This brings the #Fediverse to parity w.r.t. [[agora bot]] functionality, finally!

For me it's clear: people having control of a [[decentralized]]/[[distributed]] digital [[commons]] yields a liquid democratic platform which can be used to optimize large scale communication for mutual understanding and cooperation, leading to a meaningful global revolution via logical increments.

1. It sucks less than Twitter in many interesting ways.
2. It is developed by humans you can mostly directly talk to.
3. It can be improved by you or your friends, given it's open source.
4. It is only one out of many #Fediverse providers.
I may start by putting up a static page which just lists https://joinmastodon.org *alongside with the equivalent sites for every other #Fediverse provider*, and other meta sites (like federation maps).

File it under [[Twitter API changes]].

I've been away so long in a way. From this [[mental space]], I mean -- from just writing my thoughts in raw format and without limitations on the #Fediverse (on #Twitter before that, when I thought one could be part of the other).
- [[2023-12-18 16:03:15+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link): -@jotaemei I think so, I will try to make it!
Also it'll be an inspiration for making the [[Agora]] more of a part of the #Fediverse by then :)

- More [[Fediverse]] experimentation.
- Some Agora [[UX]] tweaks.
@3wordchant @ntnsndr they should likely be put in communally guarded penalty islands until they repent from violence and hate.
I think we need to build the technology for this together, cooperate optimally with [[threads]] while ensuring they adopt an ethical stance and provide sufficient tools for the #Fediverse communities to be able to protect themselves.

I would rather their first contact is with friendly open people and groups like those at #socialcoop

I expected 'wrong'/misshapen activities to result in some kind of error reporting activity coming back to the source, but nope. Mastodon at least seems to just accept the activity and drop it silently in the floor later (unless you have access to its logs, which you don't for the vast majority of instances out there).
Does anyone out there do better?

Is there a #Fediverse client that doesn't suck for writing threads? Meaning facilitating writing longer form writing even within the limitations of the the micropost format; letting you shape a thread first, edit it and then post it as a whole
- [[2024-08-11 14:08:26+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link): -I went to boost a post, having forgotten which social platform I was in (sometimes with the different clients it takes me a minute to remember if I'm in the Fediverse, or in Bluesky (which will join the Fediverse fully soon), or in X (which doesn't have plans to IIUC).)
I saw this in the UI and I thought: cool, I can [[quote post]], like in a platform that fully makes sense to me. it turns out this was in #X. You can't widely perform this action today in the #Fediverse, and that gives me pause.

- [[2024-08-29 09:30:47+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link): -Because of this kind of thing a #Fediverse friendly schism seems likely. There will always be people who want to be more liberal than that (in what they accept, what they produce, what they try in their instances, what they can assume while experimenting). So having two Fediverse modes, one based around opt-in federation and one based (as currently) on opt-out, makes sense to me.
We should plan for this and do it right to ensure that the Fediverse remains healthy even as it "forks" in this way.
