Well, yes, but a bridge to Discord could be bringing traffic from order of magnitude more people than we currently have, and we do not have the infrastructure for it yet.

There is a fork called Incarnator which sees some occasional commits, but I think it’s more of a maintenance project that an attempt to continue bringing innovation. I believe that my ADAPT project has learned all the lessons from Takahe and will manage to bring more exciting features.

Short of pruning the data every once in a while (and losing all history) there is nothing that can be done to optimize it. It may work as a proof-of-concept or if you want to run on your own, but I really don’t think it is a good idea to promote it.

The latter. Any instance that has at least one user following the bridge will have to process and store every message coming from the bridge discord room.

Do you really think this is a good idea? Have you considered the amount of traffic will be generated and the amount of data storage this will require?

So every new conversation thread becomes a new post and every response becomes a comment?

I’d say this is impossible, by design. The main problem of corporate social media is that it is controlled by an oligopoly, and we can not get this much concentration of power in a system that is designed to be distributed.

The world does not revolve around you.

The problems of Corporate-owned social media affect all of society. We need an universal alternative that can be a real threat to them and alternatives like the Fediverse serving only the fringes do little more than act as a “managed opposition”.

I am building some solutions to these problems myself

No need to be coy. What problems are you tackling? Where is the code? I agree with pretty much of what you are saying, this is why I started working on Fediverser, how about joining forces instead of coming with yet-another plan all on your own?

How old is TikTok?

A lot of your problems woild go away if you stopped browsing by all…

I’ll be interested in following this thread. Some customers of mine are tired of Pixelfed thousand little papercuts and are considering dropping entirely. Even one photographer preferred to run their own Mastodon instance to avoid dealing with Pixelfed’s eternal beta status. I might spend some time this weekend figuring out how difficult it would to deploy Vernissage.

Best person to answer this is @mariusor@metalhead.club

True, you’ll need an activity object whose actor is the same as the original post creator to indicate the answer is accepted. The point still stands, though: the ActivityStreams vocabulary already has what’s needed to enable this funcionality.

Ok.I see. Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea. It’s only a marginal benefit in terms of protection against data scrapers (you can also build that profile based on who they follow, or what they write about…) and it makes things more difficult for moderators and hides important information from other community members.

Stop thinking in terms of “votes”. Think of the activities as a “fixed content messages”: John liked this. Alice liked that. Bethany did not like that other thing. Each “vote” is a meaningful interaction. A server that says “2734 people did not like your message” means absolutely nothing.

This is not a political council nor a popularity contest. No one will make critical decisions based on the amount of worthless Internet points.

I do not understand arguments about privacy when we are talking about a public, social network. Social interactions online do not need to be that different from real-world interactions. if you are not willing to say “I did not like / I disagree with you” to someone personally, then you shouldn’t say it at all.

Sean proposed something more ambitious: identity-first onboarding, where you import your social graph and content before choosing a server. The idea: set up a “pre-identity” that pulls in your posts and connections from other networks, then pick a server that fits

https://fediverser.network/ has exactly this. The missing piece was (still is) that no lemmy admin that I talked to bothered to integrate with it.

I understand that coming from users, but not from the project developers. They know they’ve built a client for the Mastodon API, so it should be described as such.

I was super excited when I saw the headline because I am just about to deploy a headless ActivityPub server, then I realized it’s a client for the Mastodon API.

Right, I misunderstood. We have daily backups and I can give access to them via SFTP, but to be honest there is no interface to do that via the website yet. It’s only recently that hetzner integrated their storage box solution to their cloud API, and I didn’t have the time (or customer pressure) to automate that yet.
