I've never played #Minecraft - Is this #Federated software? Is it #FreeSoftware? If so, how can Microsoft control what's happening on someone's private server? Even if such code existed in a #FreeSoftware application, I would have thought there'd be a fork that eliminates that external control. It's time for that now. But if #Minecraft isn't #FreeSoftware aka Free/Libre Open Sou…

An article I recently read talked about the copyright battles of the late 1990s as instructive to what #decentralized, #federated and #peer-to-peer networks will face if and when we become threatening to the big #corpocentric networks. I think it is something we need to think about. Unfortunately, some parts of the #Fediverse (primarily, but not exclusively #Mastodon) have mar…

@sim In other words, we often intentionally try to look like the #corpocentric networks and hide the things that make this one different. Then we are caught off-guard when users (especially new users, but sometimes people who have been around for a year or two) show ignorance about the fundamental differences inherent a #federated network. We need to make it clear, from the beg…

http://status.hackerposse.com/url/19580 This is worth a read. This person has spent some time thinking about these issues. I'm not saying his/her conclusions are "the right" conclusions or that he/she has discovered all the potential issues. But when we discuss these topics, we need to have a (shared) starting point, where everyone understands what particular terms mean. #Fede…

The HN discussion perpetuates the usual misunderstanding of a #Federated network. People claim they must have accounts on multiple instances in order to follow conversations there. But a person really needs only one account on one instance because they can follow accounts on other instances *because Federation*! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14157801

#unifederate: When a site or service is theoretically #federated, but lacks any functioning peers with which to make theory into reality.
-
@gargron It's complicated. Pump has a few features, such as ability to restrict recipients and a good chunk of former StatusNet users (from before the #bifurcation into two incompatible #federated networks).
-
@maiyannah @moonman @lnxw48 no need, it will "defeat" itself later on (by being sold on low price). As long as #federation remains compatible between all social-network software ( !gnusocial !diaspora #friendica and all the others) we can be a good alternative to those bloated #corporate islands. that is what makes the !fediverse good: #open-source and #federated. :-)
-
So, #GoogleTalk still works and is still #federated #XMPP, but is an #island WRT other #Google services: there are no lines of direct communication with the Google mainland, despite being able to still see the lights on in the distance sometimes.

Another example of why one should not let #corpocentric sites be the main locus of one's postings. Best to !selfhost (or at least use #federated sites) and to use centralized sites only to link to your content posted elsewhere. http://url.federati.net/hXUrX

@jaideneverett Welcome :) !GNUsocial is like Twitter, but #non-commercial and #federated. The servers are run by hobbyists and #activists
-
Welcome @geniusmusing to the !fediverse. GM is an active user of another #federated network and is now joining !gnusocial as well.
-
Another #Federated #secure messaging tool: https://ring.cx/ Anyone tried this yet?
-
@deavmi afaik the #deleted posts are a new !gnusocial feature for #federated deleting
-
Of course, I dread the day that someone takes jonkman.ca Can't !selfhost Domain Name Services -- we need an independent, #Federated Domain Name Service!
-
@moshpirit What do you think about the #newhere tag, as used on !Diaspora? If it helps people integrate more easily into the #federated network, maybe we need to do something similar for !gnusocial.
