• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse alternative to Facebook is what's really missing⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It has all of them, but it’s bare bones and doesn’t scale well. The instance where I have an account regularly falls over - sometimes for months at a time. Most of my friends there haven’t returned.

  I don’t feel it’s currently a viable Facebook alternative, and it would need monumental amounts of work for it to become one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Security without sovereignty: Australia’s quiet slide into digital dependency⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, we had the Poms until WW2, now we have the yanks. Anyone that believes we’ve ever truly ‘stood alone’ is clearly deluged. Perhaps we might one day, but that would take a different sort of leadership. Likely the sort that most of us would consider objectionable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wafrn is for People Who Miss Tumblr’s Chaotic Energy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s activitypub, but can be configured to also use AT as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Australia is not the USA’: Labor accuses Coalition of importing Trump-style culture war on immigration⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most illegal immigrants are poms that have overstayed their working-holiday visa.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted bloggers : welcome Fediverse comments directly below your posts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re using WordPress, the activitypub plugin does this also. It’s good to have choices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly, the first thing the defending lawyers will point out is where were the parents in all this? Why was he able to turn off the parental controls, and why didn't the parents notice?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Farewell to the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I removed ActivityPub from my blog, I'd get no readership whatsoever. It's not like search works anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Filters already mute keywords and can be set for specific periods of time. AFAIK*, subscribed blocklists were rejected because they could be used to target minority members by bad actors. How are custom feeds different from lists?

  • From threads on the subject months ago, so that might have changed.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really that hard to explain, unless I'm missing your point. Wafrn is a federated Tumblr-like platform that allows two-way interaction with Bluesky users (without the need for bridging).
