Some small rural towns stay connected through Facebook groups.

If you want to reach people in that small town, for social or commercial reasons — you post to that towns' Facebook groups.

What could the Fediverse and Social Web learn from this?

If not, what features could the developers of @funkwhale and BandWagon (@benpate) add that would allow accounts on their software to be used for release and show announcements, so you wouldn't need a second account on a micro-posting service for that?

@vv

I dream of being able to store my online social presence, identity, and history just as — an (organized) set of static files.

A set that I control.

And, I can (if I want to) host myself. (I.e., I am the "source of truth" / "origin" for my files.)

If you cannot get (most) regular people to write JSON-LD, JSON, or even HTML —

But, you might be able to get them (regular people) to write something similar to Markdown and INI —

Then, are there ways you could (explicitly or implicitly) encode JSON-LD type information, such as ActivityPub, into a Markdown-like or INI-like file — in a way where they (regular people) would likely include it?

I suspect — probably yes.

What kind of privacy and curation features would you like to see in fediverse software? #fediverse #fedidev #FediDesign #fediux

One person's request for Fediverse applications —

Alex wants to be able to choose what the preview image is for a video, chosen from the frames in the video.

...

I can imagine editing tools (in Fediverse applications) would also be useful.

It is also common elsewhere for people to be able to use custom images for preview images.

What one person wants from an alternative to a Twitter:

• choice of home-feed algorithm,
• editable posts,
• ability to moderate replies

This is an area I think we could improve on the Fediverse —

Nested Comments

This (in the attached screen-shot) is from someone on Twitter who is also on Mastodon and Bluesky.

He seems to be a fan of the nested comments UI on Bluesky.

We have some great applications on the Fediverse. They could be made even greater with this improvement.

Something Fediverse related that I am working on —

Toddlerverse

Basically, what I have been thinking about is —

What would take to make areas of the Fediverse geared towards toddlers.

(The document I am writing is still a work in progress.)

(I am a parent of young children, so I have first-hand experience with kids usage of online media, including social-media.)
