silverpill@mitra.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Bandwagon is Bringing Music Sales to the Fediverse2·1 month agoOne of Mitra users made a video about subs long time ago, I can’t find it now. You’re right, I should make a video too (and also a website etc etc).
But I need to finish nomadic identity first, as it is the main objective of the project.

silverpill@mitra.socialto ActivityPub@community.nodebb.org•Automatic category/community assignment on received object1·2 months agoHow it works between forums, e.g. between Discourse and NodeBB?
Can a Discourse user create a topic in NodeBB category?
Who creates/owns the context collection in this case?
silverpill@mitra.socialto ActivityPub@community.nodebb.org•Automatic category/community assignment on received object1·2 months agoIf I create a topic this way, I will be the owner of the

collection. But if the conversation is to be moderated, it should be owned by the group.Am I correct?
(there is a parallel discussion happening at https://codeberg.org/streams/streams/issues/229)
silverpill@mitra.socialto ActivityPub@community.nodebb.org•Automatic category/community assignment on received object1·2 months ago@julian Does NodeBB support creating new topics by mentioning a group/category?
I wonder how
context
should be assigned in this case.
silverpill@mitra.socialto ActivityPub@community.nodebb.org•Backfilling Conversations: Two Major Approaches2·2 months agoneither approach conflicts with the other
I don’t fully agree with this statement, because these “threading paradigms” suggest two different solutions to the problem of moderation. If the OP is the single source of truth, they can moderate the entire conversation (represented by
context
collection: Streams). If not, then each reply is independent and authors moderate only the direct replies (represented byreplies
collections: GoToSocial).In theory two solutions can be combined, but at the cost of significantly increased complexity.

They are not running Lemmy, though.If you want to run an instance yourself, check out Mitra, it supports i2p / tor federation and is easy to configure.

silverpill@mitra.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Has anyone thought about building a federated/imageboard-style alternative—something like a federated 4chan/8chan?4·3 months agoBoards are actors, and every message on the board is attributed to the board actor.
I think it would be easier to make it interoperate with microblogs than with forum-like software.
This is what ActivityPub client-to-server API was designed for.
Most servers don’t implement it, but some do:

Clients are even harder to find, and none of them are good, AFAIK

silverpill@mitra.socialto Monero@monero.town•Why doesn't Monero adopt a hybrid blockchain? (With PoW + PoS)3·3 months ago@g2devi @XMRbutterfly @monero PoW doesn’t guarantee that wealth is deserved, because computing power can be bought too. It’s a bit harder to buy than tokens, but that doesn’t change the big picture.
Monero should stick to PoW, though, because it works. It didn’t work for Firo, apparently, so they had to change it, but I am not aware of any 51% attacks on Monero.
Looks reasonable overall, but I don’t understand some of your assessments.
>Easy (Leverage email hosting services)
What are those email hosting services? If hosting and maintenance are delegated to 3rd parties, that doesn’t count towards decentralization.
>Top Provider User Share: Reddit ≈ 48.4%
Why this is not 100%?
>Very Easy: One-command Docker,
I think the easiest option is distro’s default package manager – docker is additional layer of complexity. Also some services are nearly impossible to self-host without docker, and points should be subtracted if that is the case.

I was thinking about adding

to bring FEP-1b12 and Conversation Containers closer to each other (in CC we haveAdd

).Can’t
Group
simply be into

?

I am very curious about the “emeddable” part. Is it already possible, or only planned?
>Originally there was supposed to be 1 network, run by the engine council.
Yes, but then the devs decided to not take risk. That makes sense, and I don’t see why there shouldn’t be another network.
Fragmentation might negatively impact user experience, but it is not a huge problem, and it can be mitigated by implementing federation. I even suggested a possible architecture when federation was discussed in the matrix room.
