Bio: "Your Digital Workshop. We build websites and host them, as well as create content for your social media."

Posts: all on a bunch of different communities. All of them short, just one or two sentences.

If they were shutting down their mastodon instance but continuing their efforts to work on Social Media that is open and not just an instrument of Surveillance Capitalism, you'd have a point.

But they didn't. They shut down the instance because of some internal political struggle and their interest in becoming an ad company themselves.

This may be possible with a basic web stack

"basic web tech stack" is quite a bit hand-wavy, don't you think?

Yeah, indieweb sites could do a lot of things: authn and authz, content syndication, backlinking, Social Graph, etc. But none of them had been standardized and put into one single protocol. ActivityPub is precisely this protocol.

Saying that "we can do that with a basic web stack" is not that different from saying "we can have a protocol to publish XML content without styling using a basic web stack, why do we need RSS or Atom?"

That, and to let people get auto subscribed to all the communities that are corresponding to the redditor subscribed subreddits. It solves the onboarding problem completely.

Do you mean exclusive/tiered access to certain rooms only for subscribers?

If you are telling me that such a thing doesn't exist for Matrix already, you just gave me a perfect thing to offer on communick

Not that I hold the Lemmy devs in particular high regard, but unless OP is cutting them a check every month enough to pay their full time salaries, I really don't think that he should be expecting anything just because he faced an issue that was difficult, but (a) not specific to the developers but the admins of the instance and (b) ultimately solvable.

I also think that this is not a reason to justify a whole fork or even a fully adversarial position. Yeah, tooling for moderation and instance management is lacking, but these can be built on top of the existing codebase. If my fediverser tool does that for user authentication and account management, it could also be extended for content moderation and provide granular access for staff.

Not to diss an open source project, but Faircamp is "just" a static site generator for artists that want to showcase their music. It has no storefront, can no communicate with customers, etc. People need a lot more than a nice-looking playlist .

If you are considering an alternative for Bandcamp, may I contact you? I am working on something that I hope can both be useful for artists looking for a mor stable income stream and music listeners who want an alternative to Spotify.

Why bother with BlueSky over Mastodon?

Bluesky's model of federation fixes the whole "if my instance goes down I lose everything".

Your Identity and your data is portable, which means that each server on Bluesky is "merely" a service provider.

Could you please write the same comment, but without the namecalling for what seems to be an honest mistake?

Good Lord, for all the talk about the Fediverse being a nicer place than corporate-controlled social media, comments like yours really show how that is very far from the rule.

Exactly! The only way that we can make sure that the Internet is not controlled by anyone is to make it available for everyone. If we are fighting for an open internet, we need to understand that this type of thing will be part of the package.

Somewhat related: do we have a more up-to-date mapping between reddit <-> lemmy ?

sub.rehab is not accepting new links, redditmigration is recommending some instances that have been abandoned or closed, etc. I have now over 4000 subreddits at https://portal.alien.top and only mapped ~150 of them. If none of these mapping projects are going to be maintained, perhaps I should a similar functionality to fediverser itself?

There was no "Extinguish". XMPP still continues on.

By the way, Facebook also did the same. The original Facebook Messenger was based on XMPP as well.
