Gregory's Server

We have reached the Unpack The Dremel Cutting Tool stage of the faucet replacement project. How to talk about the #fediverse so people can understand why it might have value to them. (Skip the term "marketing" if you don't like it. The conversation is still very interesting) From a session at #FediForum hosted by @georgiagemo "Sometimes we [in the Fediverse] can be too serious. need to remember to have fun" From the notes of a session at #FediForum. What's the easiest way of bulk adding a list of #Fediverse handles to a #Mastodon list?  @J12t import-merge via .csv. The format is simple: two columns --> col 1 is list name, col 2 is handle. Import can be done in mastodon settings. "Currently, Threads accounts do not see individual likes on their federated posts, instead getting a notification that says โ4 fediverse users from 3 servers liked this postโ. According to Mastodon CTO Renaud Chaput, Threads cannot use profile info from fediverse accounts on Threads yet because they are not allowed to do so yet by their Legal department." h/t @fediversereport  @J12t @fediversereport From the #FediForum notes of a session: "Note taker: Beneficial Anarchy" Could be the name of a rock band. All the old use cases are coming back with the re-surging decentralized social web. Just came across one that I last thought about ca 2009. 2008-2024: the lost years.  Reviewing #FediForum session notes. One says "Making PR to Mastodon seems futile". I don't know who made the comment or based on what experience, but Ouch! /cc @Gargron @andypiper  At an open source conference this weekend and talking to folks about the different experiences that people report about the community. While some folks report a cliquish and closed core team that make it difficult to contribute, others are glowing in their praise about how welcoming and open the community is and supportive of new contributions. Both of these experiences are probably accurate, but demonstrate how individual milage varies. So many factors. @J12t @Gargron @andypiper that quote seems really familiar, almost like I might have typed it, but I have no idea who said it. Even if it's just one person's experience, though, that's pretty rough. ๐ฌ So Threads turns on the button to enable Fediverse sharing, but then the button has a bug and doesn't actually turn it on. This kinds of thing makes me feel better as a developer, because I do stuff like that, too, and I don't have a gazillion people in the quality department like they do. @J12t hopefully they will soon also federate back comments, feels kinda pointless to answer on posts from there ...  Feeling pooped out. Going to an unconference does that to you. Running an unconference doubly so. But it was a good one, so all worth it. OH at #fediforum "...is expected to take place before the next FediForum". Apparently FediForum is now a measure of time in the Fediverse ๐  @Johannes Ernst This should be a Law of the Fediverse:
After FediForum is before FediForum. #FediForum It seems #FediForum has just led to another initative: a Threadiverse working group. Excellent!! Personal opinion: this #FediForum is the best so far. Discussions have always been good, but this time they are even more intensely knowledgeable. At least in the sessions I've been in so far. A sign the #Fediverse is developing rapidly and the people in it really are figuring out more and more details. OH at #FediForum: "legacy social": everything that is not connected to the #Fediverse. We have a new winner. Madoff was an amateur. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-fines-evergrande-hui-bans-125059847.html Regardless what you think of "Web3" and DAOs, it's interesting to read about the new legal form Wyoming just created. I wonder what average lifetime of a Fediverse handle is. Compared to an e-mail address, and handles on other social media systems. I suspect it is much shorter. How much of this might be intentional vs inadvertent? Examples: firefish.social disappearing. Moderation policies on a server changing. People trying out the Fediverse and only settling on a place after some trial and error. What can we do to make this process as smooth as possible?
