#JustBetweenUs

I've just sent the first end-to-end-encrypted #MLS messages from one #Emissary instance to another.

News from around the USA really has me down, so it's important to celebrate the little wins 🎉

And, there's still so much to do. But with equal quantities of luck and caffeine, I can screencast some early prototypes for you before too long.

I believe #E2EE is important for the #Fediverse because it will give us more ways to use this network, and expand what people can do here.

Love this collab between toot.wales and @newsmast to make joining the Fediverse simpler 🙏🏼

what are some trusted resources to follow iranian news?

@emanuelecariati@varese.social @tommi@pan.rent ​parliamone 😊 la prossima release (1.0.1) contiene molti miglioramenti sia a livello di performance che di user experience...💪

X has become the Everything App that Elon always wanted, if “everything” means all the tools you need to fuck up someone’s life, in one place. https://www.404media.co/grok-ai-sexual-abuse-imagery-twitter/

The #Forkiverse as a model: ie converting podcast audiences to an instance makes a lot of sense.

It helps people pick a smaller instance (which still stops people joining the #fediverse) and it immediately has reach beyond the community (unlike say a discord server)

If this was to become the norm though it would need to be very very easy to do and I imagine the cost of this will rack up pretty quickly.

@deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org thanks 🙏 we're close to ship the 1.0.1, which includes quite a lot of performance improvements and bugs fixing for a minor release (and actually new features as well) eager to get feedbacks !

I'm honestly really stoked to see federated Groups take shape in #Bonfire.

The potential is absolutely enormous, and could provide a streamlined and comprehensive way for group interactions to be viable for more platforms in the network.

mas.to/users/kissane/statuse... ​straconsiglio questo articolo di @kissane@mas.to !

É un affresco potente e lucido dei presenti che stiamo attraversando. Ammiro tantissimo chi, scrivendo, riesce a mantenere complessità, idee, opinioni e contraddizioni tutte insieme, senza ostinarsi a cercare soluzioni a tutti i costi, o come dice donna haraway, é capace di "restare a contatto col problema" ❤️

@cypherhippie@chaos.social @samvie@chaos.social @cbase@chaos.social @offene_netzwerke@eupolicy.social ​looking forward to read some notes about them!!

I'll be hosting these 3 sessions at this years #39c3 🚀

All are connected to open networks and social #sovereignty.

We will speak about 🇪🇺 #advocacy for #social #networks based on #open #protocols like #ActivityPub or #ATproto

Also about our 4 demands for #opennetworks ✊ #EDIC

Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes

Join the workshop at #39C3!

NEW DATE: day 4, TODAY at 13:40 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.

Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?

This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.

• What does it mean to federate knowledge repositories?
• Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?

These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.

Some further, more specific, insights and questions:

• Local-first approaches and software (e.g. Reflection)
• Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as Ibis
• What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like Anytype
• The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as Obsidian does
