Mastodawn

federated mind is launching: a publication about AI tools, open protocols, and creator economics.

thesis: creators should monetize where the reach is today (mainstream platforms) while building real ownership on the open web. both are real.

we cover: AI tools that solve actual problems. how ActivityPub and open protocols work. creator publishing stacks you control. the business case for decentralization.

launching across 8 platforms this week (including centralized ones—meet creators where they are).

A belső privát #Pixelfed migráció is megtörtént a NAS-omról ugyanerre a szerverre, amin ez a #Mastodon #instance is működik, amit csak ketten használunk a saját privát emlékgyűjteményünkként.
(Nem mondom, hogy nagy munka volt kigyomlálni belőle a federációs hajlamot, de sajnos a Pixelfedben ez nem egy gombnyomás, szóval sokáig nagyon paranoid módon ellenőrizgettem, hogy valahol nincs-e mégis federációs adatszivárágs belőle.)

Amint támogatva lesz a natív mobilos alkalmazásban is a több felhasználós működés, vélhetően abból is lesz publikus saját verzióm is, hogy a publikumnak szánt emlékeim elérhetőek, de mégis általam kontrollálhatóak legyenek.

Sosem hátrány, ha az ember talál alkalmas vasat és hozzá megfelelő, legalábbis két-három felhasználó számára elég sávszéllel rendelkező szolgáltatót, hogy a saját kis homelabját üzemeltesse.

Jelenleg már fenn van a #JellyFin, #Nextcloud, #Pixelfed, ez és egy #privát Mastodon szerver, #Immich, #API végpont, #Pangolin és még sok-sok szolgáltatás, amihez nem hátrány, ha nem egy csóró falusi nettel üzemelteti az ember.

Gondoltam fizikai szerver hostingon is. De, azt már tényleg akkor, amikor fizetés emelés lesz. Sok pénzen meg egy a #geek hobbimra, nem kell még ennél is több egyelőre.

Sok ember nem érti, hogy ez miért szép és miért jó. De ebben sincs baj. Én például nem értem mi a jó a fociban, de pont azért, mert nem értek a focihoz. Ők nem értenek ehhez. Nem vagyunk egyformák. :)

MIF - part 3.

Continuing my deep dive into decentralization. Part 3 — a conversation with Arthur, creator of the Atlas protocol.

He has a strict multi‑layer anti‑spam system: format requirements, Proof of Work on signup, a “proving ground”, verification by three humans, quadratic trust votes, FairShares cost for content, node selection, and even AI‑assisted moderation on storage nodes. Solid, but complex.

For comparison: Nostr leaves all moderation to the client — you choose relays and who you follow. Simpler, but all responsibility is on the user.

My MIF project is somewhere in between. The user still filters, but you can plug into ready‑made filters from communities or individuals, give content a thumbs up/down, or delegate moderation to whoever you want.

Next step — try to explain this to Arthur, and meanwhile look for programmers to experiment with syncing different forums.

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.

I gave up on email a long time ago. I have over 25,000 unread messages in my Gmail, and I bet less than 1% of them are from people I know. I’m sure I’m not the only one. And it’s a shame, because once upon a time it was an intimate medium fo short or long form correspondence.

I like what 37signals did with hey.com, but it really needed to be a protocol, not a website.

Easy-to-use whitelists are a necessity.

MIF - My Ideal Forum. Part 2.

I connected with Arthur (@radarsu), a dev building a data-sovereignty protocol without blockchains. We moved from Discord to Matrix and had a great talk.

His vision: a "Personal CMS" – desktop app with email client, storage for notes/passwords/photos, and a publishing platform to cross-post to socials. All decentralized: your data stays with you, you grant permissions per app, no more cookie pop-ups, no lock-in. User verification via 3D face hash (like realeyes.ai) – anonymous but bot-proof.

Meanwhile, my tiny team shaped our MIF first steps: spin up different forum sites, sync them via DB converters, fill with useful content from parsers (ethically). Maximum "collective farm" decentralization for starters. Later – selective sync so each node stores only what its users want. Need experts for the final DB schema.

Day well spent. 🛠️
