flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bluesky is more open than you think.English3·8 days agohttps://azsky.app/ tries to use Bluesky’s feeds to simulate something like communities. I think it focuses too much on piggybacking off bsky content to be useful though, like forums and microblogs are different paradigms and a different UI isn’t going to change that.

Honestly, less than 3K independent PDS is genuinely insane. That’s about 14,000 users per PDS provider. For comparison, if Lemmy had that same kind of concentration, there’d be 3-4 instances. PDS providers are also piss easy to host.

Yeah, definitely messed something up with the lemmy-ui, here’s what their site actually calls:
I think this might be a problem with their lemmy-ui deployment. Looking at communities on phtn.app with a chachara.club guest account shows the right thing for local.
Now you’re just moving the goal posts. You claimed the article was AI generated and assumed it was talking about a separate entity also called Matrix, when neither of those things are true. I also didn’t ‘just quote something’, I quoted the above article.
But fine:
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Games@lemmy.world•A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?English9·17 days agoOh for sure, Fallout 3 Geoguesser would be hard. Idk, I just never had a problem navigating them, even if they were a bit samey.
The article shortens venture capital to VC. It also didn’t confuse the Matrix Foundation with a VC firm of the same name, it’s talking about Element (formerly Riot). Like, the article says this in pretty simple English, I’m genuinely confused how you could’ve missed it:
In roughly the beginning, there was two organizations that came out of the project: The Matrix Foundation and New Vector Ltd / Riot / Element. The idea was for New Vector Ltd to carry out the necessary work and bring in the necessary funding for the Matrix Foundation to thrive. Or well, so I’ve been told.
They had multiple funding rounds lead by the likes of status.im, Automattic, the AI and Web3 company protocol labs and others; You get the gist, lots of VC and similar funding also a questionable amount of “Web3” and
bullshit generationAI. Element was then tasked with using that to build the software that would power Matrix.

* I never got the ‘metros are hard to navigate’ criticism, I never had that issues. Most of them are pretty linear.
The Luddites weren’t replaced either though? Factories still needed labour and much of what the Luddites were rallying against was the idea of being pressed into prison-like factory work. Much of how gen AI is being applied is to deskill workers so they can be exploited more in much the same way that machines like the power loom was used to deskill textile workers.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Pull request to begin to add ActivityPub support to the bluesly PDSEnglish8·23 days agoReally cool honestly. How big it is is probably predicated on if Bluesky enabled it for PDS’es on bsky.social.

WithContext<SharedInboxActivities>>
for that to be the case, and just to make sure I tested against a local running main and was able to send activities to it without the@context
just fine.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Two Approaches to Solving the “Quiet Fediverse” Problem: Conversation Backfilling MechanismsEnglish22·24 days agoThat still only shows replies the server knows about, this article is about making sure all replies to a post are present on all servers.
FEP-1b12 (Group ferderation) kinda already alleviates this, our part of the fediverse doesn’t really suffer from the missing replies problem, but it’s a solution that doesn’t work well with microblog platforms.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Need help implementing ActivityPub - getting inconsistent results across platformsEnglish4·24 days agoI’m not the most knowledgeable about Mastodon’s APub implementation, but having a look at the
Actor
of that profile, it might be because it’s invalid JSON-LD. Now, Mastodon doesn’t actually do proper JSON-LD checks, you can follow PieFed profiles from Mastodon and they don’t produce proper JSON-LD, but they do include"https://w3id.org/security/v1"
in their@context
, and doing a code search of Mastodon’s source code does show some checks for if that’s included.Lemmy’s I am familiar with and irrc it doesn’t even check if
@context
is present.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Now even my personal instance is infested by these AI crawlersEnglish95·25 days agoYou can enable
Private Instance
in your admin settings, this will mean only logged in users can see content. This will prevent AI scrapers from slowing down your instance as all they’ll see is an empty homepage, so no DB calls. As long as you’re on 0.19.11, federation will still work.
