I wanna know what a new generation of #p2p looks like that's actively oppositional to the information economy. one that implements adversarial interoperability as a first class feature, that hops over API limits intended to keep you walled in gardens. one that makes a mockery of egress and storage fees. one where we don't plan to play nice, because the information conglomerates aren't either!
@kawaiipunk Will do! I think I literally can't shut up about my setup lately. :P
So far tiktok is pretty easy to use but the system heats up a little bit
@Miaourt I've tried setting it up before but it's honestly a massive pain in the ass compared to the AVD tools. One reason I hadn't started doing stuff sooner is that I was hoping to use anbox or waydroid. :P The stead Deck is also a little fucky with how you can install stuff so anything that isn't a binary running as a user without extra system dependencies is a major showstopper.
Defs glad that project exists though and I'm excited to use it in the future as it matures. Just low on time atm.
@RevPancakes I'd love to explore some of this stuff in Agregore but sadly I have been too busy with client work to spend much time rethinking it. Just been slowly ideating and adding lil fixes when I have time
@RevPancakes Yeah! It's really cool what they're doing with moving snippets of pages around. I kinda wish they didn't require a proprietary cloud service to work though.
I think the shitpost's apparent aesthetic distance from 'poetry' is what makes it possible for so many people to develop poetic chops as poster's. if they'd known they would be writing poetry they'd have been too afraid

It certainly doesn't help to be very visibly not an average person. 😅 I kinda forget that I dress really weird and have weird ways of speaking about stuff.
I'm generally only around folks that love me for who I am, and reality is not as aligned with these views.
Reddit, users discovering lemmy

"Is this what the internet felt like?"
I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
Followed by the following comments:
When the world wide web was fresh? Absolutely, it was.
That’s about how I remember it. Having your own webpage, running servers from your PC, dabbling in all kinds of new communication methods.
Heck, friend of mine ran an email and shell account ISP from his bedroom for a number of years.
You can also comment from self-hosted mastodon :D this is awesome
Folks, kids are rediscovering the freedom of the old internet.
How ironic that this was caused by an internet corporation CEO getting greedy.
@mauve
this is literally what I'm working on rn and also it is good to see another person being like "say we should actually use the JSON-LD part of activitypub"
I think one thing that would be crucial on top of starting to get new views, would be to normalize the use of Triple Data Fragments on any ActivityPub and SmanticWeb data. Without even the most basic filtering on datasets we stand to have a lot more waste and UX problems . If I need to parse a person's entire history every time I want to view their data, it's just going to be too slow.
If clients could fetch just the "latest" few posts from a standard AP source, we wouldn't need servers so much
So, I think the SemanticWeb vision has probably been around there for years. But what's different now is that we have a bunch of data for folks to be into! If we get even a rudimentary thing that could let you start exploring the different fedi data types and let you bring your account with you to be able to comment whenever you want, we'd already be serving a bunch of folks.
I'm personally that folks too. :P And we could also be making a new foundation for a user-centric web.
And in order to make it easier for people to interact with data, there should be ways to have at least a default or some sets to choose from.
From there people could write their own views and share them with their pals or within moderated communities of view tied to data types.
Like, right now I have no clue what apps forlks are using, but it'd be cool if someone I'm mutuals with got added to my trust graph and I could discover the stuff they think is cool.
This gives space for creativity
For User Configurability, I think that's one thing that makes me the saddest about the state of the web (and apps!). While some hacker types can inject stylesheets and edit the layout at our whim, the average person is basically stuck with all the banner ads and useless shit and inconsistent accessibility.
For me personally, a lot of sites just don't work for my needs and are a constant pain to try to read through. What if instead they used standard ways of presenting their data.
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
