I'm not going to pretend I grasp the technological details of either Weird or the Leaf protocol, but the basic concept of superpowering the personal website as identity provider is very attractive β and the passion of your writing is infectious π I hope to someday reach a lightbulb moment with your work and just implement it on my own site.
i thought nostr was just where all the trolls are going because they can truly be anonymous shitheads.
Also because blockchain, I believe? It's basically a cryptobro grapevine.
Gotcha! Thanks for the ELI5 π

I'm confused, which is it?
The quality about the fediverse that I appreciate the most is the fact that nobody on any of its platforms raised an eyebrow at having a rainbow-coloured pentagram for a logo, until the first Twitter exodus when some newcomer primed for spotting the mildest of outrage-by-proxy gasped, "Have you seen this? Somebody might get upset!"
Meanwhile, the pentagram has been warding off hyperbolic fundamentalists since 2018. The fediverse is much chiller without them. π€
When there are only two options om the ballot and one is set to steer your country into fascism and a recall of human rights β there is no comparison. You vote for the other one.
Also, dick measuring.
Love that featured image π Perfect metaphor for latter day Twitter!
I guess you have to take it for what it is. I see Matrix primarily as an IM network, and for that it works fine. I only use it for private communications with trusted friends, no random pedos can drop into our conversations.
In the past I've subscribed to a couple of interest-based rooms (music and movie genres), but other than that I don't find Matrix' forum or social features very compelling. Too much potential for anonymous randos lulz bombing any public room for my taste.
Well, Mastodon and Lemmy both use ActivityPub, and they're not entirely compatible. On the other hand, the diaspora*, Ostatus and Zot protocols are more or less compatible with ActivityPub, and are considered parts of the Fediverse.
Edit: My bad, according to this diagram it's much more fragmented than I understood it!
"The" RARbg, as opposed to the RARbg that closed last year? I'd be glad to hear that somebody picked up where the original site left off.
I would live this to be the takeaway lesson that humans are better at history. However, loads of accepted history is also trained on garbage.
