  • I actually love this idea. I’m on a federated service, why do I need to go to 3 meme communities on 3 instances when I could go to “meme” and see all of them?

    Crossposts from within the cross-feed could be automatically hidden to avoid showing the same post multiple times, and then we just start spreading the word to crosspost instead of reposting. I think the only issue is that this would definitely be better to implement client-side because AP is just a protocol to move data, whereas this requires checking too many user-defined variables to make it idiomatic easily. I could be wrong though, I don’t know the AP code very well







  • You need way less money for this plan than you think. I’m still working on the framework, but start doing some research into starting a non-profit apartment complex. I believe this will be the easiest way to create a foothold to save the world.

    People in homes (non-profit apartments), food in mouths (contracts with companies to become an internal job board for tenants + start moving grocery stores into the apartments), life enriched (entertainment, travel, work-life balance)

    These are the building blocks required for life, and providing them with a servant mindset will inspire people to expect that everyone should have these. It’s the same concept of “I had it this way [hard] when I was little, you should too”







  • About a year in and a couple distro hops, the only time I’ve had something properly break on its own was when my Fedora Sway install forgot where to find font info.

    That was the last time I distrohopped, went to Endeavour and got quite cozy with the “fuck you do it yourself” mentality. If my stuff was gonna break, I should at least expect it and have plans


  • (Don’t ask how)

    I imagine you just couldn’t find the words at the time but I would have, with relative accuracy, summed this up as:

    “Each server on that web can communicate with every other server on that web by using ‘secret’ information to determine a path to get there”

    Each federated service is on its own web

    I know you said simplification to the point of inaccuracy, but while I’m being pedantic:

    “Each federated service is on its own web, but imagine they overlap with each other in such a way to bleed into a single web”
