If you are unfamiliar with #twtxt, it is a different take on decentralized microblogging that has been around for many years, and it is quite interesting to see it now bridged between this side and that one!
So, we jumped from #Twitter to #Mastodon, after a man with a sink showed us how fragile centralized platforms really are. And now there's #Bluesky wanting to convince us that their AT Protocol is even more robust than #ActivityPub. But is it really superior and would it have been better to build the #fediverse on top of this protocol, instead?
Calckey is a Fediverse server type which includes lots of features that Mastodon doesn't yet have, such as emoji reactions, markdown, customisable interfaces, widgets and lots more.
To see for yourself, have a look on the official website at:
Neat interview on today's VergeCast episode by @pierce with @mike about the potential for ActivityPub, Mastodon, the Fediverse, and decentralized social media. McCue's description of Mastodon as a 2-way RSS (2-way streaming), well, I'm still ruminating about it. :mastodon: 🤯 🎧
"ActivityPub creates an open social graph for the web."
And we get an explanation from Nilay Patel as to why he still isn't on Mastodon.
It still feels a bit beta imo, but it’s easy to see why the design is more likely to have mass appeal – especially once it becomes a bit more stable.
I’m not yet motivated to move anywhere yet, mostly because @ivory has greatly improved the #Mastodon UX for me.
But overall it’s great to experiment in the #fediverse. You get to see the magic of #ActivityPub in action: the simple idea that the apps we choose should not bar us from talking to each other.
Excellent deep dive on the current state of the #fediverse and #mastodon, with a detailed history of the movement to #decentralize#social, and predictions about where we go from here.
It goes into detail on the companies that recently joined the club in supporting it, the previous struggles on getting social media more open, and the current trends.
Still missing is the official presence of The Verge here on Mastodon though 😉
Se tiene que decir que #GNUSocial esta...si si....esta antes que #Mastodon en nuestro enorme #fediverse, de hecho creo que #Mastodon sin #GNUSocial no hubiera triunfado como lo esta haciendo.
También hay que decir que el cambio de #Mastodon del protocolo #Ostatus a #Activitypub dejo sin federar a #GNUSocial y eso en su momento no me gusto nada por que aunque #GNUSocial implemento el protocolo de ActivityPub ....perdió el modo #Qvitter..... que era una interfaz muy atractiva para la red y que hizo que perdiera usuarios, entre eso y otras cosas, falta de desarrollo, etc.. menguo #GNUSocial y nos mudamos la mayoría a
#Mastodon...y aquí estamos.
Ni se si aldran bien nimbrados o arrobados, aun me acuerdo que #GNUSocial en modo #clasico no es tan predictivo, jajaj, o metes todo el nick bien a maqno o nada, jejej.
A ver que sale de esta publicación en la cual llevo casi 25 minutos.
Le voy a hacer una captura antes de enviar por si acaso...y sino pues ya la tengo tambien, jejejje.
Gancio is a free open source Fediverse event planning system, aimed at communities wanting to organise their own events instead of using Facebook or Google.
You can interact with Gancio events from Mastodon etc through ActivityPub, and it also supports RSS.
The Gancio website is at https://gancio.org and the project's official Fediverse account is at @gancio
Takahē is a new kind of Fediverse server which is aimed at small to medium size servers. It's unusual as it allows the same server to host multiple domains, and allows each user to have multiple identities. You can find out more from the project's official website at:
Minimalist designed blog built from nextjs and tailwindcss supports activitypub. It even has comments with avatars which is an advantage over writefreely.
