  Is there a federated radio?

  Someone streams music and everyone is listening and sharing at the same time.

    There are tonnes of Icecast stations out there, and I occasionally stream on my own. The great thing about it is that Icecast streams are highly portable so you can embed them into websites (which is what I do), or throw them into apps, or stream them through VLC, or whatever. Some sites will have some kind of chat or whatever, but the best thing is that you can kinda do whatever you want once you get an Icecast player working on a website or in an app.

    For a while there was a glorious thing called Radio Free Fedi but, sadly, it shut down. Such a cool concept too!

      That’s cool

      You can discover streams here dir.xiph.org

      E.g. manager7.streamradio.fr:1250/stream and put it into vlc and it can play it directly

    I miss Shoutcast.

      I used to run a liscensed internet radio station in the pre-Napster era, using Shoutcast CDN servers provided by IM Radio Networks (now defunct). We featured Indie bands from MP3.com (now defunct). BandCamp, iirc, had just started it’s operation.

      Shoutcast is still around, but it’s proprietary and costs money. It’s still a viable alternative to Icecast but I think you’ll find more Icecast based services around simply because of the price. That, and Icecast has been around for a long time, so it’s kind of a known system. But yeah, tens of thousands of audio and video feeds still run on Shoutcast. They even have a directory to help you find them.

    Lately? LinkedIn has always been that. Facebook for corporate douchbags.

      Is there even really a function for linkedin without… well what it is? The last people to adopt new and open source tech are… corporate executives, and to my knowledge the whole point of linked in is, a psudo job hunting web page, with some social media pages as a secondary (of which people are only going to be posting “work hard” and “I work hard” kind of messages because… well they’d never post something that might make them less attractive to employers.

    Sunshine and a few others were talking about building a federated Linkedin alternative on Matrix, I don’t know what happened to it now.

    I think, Xing is owned by Burda. I consider that not as an ideal solution. But unfortunately I don’t have a better suggestion.

  I see the Linkedin logo but don’t know of any such replacement for the ‘social media for employment’ service they offer. If there is now such a service, I would switch in a heartbeat.

    I mean, LinkedIn is like fanfic for people who like to lick corporate boot, so… idk if I see there being a federated version of that popping up anytime soon, considering the very anti-corporate views of federated platforms.

    LinkedIn is not, nor ever was a social business networking site. It’s a data mining and harvesting site that recently added AI training data to the mix.

    It is mind boggling that people use it, even before microsoft bought it for data mining and it was going through the users emails.

    • artyom@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I mean. It’s both. If it was just a “data mining and harvesting site” that offered nothing in return, no one would have ever signed up.

    There’s a xing logo on the right side. Looks like OP made a mistake since xing is neither open nor federated

    Looks like there is something github.com/Haui1112/FediWork

  Its always been this way. Never said hello in the first place. But good to see people waking up to it.

  Friendica isn’t that great in my experience. I thought it’d make a good facebook replacement, but it’s missing groups and pages as a feature.

  As for peertube, I have yet to find an instance that would allow me to create an account so I can follow channels and comment. And yes, I know I can comment with my other accounts like Mastodon. But the average person won’t understand it that way because they’re not used to that paradigm. And I much prefer to have an account for each platform myself.

    What have you tried to find an instance? Looks like PeerTube.wtf has open registration.

  You know, the thing that pisses me off about Friendica is that you can’t easily see what the site actually looks like without signing up for an account. that really sucks.

  Gradually, the migration to new platforms will take place

  I’m not sure that will (or should) happen. Mainstream social media has an awful lot of shit that wouldn’t exist (or wouldn’t exist in the same way) on federated social media. For things that are purely commercial (which is a lot) the effort is higher and the payoff is smaller in a federated system. There’s a lot of social media that thrives only because it’s fundamentally commercial. That segment would never embrace federated social media willingly.

  Then of course there’s the trigger-reward cycle you talk about. People might know it’s unhealthy, but they still do it. Not having that as part of the user experience a big adjustment coming to federated social media.
