Awesome!
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 2 weeks ago:
I think a link between your idea and mine is in the direction of writer Evgeny Morozov (mondediplo.com/2024/08/07ai-cold-war), who did some interesting research of alternative forms of how the internet could have developed including a project by the chilean government called “Cybersyn” (in his podcast “The Santiago Boys”, open.spotify.com/show/7xlRxnooUnl48JVo726YXn)
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 2 weeks ago:
I made a first prototype here: github.com/bluebbberry/MyceliumWebServer. Its recommends songs to the users. You can see it here: techhub.social/@myceliumweb and try it out by posting to #babyfungus on Mastodon.
You can do AI in an ethical way by making it more decentralized. The idea behind the mycelial web is to realize it based on volunteer computing, meaning that everybody can contribute computing power. And then I can say, for example: use my models, which was trained with all these other models, on this Amazon alternative to recommend me stuff. And the AI model was trained on my PC and runs on my PC (just wasn’t trained solely with my computing power or my data alone).

Could this be an app realized based on the mycelial web - amazon uses huge AI models to predict their customers and do the logistics …

- Comment on MyceliumWebServer now connected to the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
The idea is that every fungi-node also has a UI, yes. So you would be able to browse the AI models - for example if you chat with bot A, and the bot is currently learning with bot B and C, those bots would be visible to you and you could open their UI, too.
This way you could “browse” the resulting AI web via the browser.
- Comment on MyceliumWebServer now connected to the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
Well, its similar to a botnet, but one that is open and transparent. You can browse the different nodes, etc. And you can (at least hopefully in the future) add your own computing resources to the network to participate in the AI training.
Its a bit like a more sensible version of bitcoin, but instead of waisting energy for the proof of work, its training a shared AI model.
(Its running on a Hetzner server.)
- Comment on MyceliumWebServer now connected to the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
Well, big tech has big computers, the Fediverse doesn’t, but we have many small one. That’s why its a good idea to combine them.
This has already been done for example by projects like SETI@home or FOLDING@home.
My idea is to build a web based on this idea.
There is a good video on federated, decentralized AI training here: www.cl.cam.ac.uk/…/20241127-1500-t221089.html
- Comment on MyceliumWebServer now connected to the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
One can imagine this project as a decentralized huggingface, which (spoiler alert), could also enshittify. The idea is that we need bots like this because huggingface can enshittify
- Comment on MyceliumWebServer now connected to the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
Hi, the bot was incorrectly set up and posted every 60s, which was too much and it got suspended.
Its now updated to posting every 12 hours and hopefully, it will be soon up again

Yeah, I know, thats a big problem of the idea. The answers would need to be really good.

- Comment on Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of 3 months ago:
Decentralisation doesn’t necessarily come with decentralized technical infrastructure, but its the basis for it. I’m still betting on ActivityPub.
- Comment on PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster 3 months ago:
Yeah, that’s really awesome
- Comment on Niche Communities won't be able to reach their true potential until lemmy adds a sort that takes engagement into account. 3 months ago:
Piefed solves this with topics kind of neatly. You keep the ubique communities but they are all in one place
- Comment on A little essay I wrote about "mods are power tripping" 4 months ago:
Mods are assholes is interesting, because its similar (but not the same as) all cops are bastards. Sure, a place where you dont need cops sounds great, but it also smells a lot like mass survailance or total anarchism (Mass survailance is walled garden internet and total anarchism is the fedi-pact).
- Comment on Let's clarify something: does Bluesky allow federated servers on their network? Is there a list of those independent servers? 5 months ago:
Thanks for the explanation. Didn’t realize Bluesky/AT is more like a fedi-washed version of ActivityPub rather than a real alternative …
I’m not sure; on the one hand, I think the fact that federation has become a unique selling point in micro-blogging is indicating a positive trend; so even if people join fedi-washed Bluesky its good for the Fediverse. On the other hand, if federated just becomes another buzz word that means nothing at all, while places where the real innovation is happening are drowned out, the window of opportunity could just close.
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 6 months ago:
Piefed has topics, so different fediverse communities can be viewed through the Fediverse-topic for example

Thanks :)

Do you know how far the development is?
- Comment on Bonfire Launches Open Science Network for Academics and Researchers 11 months ago:
I guess its federated so the people running it will determine that.
Also, if you have to sign in with ORCHID, which identifies you, you will be careful to post useless garbage papers. I think the integration of ORCHID is really clever. That’s at least what I think it will be used for too, right?
- Comment on Nilay Patel tells Decoder guest host Hank Green why blogs are still great 11 months ago:
I don’t know about the current state of the project, but last time I used WriteFreely, it was kind of meh. Very barebone, the server I used often crashed :(

- Comment on Diagon Lemmy - A Queer-friendly, Harry Potter-themed Lemmy Server is now live (before you block me instantly, please hear me out) 1 year ago:
Yeah, I think those are good. I read “The Master and Margarita”, its also about magic (not children’s novel though).
I mean, I wouldn’t have a problem with just doing another fantasy series instead. In my opinion, the magic system is the most unique thing about Harry Potter, because it teaches people certain things about the digital world. You can delete things, you can move things around, you can make things appear and disappear.
