@denjin @gargron Also give GNU and these guys (@mmn @hannes2peer) your money to make GNU Social a better implementation. The more the merrier :) #federation -

Repeating my idea that DMs in OStatus could be solved using a XMPP server run in parallell with the same user DB. Two users following each other would be subscribed in XMPP lingo. Discovery of servers through .well-known or the DNS SRV records.
OMEMO on the messages gives end-to-end encryption. BOSH and any of the JS libraries in-browser messaging capabilities. -

@clacke @moonman @dtluna That sounds like all the hyperpatriots singing along to "Born in the USA". -

@mjd @strypey @lnxw48a1 @clacke Perhaps a more central question is "Is 'money' a noun or a verb?" -

@lnxw48a1 @mjd @strypey @clacke Is it a necessary and sufficent definition, though? When does a particular thing start acting as a money, and how does it stop? Does it need a market? Does it need a market of things other than itself? -

@mjd @strypey @clacke It's singularly hard to pin down what money "is", I think, if only because there are a number of different groups who all claim one definition of other, the differences in practise are quite subtle, and there is, to me at least, no clear candidate that is strictly a stronger choice than any other. -

@gargron In particular, the "spoiler tag"-like thing you've got listed there is the <category term="nsfw"> thing, which is a much more reasonable idea imo. -

@gargron ...But this isn't listed there, and using "summary" is "content warning" is iffy at best, imo, considering the Atom spec.
Regarding privacy, I believe there have been many many long discussions on how that can be handled in a federation, and the answer seems to be, unfortunately, "it can't", but if you've got something new that can deal with malicious followers and all other sorts of interesting issues in a _federated_ and _interoperable_ way, then I'd be very interested. It's a very very tough problem that I've spent some time thinking about with no real progress, so I'd be very interested in seeing your thoughts. -

@gargron You have a very weird way of using atom:summary as a "spoiler tag" in my opinion. I can sort of see the reasoning for it, but it's wildly out of touch with the original spec, and have _very_ weird effects when users start using it in creative ways (see e.g. @jephjacques joke-stuff) and it doesn't interoperate properly.
Considering its use in the above instances, could you also send the "summary" as part of the content? That is, as it is shown on your web when showing a specific notice?
Neither Mustard nor AndStatus seem to handle it as you do, and neither does any of the GS web clients. -

@gargron @mmn @hannes2peer Isn't the goal to be better though? -

@hakui @clacke Well the thing is that you need a certain level of moderation to have useful discourse, and not everyone enjoys having shouting matches and bullying tactics. Abusive users will tend to be banned from reasonable instances, where the node admin acts with the ownership they have, and thus the abusive users will tend to congregate to low-quality, low-moderation instances. Shutting those off entirely seems to me a reasonable choice, for some if not most instance admins.
And blocking individual users is not good enough when you're getting flooded by abusive, harassing users (see all kinds of cases on e.g. Twitter). Blocking silently on keywords helps, but there are ways around that, which abusers tend to be well aware of. -

My impression is that there are some topics that have taken off into decent discussions (I've discussed the Assange and Applebaum situations a few times for example), but there are indeed key people missing, and also general "density".
I have hopes that the OStatus network will grow, and I think a key "killer feature" could be abuse handling - twitter is honestly really bad about this. If instance admins feel, or are seen as, responsible for the abuse, harassment and other similar things that goes on on their instances, then hopefully the abusive people will be confined to a number of instances that can be blocked entirely.
This can also tie into the "free speech" maximalism that some admins/moderators are using to absolve themselves from abusive use of their instances. With federated, open protocols, you can be picky without "censoring" - if the "censored" dispute your judgement they can just go to a different instance and still participate in the network. -

Sure, but I don't agree that "they didn't give the US anything to vote for". The faults are primarily systemic, not primarily personal, or even faults of the internal DNC culture (though that needs changing as well).
Agitate, Educate, Organise. Meanwhile, defend against fascist attacks, capitalist temptations, and unhelpful narratives like primaries being "stolen" when even the supposed head of the movement, and primary person who would have cause for grudges agrees no substantial stealing went on.
Invade the system. Occupy the parties. Unionize. Unite. Grow and fabricate your stuff locally. Find or found communties where you can pool resources for the greater cause, where you can help each other help each other, and thus help those outside the community too.
Again talking mostly to any americans reading. Us swedes already have healthcare and education at a decent level, though we've got our battles to fight too. -

Digital is shit. Just had to save a gig from disaster by loaning my 11-channel crappy analog mixer to the big band when the Behringer X32 Rack gave up on getting any input signal on any of the channels. Yeah that didn't exactly fit all the winds. Ended up just running song, piano, guitar, bass and bass drum through the PA. Not the best we've sounded but we made it through the gig at least.
