@humanetech definitely. I know Alex and am following with interest :)

@humanetech I did see it, but

- As with many SocialCG proposals, it's too theoretical. It's ideas built upon other ideas with what feels like no code written.
- It's per-instance. I'm looking for something per-actor, and preferably something that could be combined with privacy settings. Something that, given an actor and activity, could answer the question "can I send this actor this activity". The answer could be a simple yes/no but also something like "yes but only if they follow you".

@peertube

Jitsi seems to be #java .. anything for you @grishka .. get that 5,000 euro prize :)

@humanetech Hmm ... not sure what to do about that. If the SVG shows fine when viewed locally, and fine on the server to which it's uploaded, then it must be on the system you're using to display it, and I don't have any control over that.

I'd be happy to receive suggestions for action to take.

@humanetech No, the fact that moderation is fully decentralized, and I'd say entirely optional, is a feature, not a bug. There's no need to fix it. There is a need for robust spam filters though because that problem is only a matter of time.

This project promises to change to world, yet I've not seen someone actually use it. It also promises a lot of theoretical stuff yet not much of it is implemented in practice, or at least it feels such.

Realistically though, you'd want not a "no phone", but a "non-addictive phone". Like, a feature phone. It makes calls. It receives SMS. You could install Opera Mini on it and browse the web, at lightning-fast GPRS speeds, if you REALLY have to. Heck, you could even make yourself an OMA IMPS gate for whatever IM services you absolutely need to stay connected to at all times. But its restrictive nature would prevent you from being addicted to always checking it.

@humanetech IMO "true interoperability" between disparate software should be such that only the features that intersect between the two are interoperable. For example, if someone makes a hypothetical forum, it won't make much sense for it to interoperate with Mastodon. It totally could, but that would be detrimental to the UX.

For example, Smithereen groups and walls aren't interoperable with the existing microblogging software, and it's fine.

@cwebber @darius the creatures had genes, a neuronal network, and an emotion system. Their interactive environment and the way you treated them (slap, stroke, feed, starve, etc.) determined their character. You could breed them with other creatures, mixing genes, and see traits come back in offspring. Both eggs and creatures could be exchanged over the internet via a community. There was a marketplace with all kinds of items for the environment, brain upgrades, gen modifications, with editors.

@humanetech phpBB is probably still alive
