Problem being that any instance only displays those posts under a hashtag that it knows about. Currently, if I follow #formula1 from my home instance, I’m seeing different posts than if I follow #formula1 from a certain other instance.
Will probably get better with developments in that aspect in the next few years.
Surph_ninja is definitely right with one thing though: previously Meta used a pre-selected group of organizers who were able to fact check. Meta are now switching to a model where everyone can “fact check” (the former Twitter “community notes” system).
I take it that you missed the whole WordPress situation that developed over the last couple of months?
It’s about control over the intellectual property (trademarks, copyright) as well as control over the company which pays the developers. One does definitely not want a single person in control of these things, otherwise they can hold the whole project hostage (like Mullenweg is accused of, in the case of WordPress).
Additionally, the change also gives them a preferable tax status than the previous arrangement.
The point isnt money. The point is the “benevolent dictator” model, see Matt Mullenweg and the current WordPress controversy. The whole future of that software depends on this guy because he controls the most important assets (like the trademarks) personally.
Eugen and the whole Mastodon development team want to avoid a situation like that.
Bluesky has had a very fast development cycle and now already has features it didnt have 6 months ago. Mastodon’s main problem IMO is how long it takes for features to make their way into the live version. There are features on their github ready to be merged in for 2 years and when asked, no one on the development team was able to find out why it had not been merged.
Bluesky literally allows people to finetune controls on things like allowing quote posts and replies. Thats way more freedom that the average social media platform gives to a user.
Bluesky has the USP of people being able to choose from multiple algorithms or even use multiple ones at the same time; and that certainly has resonated with a lot of people.
The Mastodon devs have received a grant to work on a search/visibility tool in 2025, so I definitely expect developments there
No, they co-own the IP. Barbara Broccoli’s Danjac LLC is the other co-owner.
The rights to James Bond, and consequently the rights to make any kind of movie featuring the character, are owned exclusively by Danjaq LLC and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
So theoretically Amazon can not dictate anything on their own. They need to be in agreement with Broccoli.
Gping by my Letterboxd reviews, Dune 2 or Conclave. I also liked The Apprentice quite well.
The waiting list is still very long at this point. Probably don’t expect to get in for like 2 weeks…
Implementing mastodon.social instead of proper Mastodon, implementing no other fedi software – this scheduler has much potential/work ahead
What you see on Bluesky is a lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances though, it’s only their identities. Their connection to the AT protocol still goes through the central Bluesky server.
Theoretically, yes. Practically, the way their model is set up, it costs a lot to host a federated server so no one is doing it.
I dont know the game in 2, but there are esports in mobile games?
I mean, whether this cartoon makes sense heavily depends on where you’re at. In parts of Europe people choose to sleep on the streets even though they would get free sleeping places in social projects. (And they have their own reasons for that, and it’s fine. But still: they have that option here, it’s not like they are forced to sleep on the street).
Ah, the nineties, back when they didnt milk franchises and make senseless movie sequels
The statistics thing is a downside of how Mastodon implements ActivityPub.
Two possibilites:
I think you can simply hide the counts if it irritates you.
You can install Fedifetcher to pull in missing interactions to your local server: https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher
Johnson clearly stumbled over himself when writing the script for the second one.
I loved the first one though.
No, anyone is able to create a “feed”
