At least the video ID is still valid in those cases. It takes a few seconds to combine it back into a youtube.com URL but it works.

Yeah i suggeated this a while ago on here for both lemmy and mastodon. Creating user or community groups would be big for new user onboarding.

Enshittification would be if they took away the ability to link your own domain and required everyone to buy domains through Bluesky.

And that (including other restrictions) is exactly what they will do as soon as anyone that is selfhosting does something that they or their investors dont like. Whats so hard to understand about this.

Ofcourse they need money, but the problems is that the money will be dictating their entire decision making progress. Thats how for profit companies work. If you think companies are your friends then im sorry for you.

Ah yes “perfectly reasonable” to give away control over your supposedly freely federated service to some profit motivated company. Toddler ass logic. They can revoke that right at any moment for whatever reason.

Its so blatantly obvious that bluesky is already looking for ways to make profit. The enshittification cycles are getting shorter and shorter. Soon they will try to travel back in time to create even more shit.

Its a rack mounted rack without the server.

The matrix protocol is a good example to prove you wrong. It has been popularized in the past 5-6 years (i.e. this era of the internet) it has well over 100 million users and growing, is being used in hundreds of universities and wont stop growing, is being used by government bodies all over the world and has unified most of the software dev landscape into one protocol. Its hard fucking work and you have to start with exactly those groups which are easier to convince and then you can move on to the average consumer. Thats how email did it and thats how matrix will do it.

Nevertheless email stays the defacto standard for business communication and has stayed intercompatible with a wide range of clients, servers and plugins. So this graph could be better but is apparently not a big issue as long as companies and unis keep running their own servers, forcing big tech to stay with the standards.

After email comes matrix. If you include all systems based on matrix, there are hundreds of millions of users already.

Hyperfocused nerdism does that to a mfer. Whatever coding aspect people are interested in, will get improved, while all the rest stays untouched.

Middle mouse clicking posts to open them in a new tab, when? Mastodon web is unusable for me until this gets implemented.

With these sites its actually not even a metaphor at all. Its a literal accessibility issue because closed sites like twitter and reddit dont allow open API access for apps building features for blind or deaf people.

Which in turn means discord must be able to harvest all the data otherwise it wouldnt be able to connect.

I hope thats what they will do but i very much doubt it. Looking at her track record makes me think that she has no good intemtions with mozilla.

Fair enough. It was kind of an exaggeration i guess.

Do you know what “figure of speech” means?

I doubt it tbh. A static wordpress site is infinitely less complex than something that constantly needs to take in and distribute content from/to thousands of endpoints with potentially many different api versions on the other side.

Im not that deep into activitypub stuff but from my understanding, automatic updates are not really a good idea in this case.

I just feel like the obvious choice is to build a system to seamlessly connect from activitypub to an existing secure messaging platform. Reinventing the wheel like this is just a waste of resources imo.

Yeah i am not a fan of services trying to cover all needs that people might ask for. This is a public forum system, if you start adding things like this to it, the protocol will become bloated real fast.

Also idk how they want to implement this, but proper multi client e2ee is complicated as fuck. Are they going to store keys in the browser? How will it work with non official clients? How do keys get transferred between clients?

This is a hugely time intensive project and if you fuck it up, people will be more mad than if you just didnt do it.
