New post: Can we have a more “social” media?
profpatsch.de/essays/a-more-so
On advertising, the Fediverse, and what a more human social web could look like.
Special mentions: @smallcircles, @phnt, @happy-programming
Human Web Collective
ADVERTISERS ARE NOT OUR MASTERS
SCALING IS NOT OUR DOGMA
@Profpatsch oh cool what did you build @happy-programming with?
@liaizon Right now it’s two golang files that do a half-assed job at implementing activitypub
@Profpatsch ah very cool its custom! have you published the code? I would add it to a list of implementations I help manage at delightful.club
@liaizon yeah, it’s published, but currently I’d not feel comfortable being listed anywhere, the code is really rough and I haven’t really made sure it’s free of security issues
@Profpatsch honestly seeing it running live and followable I would say you are better off then half the things listed on these lists
@liaizon Haha, that might be true. I did link it in the post, right now it lives at codeberg.org/Profpatsch/Profpa and codeberg.org/Profpatsch/Profpa
@liaizon fwiw I made & deployed some security improvements, the current security mechanisms are documented in codeberg.org/Profpatsch/Profpa
maybe @silverpill wants to take a look at whether this all sounds sensible?
@Profpatsch @smallcircles @phnt
Imageboards?
There was one that federated using ActivityPub: https://github.com/FChannel0/FChannel-Server
@silverpill @smallcircles @phnt uh, I want to stay away from image boards as far as possible, they are the opposite of healthy communities. I have no clue how my post made you think “probably image boards” lol, did I not use the word “human” enough
@silverpill @Profpatsch @smallcircles @phnt theres also oeee.cafe
