Definitely not afraid of long posts... But oh how I love paragraphs

@lor You can read in the blog post what I think about this.

@pfefferle @jeremy @wallabag @activitypub.blog so I was able to save the latest post itself (which is actually also the full article) directly via the wallabag Android app. that's awesome!#APnative

@oblomov@sociale.network and nothing of value was lost Just kidding of course, there are many cool accounts on dot social

@sam there are so many possibilities. It's almost strange there aren't some important examples like this. As if people, organizations etc doggedly don't want to invalidate choices of the past... . Maybe all it would take is a single visible example?

Want the app? Get it on Google Play, or join the iOS waitlist here with code SURFAPPhttps://waitlist.surf.social/

@info Very well said. Couldn't agree more. A wolf in sheep's clothing. A patina of 'open systems' over a solid $100M corporate core.

@liaizon thanks (as always ️)

@toddsundsted@epiktistes.com absolutely. In fact, the app that made the AP news rounds a couple months ago was Holos, an AP client on your phone that connected to a server elsewhere. That's the ideal use case for C2S, but alas they didn't go that route. I'm hoping to look into using it to enable cross-instance activities. Think "liking and replying" using your Mastodon account while browsing a WordPress site.

@liaizon never heard of retroshare?

@wjmaggos@liberal.city I think that thinking of "anything" being boostable is both weird and expected at the same time. We hold these thoughts in our heads concurrently because it was how the web-at-large (indieweb notwithstanding) worked. What I mean is... A news article isn't a discrete resource shared on a common social web — such a construct does not exist outside of the Fediverse. ... but news articles are littered with "share via..." buttons that sort of approximate the experience.

@BrennpunktUA it's not a 1-1, but this almost akin to someone starting their Mastodon instance with the default Mastodon codebase, then customizing it from there. Everyone starts somewhere!@darnell @ricci

@julian @Kye Jodel is also a fairly popular social media app in some European countries like Germany.

@blog@shkspr.mobi Such a great read. Thank you for the thoroughness. I loved this. We need a new way to measure the #smallSocial effect. Right now people saw we fail because they only look at one platform. #BigTech had to invent "monthly active users" to help people understand their "value". They're trying to measure us the same, but we're nowhere near the same. We're an evolution and no one will ever truly know how many of us there are. So I beg folks, don't look at one or two or three instances and say that because some arbitrary number goes down that we're losing or dieing. No no no. We're growing and learning and finding ways that Big Tech NEVER wanted to exist. Just because they use a yard stick doesn't mean we need to be constrained by that. EVERYONE please keep up the incredible work. I'll fight for this the #restOfMyLife. How about all of you?<span class="invisible"> #RomL #smallSocial #smallWeb #fedi #Fediverse </span>

@darnell @alpacasncats @mosseri @threads @conno_r @pfefferle @mike @Gargron @ottman@minds.com @john@minds.com @dansup with the terrible marketing the fediverse has it's number ia impressive. Blueaky popularity is not suppriaing since it was created by jack dorsey
