“A protocol does not need to encode governance explicitly in order to shape it; it shapes governance by determining which mechanisms are easy to build, which are hard, and which are effectively impossible within the constraints the architecture imposes.”

A good read by @laurenshof on @fediversereport

The Purpose of Protocols

Every open social protocol generates shared resources, but none has produced a governance framework adequate to those resources. So who fills that vacuum?

Have you looked at FedCM yet?

Here is short video explaining what it is, and why the idp-registration feature could matter a lot for decentralized identity and login UX.

Can webmasters please not assume that HTTP/1.1 = bad scraper and think it's okay to block them indiscriminately? Browsers like #Dillo, #Lynx, #Links, and #NetSurf still only use HTTP/1.1, and I doubt they will ever adopt HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 due to how complex those two are. Hell I'm in #PaleMoon with HTTP/2 disabled, and along with #Basilisk their HTTP/1.1 implementation outperforms HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 for my internet connection since they preserved HTTP pipelining (which mainstream dropped because I guess they have skill issue trying to tune their pipelining implementations).

I'm so tired of hearing "people are not on the fediverse bc we dont have good marketing"

NONE of the app on the fediverse have feature parity with commercial offer and good onboarding/new user experience

Fedi is a bubble, half of the people on here are tech savy, regular people dnt come because they dont understand how it works nor care to know

"We should explain it then" NO THEY SHOULD WANT TO COME W/O EXPLAINING ARE YOU GONNA TELL 500MILLION PEOPLE WHAT TO DO ? #fediverse #openweb

Digitale Plattformen verändern sich mit der Zeit.

Neue Inhalte, Updates und Funktionen bringen Wachstum – aber manchmal auch kleine Reibungen bei Performance, Suche oder Darstellung.

Genau hier haben wir bei der Plattform des CyberForum e. V. angesetzt:
- Performance optimiert
- eine Sicherheitslücke geschlossen
- Jobbörse & Suche stabilisiert
- Event-Kalender verbessert

Damit die Technik im Hintergrund läuft – und das Netzwerk im Vordergrund steht.

Finally got a dedicated home live for Stellar Whiskers. 🚀

I’m focusing on web games that are snappy and respect player privacy. No tracking scripts, no ads.

Starting with Rocket Reversi (also known as Othello). I've built versions of this in C/SDL and Godot over the years, but I’ve finally landed on this modern web implementation for the long term.

The problem is not that the current #dotcons systems are broken, the problem is that they are working exactly as designed.

Today there are a lot of dishonest people - it’s become the default. Finding someone who is actually truthful is rare. So with this in mind, let’s stop being polite about this, what we’re living inside online right now isn’t “social media.” It’s a managed enclosure - a system designed to extract value, shape behaviour, and concentrate power. It's what I have been saying for the last 20 years. Call it what it is - digital #feudalism - The Lords, the Serfs, and the Server. When […]

#NOAW @FediVariety think a good #KISS path out of this mess is to move social communications to the Fediverse. But I’m going to say something that sounds controversial, but isn’t: they should not primarily use any of the current codebases, as they are kind of kludges.

The proposal is that they fund the production of three new codebases based on commons publishing. Why three? Because funding this would cost cents on the euro compared to what they currently spend. Why three? Because likely two of them will mess up, so we need diversity.

Why not use existing codebases? Simply because they are copies of #dotcons or #NGOs. But what they have achieved is the standardisation of code, protocols, and culture, and for this, we should thank them.

As this is a federated network, people can still access and interact with it from these existing tools. So widening the native #openweb adds to their value as well.
