Comment on Nomad-capable server for an NGO
jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu@hub.netzgemeinde.eu 18 hours ago @Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ In a sense, the same applies to (streams)' post-FEP-ef61 nomadic identity.
I've managed to clone a few (streams) channels, but all my (streams) accounts are pre-FEP-ef61. Most accounts registered post-FEP-ef61 were registered into a (streams) ecosystem that barely offered any servers to clone to.
I guess that (streams) and Forte have fewer than 50 users combined, most of whom run their own private servers for exactly one user and with probably exactly one or two channels, depending on whether or not they daily-drive the admin channel.
What's really standing in the way of both testing nomadic identity on (streams) and Forte and for either to succeed is the lack of people willing and able to run public servers with open registration, regardless of how big these servers will be. Not just set them up, keep them running and peek in every three to six months, but actually pay attention to them and keep them well-maintained.
But then again, we've only got a small handful of such people on Hubzilla. Not many beyond Mark and you, which is why Mark holds most of Hubzilla on his two hubs. And because Scott doesn't really get his planned hubs going, even Americans join Mark's two German hubs.
Vice versa, if a German wants to try out (streams), they may have to join Waitman's American server. Ping times from hell included.
Nomadic identity as a whole is a purely theoretical construct as long as you've got nowhere to clone to.
