Odysee
I'm curious what people in the fediverse space think about other decentralization technologies like the LBRY protocol, Odysee, etc, particularly as it pertains to making music . What advantages does the architecture of activitypub have over the blockchain? #fediverse #fediversemusic #lbry #bandwagon @benpate @mizkirsten @RobertaFidora @nham

I've seen https://arewedecentralizedyet.online on HN today, and it's ötter bs, makes me angry.
Why?
- website doesn't work without js. but it totally could.
- we don't need a website for every chart grafic data that could be just posted as regular post
- it got hundreds of comments on HN, while HN still not allowing guest comments without registration, neither via ActivityPub

Regarding the biased representation of the website itself. I'm not a fan of BS (or bitch@). Somehow only 2 projects showcased, completely ignoring other real decentralized alternatives like ZeroNet, AutonomiDweb, @librecast, nostr, Freenet \ Hyphanet, Scuttlebot, Retroshare, Etherium, blockchain-based projects, #LBRY , dApps, etc
^That's main complain of my post.

Quality != Quantity

I do prefer using Fediverse+ActivityPub over BS. However, what irratates me is data representation of belief that many servers\instances on many domains on many clients are good actors and sign of decentralization. It might be good under perfect weather conditions, but it is not protected against Sybill attack, 51% attack, bots, sockpuppetry etc ...

If Jack\BS spawn hundreds of servers under hundred domains with LLMs larping as humans, to look more "decentralized" on https://arewedecentralizedyet.online - you don't have software or algorythmic protection from that.
Applications mentioned above could offer an such protection, but they lacks of modern developers & resources.

turns out that's a site of Rob Ricci, a research professor (I wonder if CS?) who built cloud infrastructre (so he should be aware of how easy is to spin hundreds of vm's with 1 click)

@happyborg I do believe that network protocol projects, such as AutonomiDweb, should be in hands of Non-Profits.
ActivityPub specification, standartisation is in hands of non profit w3c.
I've thought Mastodon Gmbh is a commercial company from Germany, but internet says it's 503 Non profit in US. I won't mind if private company does fair business with FLOSS.
But BS is full for profit, so they have incentive to manipulate market\network. (so are Threads)

I’m working on a YouTube alternative article for reasons, and I wanted to know if anyone knows anything on the environmental impact of LBRY? It’s there, but it does have baked in crypto stuff, I’m just not sure how bad this implementation is given it seems to be based on disk usage rather than calculations
