Wanted to add, I recently tried #pixelix for #pixelfed, and I might actually like this app better that the official.

The beauty of the #openinternet, #freesoftware, #socialweb and #activitypub

I will check it out, but for what I heard is to post in multiple sites with the same app, right?

1. People are more familiar with the UI

2. They are microblogging services, so yeah, I don’t see any feature that cannot be translated to the UI.

3. I find it easy, but for other’s that’s not the case.

4. The level of engagement can be hard to get on a decentralized service in a network that suffers from fragmentation. Besides, the way the developers of Mastodon (and other services) built their software was by in fact not federating things like likes to other instances, making it so that the level of interaction yoi see form a remote server is not actually the correct one.

I think you misunderstood what I’m referring to. The bluesky app is open source and it has the same UI as twitter, basically. I’m talking about forking the project to make it compatible with Mastodon.

Yeah, that would be dope. An average user probably won’t use it, though. But having the option is great, and for user who don’t opt in for self-hosting probably an option to export their algorithm data would be cool, for things like changing instances.

I just installed and is pretty neat. Truly a photo first social media.

That is a fair point, but I’ve seen @dansup@mastodon.social talking about what he plans to do about the algorithm to keep privacy-friendly. If I’m not wrong, I recall something along the lines of having the option to self-host your own algorithm recommendation.

Hahaha, that’s just funny.

That is a fair point, and I don’t have the answer. Maybe use technics that @peertube@framapiaf.org uses like torrenting (or another way of decentralized storage), I guess you could use a cdn/object bucket?

Mbin is so cool, it’s what I’m using.

Agree with the article, same idea. Despite the opinions each one of us may have regardless #nostr and #bluesky, they have cool ideas we could borrow.

I haven’t developed anything with #ActivityPub, but have read a little bit of the spec. I would love to hear the take from developers making use of it.

(Sorry for the mention in any case)
