Poliverso - notizie dal Fediverso ⁂
Poliverso - notizie dal Fediverso ⁂
@notizie@poliverso.org  ·  activity timestamp 2 days ago

Il futuro era federato, un esperimento necessario che rivelò il vero obiettivo: non la federazione, ma la sovranità. Il post di @setto su #Nostr

Una tesi di laurea in un viaggio attraverso l'evoluzione dei social media decentralizzati e la necessità di una cittadinanza digitale attiva e consapevole, con tutto il potere e i pericoli che ciò comporta.

nel corso degli anni, iniziarono a manifestarsi difetti nelle fondamenta. La struttura stessa che consentiva questa federazione imponeva anche fastidiose limitazioni. Mentre i nostri contenuti erano decentralizzati, le nostre identità non lo erano. Il mio io digitale e tutto il mio grafico sociale erano irrevocabilmente legati a un URL specifico. La sovranità era un'illusione; la mia identità era soggetta alla volontà di un amministratore o, se gestivo la mia istanza, questa identità era semplicemente presa in affitto da un registrar di nomi di dominio.

The modern social web needs sovereign, active and conscious digital citizenship, with all the power and danger that entails.

Read this dissertation arguing that #NOSTR's sovereign architecture is the logical next step for social media. A model where users truly own their identity and social graph.

A lot of messaging systems try to reinvent the email system but many (signal, matrix, xmpp) took over one key traditional design which we actually dropped while retaining SMTP/IMAP compatibility: server-controlled identities.

With #chatmail user identities are cryptographic and reside on end user devices only. Servers are only message relays and have no control over identities or chats, only perform fast message routing. See this fosdem talk by one of our lead developers https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/fosdem/2026/ud2218a/3F9VTU-deltachat-chatmail-relays-multi-transport.av1.webm

Hi @delta
You wrote :

Is it similar as the solution developed by #Jami #hubzilla #simplex or #nostr ? A kind of p2p with relay network?

"[In a commons] ... there are engagements with the market, they're just not capital-driven, and extractive, and predatory.

...

There can be market activity, but as many Open Source communities know, introducing money and transactionalism to that community can poison relationships. Can start to erode the community. So there's a certain trickiness to dealing with money in a commons."

"What of we took TrustRoots, this couchsurfing-like sharing platform, and rebuilt it on a permissionless, open social protocol. So they're in the process of rewriting TrustRoots so it runs on the Nostr open social protocols. So that it... doesn't have the problem that happened with CouchSurfing[.com]. So that it isn't owned by just one person - the creator - but it is... held in common by the community... who are hosts..."

This post will introduce you to the concept of decentralized social media and go over the tradeoffs between ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and Nostr. It's geared for a semi technical audience and was adapted from a [talk](../slides/decentralized-social-media/) I did at ForwardJS Ottawa.

Nostr - First Impressions

I just wrapped up the MVP to connect my website to the Fediverse by implementing a small subset of ActivityPub. Nostr is a protocol I've heard about but hadn't dipped my toes into, until today. I downloaded the Amethyst client from F-Droid.

The following are my off-the-cuff initial impressions of Nostr.

The Good

  • Creating an account was easy. I just provided a username and was immediately taken to the feed.
  • The protocol seems simple. It's "just keys and events". In some ways, this simplifies account creation and enables building simple relays that are event / task-specific (search, outbox, DM).
  • Amethyst is preconfigured with a set of default relays so it solves the empty feed problem. You just create an account, pull up the global feed, and immediately start receiving posts.
  • Live video? Given Nostr stands for (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays), live video is covered under other stuff. Still I was pleasantly surprised to see it.

Not Ideal?

  • The global feed is chaos. It's like drinking from a fire hose. There's so many posts coming in all at once it's hard to keep track.
  • Tons of DeFi content. From what I've read, there's a large DeFi community presence on Nostr. Personally, I don't care for DeFi and Bitcoin content. Building a curated feed over time though should address this issue and reduce the amount of this content I see on my personal feed.

Overall, I like what I'm seeing and curating my feed is relatively simple to do so I'm not constantly bombarded with posts from the global feed.

😔just like with ActivityPub and the Fediverse, I already know I'm going to end up running my own relay and start cross-posting content from my site to Nostr. It's just a matter of time. First I want to get my ActivityPub implementation in a more stable state where it manages itself and I can feel comfortable directing folks to subscribe to my Fediverse content through my website instead of the instance I'm currently running. Once that's done, I'll take the lessons and patterns from my ActivityPub implementation and build something similar for Nostr.

I finally got around to checking out the first episode of Revolution.social, an interview with Jack Dorsey;

https://revolution.social/episodes/jack-dorsey-on-selling-twitter-leaving-bluesky-wha/

This was an obvious choice in a way, given both were involved in the early days of Titter. But also a curious one, given that @rabble is, in his own words, a far left anarchist. While Dorsey is a tech CEO and by most accounts a right-leaning libertarian politically, and a crypto true believer.

Mike @mmasnick: " #Jack sort of vibe-coded over a weekend, I guess, a #mesh network system called #BitChat. I didn't realize it used #Nostr under the hood…"
@rabble: "It uses #Bluetooth as the primary messaging thing of discovering people. I'm a bit involved with it… We now know through looking at the App Store stuff for BitChat… we can see when a country is having a crisis because all of a sudden the BitChat installs spike up.
…today we were on a call where we were like, "What's going on in #Brazil?" Huh? Because two or three days ago, the installs spiked up and Brazil became the number one country for BitChat."

ActivityPub vs Nostr não é só sobre tecnologia.

A tecnologia é produto total da sociedade, pode ser subvertida em favor do bem comum.

Mas tecnologia não é neutra, carrega em si os valores, preconceitos e interesses dos seus criadores.

Uma é comunitária e emula relações sociais coletivas reais, com suas contradições, mas com proteção mútua.

Outra parece ter uma gênese/origem individualista e pautada pelo defesa da privacidade individual, a todo custo. A proteção/moderação recai ao indivíduo/cliente.

New blog post, a bit of an addendum to my older microblogging protocols comparison post(s) until I do an updated version at some point. It mostly just goes over a handful of big events and shifts I've personally noticed since my last post in the summer of 2024.

Is it correct to say the #Fediverse and #BlueSky are "federated" by protocol bridges? I have similar question related to #Nostr and #Threads and other bridged protocols. Given the #Fediverse is #ActivityPub, what this larger federated social web called?
