@lordnikon They say “I don’t want to code to download an app”, but there’s actual app stores now on many of the most popular distros.

@Umbrias @Jamoke is that even planned for ActivityPub? I think the cross communication is so that you can participate without necessarily making accounts Mastodon, Peertube, Lemmy, Misskey, etc.

If you need main features you’d likely need a account, similar to getting access to post creation and upvote/downvote on Lemmy sites.

@OsrsNeedsF2P I never looked that into the leaks. Like another article said it doesn’t defeat encryption on chat apps but encryption means nothing if someone is already looking over your shoulder before you even hit send.

I think the Notepad++ dev put it best in his conclusion.

“Just like knowing the lock is useless for people who are willing to go into my house, I still shut the door and lock it every morning when I leave home. We are in a f**king corrupted world, unfortunately.”

@jaykay @kamasupra sorta… like I’m replying via my Mastodon account. Currently there isn’t post creation, though some googling has shown that it’s something they’re working towards.

But you basically copy the Fediverse Logo Link of a post and paste it on search in your mastodon client. It appears as a toot and you can comment; Lemmy will display it natively like this comment.

Favoriting the post on Mastodon counts as an upvote.

Communities appear as group accounts.

@Korlock @nodsocket I get what you’re saying, the internet’s always been like that. But it’s ultimately the internet themselves who pay the end price like now.

RSS was widely accepted, until google made something convenient. Now we’re back to established sites getting first dibs on what you see like old media. Then theres XMPP, man… google… Googles tender embrace turned into deadly smothering.

You can see websites attempting the same thing as Tumblr adds ActivityPub.

@Lurra @nodsocket same wasn’t that interested in Reddit/Twitter until Twitterific/Apollo came out. I tried using the regular twitter app but was too slow, and didn’t leave my feed where I left off last. Apollo was so snappy and I loved save categories.

But the Fediverse has accountability and boundaries. So generally speaking most communities that are connected closely are generally positive. Anything that falls out of line gets blacklisted, so I’ve never felt so at peace.

@garfaagel @inspxtr I think he’s saying that if you use open standards on closed source/“if it ain’t broke” systems? Kinda like how Apple mostly takes from Open Source with little give back to the communities it benefits from??
