This is an intriguing panel discussion from FediCon, published on the @decentered podcast;

https://wedistribute.org/podcast/s2e4-we-distribute-live/

Some very challenging comments made, including "open source is dead". I just wish the host had asked the guests to explain exactly what they meant by comments like that, before moving along to the next topic.

Wait, is @rabble saying what I think he's saying? That's there a central moderation power in BlueSky that you can't opt-out of? Even if you use an ATProto stack totally independent of BS services? Or does he just mean you can't opt-out if you're using the BS AppView, Relay, or either?

"... advocacy is one of the things that we currently lack within the network and we really need to execute well on, if we want to help bring more people in. The network's growth is kind of dependent on that, and if we don't keep growing, there's some concern that we might not be able to maintain the momentum that we've built up to this point."

I'm all for organic growth, but we don't need it to improve service.

S2E2: FediForum Recap

Just discovered a second podcast called Decentered (the name of the @wedistribute podcast). Listening to their fantastic interview with @rabble from Nos.social. Where he talks a lot less about the history of Titter, and a lot more about the history of Indymedia, and his more recent work with decentralised social media;

#TIL about @frequency, a federated photo-sharing app;

"I'm trying to be very upfront. Like, OK you're going to have to pay for this service. But I really want to make it as affordable as possible. I want to give you options to pay for your family and friends, to bring everybody in if there's someone that can't pay for it ..."
