to become the major focus and how most people engage socially online, big fedi. You already have a culture with a lot of infighting and some fundamental incompatibilities, it will only get stronger. It’s best to separate now.
Your knowledge is wrong. They opened up federation in February. There’s currently people from fedi that have Atproto PDS
How would that work?
It’s smart to offload the legally tricky parts. Versus here those fall onto admins
You mean how people treat Mastodon.social?
Yeah, people don’t really care about decentralisation nor federation. People want an easy experience where everyone is
The very last part of this blogpost https://activitypods.org/the-road-to-activitypods-2-0
There will be two apps built on this framework out by the spring
There is also the Dot Social podcast
That’s cool but that doesn’t answer the question
I see people here attempting to equate it with a natural attraction and or a fetish. We all have internet access and can look it up. It is in the DSM-5 and ICD-10 both pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Especially, in this more advanced age of medicine, science and society. If it was natural I believe the corrections would’ve been made and or strongly advocated for, it’s not. What is advocated is using terminology correctly, encouraging those that experience this to feel comfortable to tell their truth and seek help. I believe some of you guys comments are very dangerous and some of the upvotes and downvotes are concerning and makes it difficult to distinguish if you are in support of protecting children. The point is please don’t just blanket label it and compare it to things that aren’t harmful, illegal and consensual.
There is a term for that Ephebophilia generally covers ages 15 to 18
So weird that no one mentioned https://micro.blog/ Which only after Mastodon was the second platform to adopt ActivityPub.
