You totally can. I'm writing this from my fediverse server that contains zero lines of code written by Meta.

@grishka I'm pretty sure you are using at least one library they contributed to

Not to mention your whole UI is "borrowed" from their 2010 UI lol, or did you so easily forget that haha

There's also one thing that annoys me about Misskey and Pleroma. They don't return the replies collection for posts, thus preventing Smithereen from loading complete reply threads.

@grishka @dansup ah interesting. It looks like that's also in the process. Are all three of these going to federate with each other? I would love to move off of gh and gl once that happens.

@grishka @thomasjwebb @dansup I feel as if git is already the federated github.

It's missing some features. But other VCS are adding issue lists, etc.

I'm going to subtoot @atomicpoet's recent threads about the variety of #Fediverse platforms an people's unwillingness to look beyond #Mastodon here, with my personal opinion on what is the fundamental issue with all of the existing platforms: that even when they were born after and with the intent to support #ActivityPub, they were not designed with a clear separation between the server side (who should just be exchanging and storing activities) and the frontend (with which the user interacts).

The recent developments have made me realize that I should probably write a #FirefoxRequiem series not unlike the #OperaRequiem I started when the first news of its sellout came around, but the truth is that I've never been invested in #Mozilla #Firefox the way I was in the #OperaBrowser, and @mozilla's failure (intentional or not) to keep their browser at the forefront of the defense of #OpenStandards and a free web really doesn't help.

Oblomov

I don't know how much credence to give the voices claiming that today @mozilla is essentially controlled opposition, but there's little doubt that they are putting suspiciously low effort in making sure that their browser is appealingly competitive, preferring to pour resources in side endeavors that I doubt help them in any way in improving the cash flow, other than distracting them from improving the product Google doesn't want to see being improved.

So, my take on this is that apparently #BigTech wants to kill #OpenStreetMap next
mastodon.social/@migurski/1095
I understand @migurski enthusiasm about it, as he can count it as a personal victory in this initial phase of the #Embrace, but we have not forgotten the #XMPP bait and switch. #Extend, #Extinguish are next, and we would rather NOT see #OSM get the #EEE treatment.

The #Fediverse isn't Web 3.0, it's Web for Workgroups 3.11

@oblomov Proved more successful than TW/2 Warp - even though it was technologically more advanced.

Patiently waiting for Fedi NT 4.0...
