Is there a client for Mastodon that purely speaks in ActivityPub rather than mastodon-specific APIs?
Ahhh, the initial spec of IPLD prolly trees is almost done and we're about to start writing a golang impl based on the spec that'll integrate with other IPLD things more easily.
Next we're going to be working on indexing data on top of it, and from there' it's a small jump to bridging the fediverse wtih p2p by publishing indexed activity streams onto IPLD!

allow me to criticize the state of the fediverse as much as love it:
- tiny brain: mega-node such as mastodon.social oh dang it we've reinvented twitter
- regular brain: I'll just choose an instance off of joinmastodon.org oh dang it got shut down everything I love is lost
- galaxy brain: I'll self host fedi software oh god this is hard I'm afraid to upgrade
- universe brain: we need to merge the fediverse with p2p network designs so a node going down isn't catastrophic

If you're feeling lonely this holiday, just toot "if you can't push to prod on thanksgiving you're not a real devops" and a whole community of people will keep you company. In fact you'll even get a job offer from Netflix.

Did you know that #Mastodon supports #RSS feeds?
That means you can follow your favorite people and topics right inside of Thunderbird!
→ Just add ".rss" to the URL ←
For example, our Mastodon URL "https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird"
becomes
"https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird.rss"
What about #hashtags? YEP!
Let's look at #OpenSource. From our instance, it is: "https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource"
So, we just append .rss and it works!
"https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource.rss"
REALLY useful if you don't want to miss a thing!

The hardest problem in computer science is to make a social network without nazis

I guess "no ads, no algorithms" is social media's "no gods, no masters".
What a relief!
I wish there was some format for DnD which could be a lot more async at the speed of an email thread or forums. Or the speed of someone casually playing a chess game with a friend over the course of a week, paying attention to it when it's their move and they happen to have time.

Cancelling plans is okay. Putting yourself first is okay. Going for a long walk is okay. Abandoning society is okay. Moving into a cave with a family of raccoons is okay. Giving them tiny swords & shields is okay. Do what you need to do to cope.

Monosexuals are whack. It's Adam AND Eve, not Adam OR Eve! 😤

Posts on here don't go viral, they go fungal, because the Fediverse is like the mycelium of mushrooms.
Just tried out debirdify and it looks like a lot of the folks I follow on twitter are already online.
Also useful to find folks I blocked 🤪

I wish I had some clones so we could work on more stuff than my individual body can do. 😭
There's like a dozen things I want done but I can handle 4 at most at a time in practice.

The #ournetworks wiki is live at https://2047.ournetworks.ca! Red links (for pages not created yet) is an interesting invitation for collaborative writing. There is a #writeathon happening later today at 17.00 ET on tech + labour remaking and caring for the future that anyone can join: https://ournetworks.ca/#writeathons
Whoops, totally forgot to link to the PR: https://github.com/kenlabs/ptree-bs/pull/1

Spec writing is hard. It takes so much time to get stuff right, especially compared to publishing some code with maybe a few tests to back it up. 😅
But hey! We've got v0 of our IPLD Prolly Tree implementation up for anyone that'd like to take a look. 😁
Oops, not me applying for another joint grant proposal with folks. :x
Gonna be doing a lot of p2p search indexing stuff over the coming year which will be great.

I am dead, I can’t believe this AI intro text I just got. If you thumb through it, there are all the usual suspects like breadth-first search and probability.
Then you open the first chapter and it goes HARD on the current state of things.
Then it’s back to mathematical notation like nothing happened.
