I just stumbled upon #Nostr
Does anybody knows some Instances which running on #renewableEnergy?
(and which do not use cloudflare as their CDN...)
#greenFediverse

Well, I tried Nostr, as recommended by some folks over there who said it wasn't as bad as it looked.
Well, I'm here to tell you, it's worse than it looked.🤣
Some people think Fedi is too "tech bro"?!? Go there, realize your "username" is a 32 character long random string. Then, realize the only alternatives are to use a "free" one that you don't get to choose or deal with domains and server files....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dead on arrival. I tried. Not worth my time.

SLIGHT rant about how Nostr works and comparing it to BlueSky, Fedi, and other platforms in terms of moderation.
Well, I just learned a bit about Nostr.
It's basically "Bluesky, but FOSS". You have your account that has more control of moderation for the user.
The difference is that on Nostr nobody can "ban" per se because nobody has control over each other. It's block and mute. That's your moderation and you do it yourself. Nobody does it for you, unlike Fedi or BlueSky.
I gotta say, that's where a lot of you really need to go to have your eyes opened to what the Fediverse is really like for those of us on single user instances and the sheer amount of work unpaid moderators and admins do here to keep these instances as "nasty shit free" as they can.
Awhile back I kept seeing things like "Other platforms have moderation issues, there's CP and all kinds of other nasty stuff there".
There's all that here too, you're just privileged to have people with massive amounts of passion for this place and do the unpaid work to block and remove all that shit.
If you actually had any control in what you're allowed to see or not see, it can end up being the wild west for all things bad. Which is okay for those who don't mind blocking and muting endlessly (What Fediverse unpaid mods and admins do every day), but I'd bet a lot of you won't want to do that because it sounds HARD and potentially gross and traumatic.
So, whenever you think "that other platform is bad because their moderation sucks". Maybe, just maybe, think about if you would want to sit there all day looking at nasty shit like CP and other sexual crimes/hate speech/scams/etc. and have a little sympathy for the actual people who do. Because it sucks and it does exist here, you just don't see it.

I rank the social networks like this, in order of being the actual owner of the things you are publishing:
1) Fedi (self/community-hosted)
2) Nostr
3) Fedi (Someone else's server)
4) Bluesky
5) Telegram
6) All the horrible-corproate-fuckbollocks
I rank the private message apps like this, in order of how actually private they are:
1) Matrix
2) Signal
3) Whatsapp (though, yes, the content of the messages you send with your surveillance app are encrypted, but it is still a surveillance app, FFS)
4) Telegram - This is not even a private message app, this is a public not-encrypted message app. Why is it even on this list? It might as well say "email".
5) Email.
Which ones do you think my actual friends prefer?

It's such an exciting time for social media.
Fediverse is going near-mainstream due to wide adoption.
Bluesky now "unofficially" federates with the fantastic work of Ryan Barrett's BridgyFed!
Threads has one-way federation and claims to plan to fully federate soon enough.
Flipboard is actively working on Federation, some parts already working!
Nostr is federated using the Momostr Pink bridge which also bridges Threads.
The future of interconnected social media is now. Exciting times, we are in!😁

This video is SO good! Anyone who is interested in Fediverse nuances and the issues we've been debating for months now, should definitely watch this video! 4/?

So, at the 29 minute mark, Ryan talks about how Mastodon's search discoverability feature is currently opt-in and there's only 5-6% of people currently opting-in. That's a wild statistic!😬 3/?

Ryan made a pretty good point around the 16 minute mark about how Threads wasn't told to make their federation "opt-in" from the Fediverse side and that people feel differently about bridges for some reason.
Even though, they're the same thing, in most ways. 2/?

Finally sitting down to watch/listen to the podcast with Mike Mccue, CEO of Flipboard, and Ryan Barrett, creator of BridgyFed.
This should be good!😁
So cool to see the leaders in this space share info and help each other make this the best social media project it could be! 1/?

Quote Posts, being able to limit them, and possibly being able to limit replies, is coming to Fediverse soon enough.
I am a bit worried about these features for all the same reasons that others are, as well.
However, I have another worry that I haven't seen talked about yet, because it's a limited experience so far.
Threads added the ability to limit Quote Posts yesterday and I've already played around with it to see how it works.
I'm worried about Mastodon using the same kind of way to limit Quote Posts as Threads.
Currently, the way Threads does Quote Posts, is that whenever you post a link to a post, it automatically turns into a quote post. Therefore, when you limit them, nobody can even link your post on the site at all.
That's currently how Threads Quote Post limiting works and that really sucks if that severe limitation would come to the wider Fediverse.
My worries might be unfounded. This might be not at all how Mastodon will be doing it and everything will be fine.
Any opinions on the matter?🤔

Sunday MIGHT be blog day...🤔
I haven't done that in A LONG TIME. However, there's been LOTS happening and I'm very excited for the future of the platform, right now.
I am obviously still a little cynical when it comes to corporations and their intentions with Fedi, though.
If I have time, (and if I feel good enough. Anxiety is a bitch) I'll do a writing session and detail my thoughts, reasonings, and experiences with this social movement so far.
I'll also be detailing the nuances of each cross-platform integration I have firsthand experience with.
Let me know if this is a type of blog post would be interesting or intriguing to you and it might help me with motivation to pull it off. I don't want to "yell into the void". Especially with something I have so much passion for, and will take some time to complete.
