When I think of a future with Open Social Media, I imagine three pillars.
1) Microblogging (ActivityPub), for sharing thoughts with strangers, ephemeral community building, and broad+global reach.
2) Forum / Stable Community (no good solution yet, AFAIK), for discussing, planning, buying/selling locally. All within a distinct group of people, membership of which can be managed.
3) Peer2Peer (Scuttlebutt?), for talking directly to friends, family, nearby people, and easily sharing files.
FediVision bot, writing a blog
The blog is unfortunately not done yet. I've had a busy day, but I've reached 3 pages now (1102 words), and I'm still not entirely done.
Close, though!
Apologies for promising it yesterday and then delaying it twice now. I really hope I can get it finished and online tomorrow, but I guess time will tell.
FediVision bot, writing a blog
I said I would post the blog today, but unfortunately writing a blog was:
* harder than I expected
* longer than I expected
* not the only thing I had on my plate today
I'm 616 words* into writing it, and I hope I can finish it tomorrow, but at least I've got plenty of notes for what I want to talk about.
(* That's almost two pages in LibreOffice Writer, and that's a lot of writing for a techie like me)
FediVision bot
Tomorrow I'll be posting a blog about running the #FediVision bot, what I did this year, and what I want to do different next year.
If anyone has feedback, suggestions, or offers of help for next years edition of Fedivision, I'll be happy to hear it tomorrow :)
I have already taken note of a few good pieces of feedback, notably that the accessibility was just not good enough this year.
How many people have made adhd / adnd jokes in the last forty years?
(I'm personally fond of ADHD 3.5, but ADHD 5th edition is good too)
Apparently the fedivision bot crashed 8 hours ago, and the built-in call for help post got posted, but failed to mention me, so I didn't see it.
It's back up now, everyone who voted in the meantime have had their votes counted (you should have received a confirmation in a reply), and the call for help post now works properly again.
The fedivision bot now replies with a direct message regardless of what visibility level you use.
That'd let you delete your vote post after getting a reply, if you accidentally made it public.
If anyone want me to delete a reply from the fedivision bot, just let me know. You can always vote again with a direct message to ensure that your vote is counted. Only last vote from each account is counted.
I wonder if Entity Component Systems (ECS) would be a good fit for a flexible and extensible activitypub server.
