'The group originally met through collaborating on #Nostr, an open, “apolitical” social networking protocol that has been receiving the bulk of #Dorsey’s attention since #Twitter’s sale to Elon #Musk and his stepping down from social network #Bluesky’s board. However, the team will experiment with other tools, too, like #ActivityPub' 👀

Relay nodes or "servers" are interchangeable and can be used in parallel - as long as a single relay node is reachable, including one on localhost, you have access to the p2p network.

They are proxies to do p2p on behalf of your browser

Here is the preview

...not much to see yet - and while it might not seem like it, we are getting quite close to completion🙂

Of course - we'll "make it pretty" at some later point maybe, but yeah....

A few questions:

This is very similar to what is the difference?

Without a user facing front end, it's just tech, and too complex tech at that.

What is the use case as media is public, how would this bridge to and etc?

How are external flows of news brought in (almost all news will be reported outside the native network?)

Can it run as a phone app?

I'm glad to read that. Long Form Content is the reason why I am currently experimenting
with and first with . However, I'm not warming up to Nostr (yet) Bonfire sounds good and I'm pretty sure I'll try it out and support it if it fits! Thanks for the hint / post 🖖

We need to separate identity from servers in the ActivityPub world. It's time. I should be able to have a single identity and use it with lots of servers from Mastodon to Lemmy and beyond.

Then, various instances could reflect different communities with different people in them, different features and policies.

This also would elegantly solve the "instance selection paralysis" in @tchambers 's Deadly Fediverse UX sin #1.

Fortunately @benpate is starting to assemble people to solve this.

@j12t @tchambers @benpate I mean that's pretty much how #nostr works.

This great rant by Rutger Bregman, applies entirely and fully to the #OpenSource community.
And is, I'm convinced , the primary reason why e.g. the #Fediverse isn't growing into that alternative for big-tech (or why Linux desktop never replaced Windows)

In-fighting. Binary purism. Religious fanatism and bullying of allies.

We shouldn't fight #bluesky, boycott #nostr or bully instances that federate with #threads. They are allies. Today. To get to the next step.
