It'd be cool if all the Brands™️ went off to make their own bubble on the fediverse.
I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.
Optimising #Mastodon = designing flows that encourage people to leave mastodon.social for other instances, not accepting any more new members on mastodon.social, and making design changes that limit how much a single instance can scale.
A single instance that can scale to host hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people, is not a design success in decentralisation, it’s a design failure. (It’s a design success in #BigTech.)

@aral Personally, I've been working on making efficient p2p database indexes and finding a way to represent ActivityStreama in them so that we can start bridging between fedi and p2p. 🥰
@samplereality @weirdsatellite Excellent, thank you for the link, 🙇
Peep the 7 min mark where I try to do a live coding demo and have to sit on the floor to try to see the screen. 🤪
Also, here's another talk I did at #IPFS Camp 2022 on #Agregore

My nose was kinda congested and I was going on 4 hours of sleep as usual so I'm glad I managed to get it working at all. 😂
Main takeaway is that I think this #localfirst web stuff is important for creating resilient software in the face of global climate change and political turmoil.
@cblgh lol, it was a bit tough NGL. 😅 But to be fair, one of the talks was a duplicate of the other, just in different tracks.
Here's my talk on what #IPLD is at #IPFS Camp 2022!

I was the third talk I was doing in as many hours so excuse me if I was a bit tired. :P
Still pretty happy with how it turned out.
@cdata this is gold 😍
A thread: Job openings in programming and ops in open source software/research, developing frameworks for distributed applications, working with @cwebber at the Spritely Institute: https://octodon.social/@cwebber/109202062994483288
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.
