  • Hello from my Kbin account!

    I agree that this part of the article is not well developed, and I should have probably rewritten it. What I was trying to get at is that Flipboard has a hierarchy that is unique: The Actor owns a Group, with the Actor being the highest level, and the Magazine below it.

    While you could probably map a Flipboard Magazine onto a ActivityPub Group similarly like a Kbin Magazine is a Group, the intended usecase is still quite different, even though they are both link-aggregators. I dont think this is an insurmountable problem per se, but I dont agree that Kbins Magazines are super similar to Flipboards Magazines. If you wanted an fediverse comparison, I think Flipboards Magazines are actually way closer to the Postmarks.


  • if anything, its gotten worse tbh. the upside is that the move account feature to mastodon works, was a bit concerned about that.

    it doesnt block your old account after a move like mastodon does, so i still have a functional firefish account, just not my followers anymore

    chris stating that hes hesitant to open his new (4 person) firefish server to other people until theyve tested more for stability makes me quite hesitant to recommend the platform for now, if stability issues are this deeply ingrained















  • hell yeah!

    De server zelf is natuurlijk tof nieuws, en erg happy mee om te zien. Maar minstens zo relevant vind ik de toelichting van Alexandra Huffelen, waarin ze ook meer ingaat op het gedachtegoed er achter. Sowieso het benoemen van Elinor Ostrom, in de context dat digital spaces public goods zijn, is heel erg tof. Dit geeft wel aan dat dit meer is dan alleen een korte tegenreactie op Elon’s Twitter, maar een structureel andere manier van kijken naar hoe je als land met het internet om wil gaan.





  • I think what we learned with the Silicon Valley Bank disaster is that VCs are absolute lemmings that blindly follow each other in a wild panic. Slashing your valuations by almost 50% surely will lead to the other investors also following. Which most likely will lead to further enshittification for Discord and Reddit as well. Very curious when thats going to start for Discord.
