Evan Prodromou, the creator of StatusNet, the OStatus protocol, and co-author of ActivityPub, is launching a dedicated nonprofit for the purpose of advocating for and supporting the Fediverse.
@deadsuperhero@lemmy.world Btw, if you’re using Mbin you can follow them directly from there! Their account is @swf@socialwebfoundation.org ( !swf@socialwebfoundation.org )
TIL Wordpress is using ActivityPub. I think one issue we have is how hard it is to find instances, communities, or even other media like this, since they won’t even show up in your search if they’re not already federated with your instance. And since many servers block crawlers, it is hard to index them externally too. I think that really limits the reach and the perceived size of the Fediverse.
Yeah, discovery remains one of the big domain area problems for the network. There’s some promising work happening in the space, but it’ll be a while before we see something.
Incidentally, our publication is federated, and can be followed at @news@wedistribute.org!
Why do you view these as issues to be overcome?
Content discovery is difficult on the Fediverse. There is no “why” here. I also don’t understand your question or what you are trying to imply.
I’m not even going to entertain this moronic point you’re trying to make. If you want to stay in some sort of tiny social media bubble I’d simply suggest you host your own instance and just defederate from everyone and everything. Then you have all your small scale communications with yourself for yourself.
I have presented no take.
Are you doing ok? What’s bothering you?
And now you’re gaslighting me. What a great human being to talk to.
Seriously. What’s up? You’re responding with a great amount of negativity. You’ve accused me of gaslighting and being moronic with no provocation that would warrant either response.
Because I don’t have the time nor interest for those constant bad faith arguments on this fucking platform. You questioning my opinion that this is an issue that we need to overcome means that you feel the Fediverse should stay small. I’ve heard this argument way too often already and it is nothing but a stupid circlejerk from people who pat themselves on the back for feeling superior over their choice to quit Reddit and to be “different”.
