today’s facebook outage should be cited as evidence that federated networks are better

by the way, did you know that Pleroma and AndStatus are collaborating on building a production ActivityPub C2S client?

read about it here: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/499

mastodon.social is the AOL of the fediverse, honestly

another thing i want to work on is creating an economic network inside the fediverse.

by this, i don’t mean something like bitcoin or some other method of value exchange, but instead solving a more fundamental problem.

the fediverse is largely comprised of people who have small businesses (like bespoke commissions, etsy stores, small companies, etc.), but we don’t have any way of discovering who can sell or provide what you’re looking for.

i want to try to find solutions to this problem — keeping $ flowing inside the fediverse, from participant to participant, helps indirectly to fund fediverse development: if there’s more $ flowing inside the fediverse, then there’s more opportunity for that $ to make it into the hands of the people building the network. also, keeping the $ inside the fediverse helps to more directly benefit fediverse participants in general. it’s a good situation for everyone.

keeping more of the $$$ inside the fediverse is a very early step toward building a self-reliant fediverse, which contributes to the eventual death of the nation-state.

Even as far back as 2012, the late IoT researcher Barnaby Jack, then at IOActive, demonstrated that several vendors’ pacemakers could be remotely controlled and commanded to deliver a 830-volt shock via a laptop, That is, of course, enough to kill someone, and Jack noted at the time that the vulnerabilities open the door to “mass murder.”

seriously, I’m never getting a modern pacemaker. the only way is if it was an oldschool one that didn’t have remote access.

if you’re an artist from Tumblr, you might actually prefer to give Pleroma a go, because it has similar customizability that Mastodon lacks.

it’s also easy to self-host, which means nobody can kick you off.

and with relays, you can easily connect to the greater fediverse community in no time.
