Thanks to everyone who responded here.

I am a qualified no.

I think there are parts of the Fediverse that can benefit from coordination, like how the SocialCG coordinates work on ActivityPub and Activity Streams 2.0, how IFTAS coordinates trust and safety work, and how Fedipact coordinates blocking Threads.

@evan First, we feel our feelings. Then, we make a plan and fight back.

@evan this is excellent news! Standing by to support.

@evan I guess it depends if you only count the time under the shower itself, or also the undressing, drying etc?

Huh, that's unexpected. I thought everyone enjoys long showers.

@evan Everything less than 30 is pathetic.

@evan great photos!

@evan Congrats!

@evan congratulations!

@evan Just in time for my thesis about Mastodon 😃👍

@evan what about content that is blatantly illegal?

If that is the case, how can instances differentiate?

I became a member of a particular instance BECAUSE they do not accept, save, and forward everything.

The policies of my instance form the guardrail that protects my mailbox.

It's very impractical imo. I treat ActivityPub more like an API, so it only makes sense to process activities that make a semantic sense for your particular implementation. I don't even store the original JSON I receive.

It would make sense for a "dumb" server that implements C2S ActivityPub and doesn't have much of its own UI/UX, though.

@evan Congratulations and thank you! That book is much needed.

@evan War on cars

@evan 👏 Well done! Great milestone.

@evan I used to have like 25+ 🤣 I now have 2 email addresses, but I need one more because of spam filtering is too tight at iCloud sometimes.

@evan since i do e-mail aliasing, and have been for the past 4 years, it means one email per account created since then. that's dozens, if not 3 digits by now.

@evan haha this is an interesting way to look at what might happen

@evan I thought the platform itself supports AP.

@evan
I think "2101 or later" would include "never."

Isn't Artemis going to eventually result in there being one? SpaceX with their huge reusable rockets will sure help too.

@evan semi-related: for people who daydream about spending significant amounts of time on other planets or in orbit, there is a brilliant episode of The Daily demystifying what the experience would be like: "The Bodily Indignities of Space Life" nytimes.com/2023/12/10/podcast…

Listening to it makes me appreciate life on earth so much more! I think of it every time I take a nice long shower or when I enjoy a delicious meal followed by a walk outside

@evan @ChrisPirillo Love the interview! I was not aware of most of the ActivityPub driven social networks you talked about!

@evan @ChrisPirillo Great video. Shouldn't it be posted on PeerTube instead of or in addition to YouTube, though?

At 30:45 there's a great overview of the benefits for creators in adopting the fediverse, by simply federating their Threads account or joining Mastodon, either way you'll finally have a direct, owned relationship with your audience. Thanks Evan and Chris for this discussion! @evan @ChrisPirillo

@evan I'm a strong no. I don't need or want to know who has viewed my profile (or viewed my posts, seen a DM I've sent, etc), but if the data is available curiosity will get the better of me and I'm going to look at it anyway. I'd rather not be able to see this data so I can't be tempted to look.

@evan I actually think it depends on the network. On most social media, like Mastodon, blue sky and Threads, I'd say no. On LinkedIn I think it makes some sense to see it.

@evan Turn the question around. "Should other users of a social network platform be told that you've viewed their profiles?"

@evan Unless you try to start a phone company. They won't connect you to the network if you don't jump through their hoops.

@evan@cosocial.ca

So much better than in the years just after AT&T was broken up and you had to dial five digits to get your preferred long distance carrier.

At least it was never as bad as trying to send email over UUCP.

@evan
Oh, my account is always there 😁

thanks Evan for these first steps to the Fediverse 🤗

@evan does it still federate? I pasted the identi.ca url into my Mastodon instance's search bar but it wasn't able to find it

@evan Thank you for starting this whole beautiful mess!

@evan @snarfed.org @nightpool

Interesting that this is more about identity than "privacy" so native to #4opens a breath of fresh air in this.
