Try looking for anything related to “element” or “matrix”… Completely impossible

This is not entirely bad imo. There are other things they should have sacrificed first, but in the end they will have to kill off a lot of projects anyway. They need to downsize and focus on the important things again.

NYC Mesh has been around for more than a decade. I assume they talked to other similar projects when building it.

You really think this would even have live long enough to write an article about it if it wasnt built properly?

This is not a new concept, its been around since 2014 so they will just have copied a lot from existing projects like the german freifunk which i participate in (exists since 2003).

What is “sun”? I only know “screen” and “LED bulb”…

I mean in your example it wasnt the software that was bought, but the website no? If most of the project revolves around a single site that uses the software then this is inevitable.

If nobody is willing to take over the maintenance of a fork, then thats just what happens. Its not like there is a deadline to this tho. Anyone could still just fork the codebase of a project that went to shit 10 years ago and start maintaining it again.

If people are willing to work on a project for free thats cool, but without any donations it will often be too much. To get donations you need a central, well known platform that represents the entire project. This is hard to do for a fork, because potential donators would initially have to trust complete strangers to not just abandon the project again right away.

Im sure this was used to burn down entire cities more than once. Warcrime generator goes brrrr. Well warcrimes werent a thing back then i guess.

France with the 980% of required signatures. Based France!

Damn thats wild :o

I dont even use 12 rolls in that time. wtf?

You could still bruteforce facebook logins when i first started using it, now its harder, but you can just wait for one of the yearly huge dataleaks to happen…

So they are fully infiltrated by Israelis now?

The head of Israel’s Mossad, David Barnea, had previously revealed that the first 500 pager radios had been brought into Lebanon weeks before 7 October 2023.

This was news to me. Another point of evidence that this entire genocide was pre planned and contingent on the success of the 7.10.2023 attack which the military knew about weeks in advance.

Oh true i have seen that long ago. Very sus then.

Is that whats implied here? I thought Heather just went to her Boss to complain and the Boss called IT…

and get fuck all as any for of reaction whatsoever

I mean yeah, why would anyone see your posts. I doubt people look at the “new” live feed much on mastodon. I dont have an account, but as far as i can see there are zero sorting features like on lemmy. There is only the live feed and a couple “Explore” filters that are not configurable.

So yeah nobody will see your posts unless you already have followers… Thats just how microblogging works by default. On lemmy people will just automatically see your posts if its posted into a community with a bunch of subscribers.

at least a setting stone for people to be in a slightly better place than Faceook or Twitter?

No, not really. It has already started caving to Turkish political censorship requests for example. They are implementing checkmark bullshit and from the start they required you to have an account to view all content.

but people are learning about alternatives like us

99% of bluesky users have never heard of the fediverse or anything like that. They just blindly follow the herd to the next platform like always. In a few years bluesky will turn to complete shit and then they will once again jump to the next garbage platform.

Thats exactly what it sounds like, a “bridge”. An island doesnt stop being an island because it is connected to mainland with a bridge. You could also bridge twitter or facebook to mastodon, but that wouldnt make them part of the fediverse.

A bridge is just a piece of software that receives data from one protocol and re-formats it into another protocol. You could bridge SMS to bluesky if you wanted.

While the Fediverse has traditionally been the network most commonly referred to and used as an example regarding the subject of decentralized social networks, alternatives to it and the accompanying ActivityPub have been developed and deployed. A major protocol in competition with the Fediverse is the AT Protocol, which powers the Bluesky social network and has formed its own separate network dubbed by developers as the Atmosphere

So no it is not. Basically Fediverse = activitypub
Bluesky doesnt even properly federate with instance using their own protocol so its not even in any way comparable to the fediverse.

Yeah i was wondering if anyone commented on that. Its that open source gene material.
