It is also thanks to Evan that !ostatus hade a platform in #identica to strive on, which turned into StatusNet which is today !GNUsocial and was the network which #Mastodon could bootstrap off and to this day federates with.

I'm not sure how you would know if your timeline is "too white" ... other than a few people who talk about their ancestry or use (what we assume is) their facial image as their avatar, a person using #GNU_Social / #Friendica / #Mastodon / #Red_Matrix / #Hubzilla could be of any ethnic group, from any location around the world.

That's actually one of the best things about online communications. I may talk with you for years before I realize you are a member of $RACE and $NATIONALITY or that you live in $COUNTRY. We get the opportunity to build relationships without all that garbage in the way.

Hi, I'm @mmn, maintainer of GNUsocial. I reacted when it was written that "many people on gnusocial are angry" and wish to say that !GNUsocial has only love and appreciation for #Mastodon and #ActivityPub.

I believe cooperation is important for libre software and the federated social web. I believe our plural and diverse community should embrace and encourage contributors and development. Any progress we want to make - regardless of anyone's preferred technology - is impeded by hostility and empowered by friendship.

So I want to say thank @cwebber @gargron et al. for all the hard work you actively put into ActivityPub. It's awesome that so many users get in touch with !fs via open protocols.

@chriswere @elizafox doesn't #Mastodon already allow for selective federation with other servers? I hear it has implemented #ActivityPub

strypey elizafox

@elizafox the alt-right #birdsite exodus happened before #Mastodon launched. They mostly use #GNUSocial forks like #PostActiv and #Pleroma

strypey rbonifaz , sri

@rbonifaz @sri unless something changed in the last couple of months, #Mastodon uses #OStatus, not #ActivityPub, and doesn't support groups

sl

Has anyone actually checked and monitored how well the #federation #network actually works? Are posts visible on other hubs and what's the delivery #latency. Etc. I'm just curious. Is there any automated #monitoring / #statistics site for this information? #gnusocial #mastodon

sl

Just noticed yesterday after all that talk about #mastodon that there isn't a single #gnusocial #mastodon or #ostatus #hub / #site in #Finland. Why not? Closest sites seem to be hosted in #Sweden or #Germany.

mmn gnusocial , cwebber

@cwebber The only reason !GNUsocial doesn't have #ActivityPub yet is because I have a fulltime job and noone else has been up for the task .]

Though I'm pretty sure it'd still just be the 100% public parts of AP that would be used/promoted, as I'm pretty much convinced there's no such thing as privacy in the social sphere anyway and anyone using "private" communication in an environment like !GNUsocial or #Mastodon is fooled either by the platform, the administrator or other users. (anything accessible via a web browser isn't made for privacy)

AndStatus AndStatus , infO_Overlord

@infO_Overlord Different instances of #Mastodon and #GnuSocial have different subsets of the same conversation. This is by design of the federated network...
This is exactly why e.g. I simultaneously use several @AndStatus accounts at different instances. #AndStatus application helps me see copies of the same messages at different instances, choose as what user/at which instance I want/can take part in the discussion, collapse duplicates visually in a timeline.

There are a lot of things I love about #Mastodon, but there are a lot of things about it recently that are just killing my enthusiasm. I really didn't want to admit it to myself for the longest time, but I can't bear much more of it.

The mangoposting is cancer, and there's so much of it - the GNU Social half of the fediverse actually does it pretty well, but the Mastodon half is mostly awful. Post-ironic-memes aren't funny. Slightly misspelling words intentionally doesn't mean you're part of some elaborate in-joke. The hidden content jokes are stale and everyone's using the same joke templates from Tumblr circa two years ago. On top of that, the meta-discourse and moderator drama is getting so bad that it sucks the fun out of the entire timeline.

I've met a lot of great people through Mastodon, and I think it's a great app overall. I particularly like that it works well on my phone, so that I can engage with the fediverse on the go. That's awesome!

There's just too many goddamned hipsters, and they're the worst offenders. They''re just perpetuating the worst parts of #Twitter and #Tumblr, and the political discourse on there has all of the depth of a Facebook comment thread.

I shouldn't feel this crotchety. I'm sorry.

most of whom know *nothing* about #Mastodon's history, or how it works, and haven't made the first bit of effort to find out who they are, look carefully at Trump's executive orders, and who they're transferring power to

andstatus mmn , thefaico

@mmn @sylvhem I guess #Mastodon developers see "entire world" as consisting of controlled/compliant Mastodon instances only :-(

mmn gnusocial , Patrickme

@patrickme !GNUsocial is another piece of software entirely that has some features that #Mastodon lacks and vice versa.
