I don't think people here realized yet how much development has sped up in the "atmosphere*"

@liaizon looooooooool, how do people keep finding new ways for telling even harder on themselves? XD

I hope you don't mind @nicobao I federated your reply over here. As the cofounder and CTO of a company "Agora helps people overcome disagreement and find consensus, for more democratic and efficient decision-making." I would recommend doing some research into the ideologies that underline all of the decentralized protocols that exist and where they came from.

Bluesky also has its roots in other anarchist alternative networks. It takes a lot of inspiration from the core architects being involved in SSB (Secure Scuttlebutt)
@liaizon this story feels a lot like the solid project https://solidproject.org/
Big splash at the beginning, some nerds get involved... but it's been years now, and when I tried to actually use one of the apps using it, UX was atrocious and I had to join a matrix room to get it working. Now I know I'm not the l33test hacker, but come on!

@liaizon I honestly feel a little bitter. I know I haven't been working on the protocol, or committing to repos, but I've done a lot of advertizing and advocacy over the years. In the faith that the developers were acting in our interests...
And I know they have been! I don't want to sound ungrateful.
Ach I don't know. Just feels a bit like I/we wasted (some of) our time.

I fear for the future of the fediverse if we don't get our shit together in some key areas. The way the lexicon system over there allows interoperability between distinct types of data and interface is really showing now that the developer ecosystem is picking up.

@liaizon anything cool like @HolosSocial happening on AT?

@liaizon you're taking this WAY too personally, while we don't even know each other. I am very much entitled to my own opinion, btw, cofounder of Agora or not. I am not an anticapitalist anarchist, fine, so what? What the heck is this ad hominem attack? The whole point of Agora is to get people to talk to each other, people who usually don't appreciate each other, without trolling, and finding common ground. Your very reaction shows exactly why I build it.

@liaizon for me both protocols have very different success conditions. In both cases having more users off the main platforms of tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, etc is a condition. but for bsky I think it looks like total users but for fedi in think it's number of servers too.
I think that the difficulty of deploying servers was part of the reason we didn't get larger adoption. I think what fedi is great at -smaller communities having both internal and external conversations - was hampered by those groups needing to have a server deployed. The communities that would have benefited went to discord instead, and the people whov wanted microblogging wanted universal reach.
I dont know how solveable this problem was for fedi given "it's too hard to make a webserver" has been a problem since geocities.@liaizon ultimately I think we will come to regret letting the opportunity for a freer social internet slip thru our fingers in 2022. but I'm also just very pessimistic about ATP and their relay-centered architecture -

@liaizon as of the underlying protocols, again you don't know me, so stop the ad hominem attack, it feels like harassment. I stand with what I say. The very reason why you're here saying you prefer the Fediverse underlying ideology of the protocol is PRECISELY because it's not the only one. Lots of libertarians in the early days of the internet and still to this day. You despise these capitalists I know. But they have the right to exist you know?

@liaizon Seems to me that development on AT sped up *at the expense of* development on AP.
That is to say, a lot of the people who've gone all-in on AT were building here before, but have pretty much abandoned AP development. And it's worth examining why AT development was so much more appealing for those folks.

@nicobao you involved yourself in this discussion by quoting my post and calling me an extremist. I'm not taking it personally anymore then you are here. Glad to have a public discussion about the ideological basis of protocol alignment!

@liaizon this is harassment.. you're getting your crowd to shit on me and misinterpret my words. I never said anything against Palestine. Anti capitalism and anarchism is by definition a far left ideology in pretty much every democracies world wide. This is just facts. I'm entitled to my opinion, so what? You guys are acting like mobs.

@liaizon @ruben I think fediverse could still become mainstream, but maybe not through Mastodon?
I had pretty high hopes when Tumblr originally announced integrating ActivityPub, of course that's not happening anymore.
Less so with Meta's Threads, given the company's history.
Flipboard and Ghost are still putting in the effort, which is great, but those are not platforms used by regular social media users.
We really just need a new fediverse platform that's user-friendly. Seems like that's nearly impossible without VC money though, so I don't know.

@liaizon I never called YOU an extremist. I called the ideology you mentioned "anarchism, anti capitalism" extremist. It is objectively extremist since it's far left. OWN IT. Your problem is taking it as an insult. It is not an insult for me. As we discussed on Bluesky it is simply not my cup of tea. And what I dislike the most in these ideologies is precisely what you showcased here: mob mentality.

@liaizon "extreme ideology" like thinking genocide bad hmm...
@squeakypancakes @liaizon this is defamation. I was talking about anarchism and anti-capitalism. Not Palestine. Being extremist can be good, it's just being on the extreme of the political spectrum. But the spectrum can move too. It is not an insult. You guys are mobs, it's insane. Where is civility?

@liaizon "I don't want to be on the same instance as ICE"
"You must be what people call an extremist"@neauoire @liaizon this is defamation. I was talking about anarchism and anti-capitalism. Not Palestine. Being extremist can be good, it's just being on the extreme of the political spectrum. But the spectrum can move too. It is not an insult. You guys are mobs, it's insane. Where is civility here? It's supposed to be part of the moderation rules btw.

@squeakypancakes @liaizon what am I oppressing by saying anarchism and anti-capitalism is an extremist ideology? It's far left. Far. You guys are oppressing ME

I just spent some time working on adding BoostBox to stablekraft.app and I'm not 100% if the recipients even see the URL since I don't really see it in my testing.
Claude side it depends on the payment server weather or not it's passed a long which I think is correct.
I get this info in Alby from Fountain, Castamatic and PodcastGuru so I knownn be it works but I just don't know how well.

Still feels like we're beholden to the wallets doing it this way which is the point Alecks Gates was making by moving this out of the payment flow and into the feed.
All of this payment metadata stuff has always been broken and that's why Helipad on a Node is still king for all of this.
What's the fix? idk but this stuff makes my head hurt.
