With the current #openweb reboot going on there's a lot of default thinking that is bad, and we do need to learn to judge between the good and bad paths if it's to live up to its potential. Let's start to give examples: http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/2020/11/16/outreaching-the-openweb/
@dsfgs @witchescauldron yeah i get it & agree. I suspect some of this is stemming from the mic article but keep in mind that I don't write the article or draft the ?s. Also a lot of the promo around Kolektiva.social is around letting folks know that this is anarchist friendly much like others promote theirs around interests like hacking for example but the conversation is ALWAYS around the fact that this is all part of the fediverse and that people can find their niche and not about competition
@franklinlopez @dsfgs yep, lets build a wide network of #openweb projects :
Our #indymedia news reboot codebase is going well the first test sites should be live with in a week. @bob @msaunders whats our rivised rollout date :)
@witchescauldron @franklinlopez @dsfgs @msaunders What is #indymedia? Will it be federated?
@realcaseyrollins yep you can join the dev here - needs lots of UX feedback https://unite.openworlds.info/indymedia/epicyon/issues and https://unite.openworlds.info/indymedia/indymedia-reboot/issues
@realcaseyrollins nice UI on your instances.
@realcaseyrollins @counterfedi yep clean and simple... we need to update our mastodons I feel.
@witchescauldron @counterfedi Thanks man! I’m actually not running #Mastodon, but rather #Soapbox on the #Pleroma BE
@realcaseyrollins @counterfedi yep how are you finding that? we are thinking of codeing a #indymedia frount end on #Pleroma so intrested in people expirence.
@witchescauldron @counterfedi I actually don’t do any of the dev work, @lain and @alex are a couple of the top devs
The cool thing about #Pleroma is, it’s generally far faster and more lightweight than #Mastodon.
"Top devs" might be misleading. Pleroma has a ton of people that work on it, and that team has changed over time.
@realcaseyrollins
Hi RCR, do you mean they are the top maintainers of your instance?
The thing we hear is great about Pleroma is that it federates well with both the #clearnet and #PermissionlessInternet (Tor/I2P). Though I've yet to work out why the others cannot operate over Tor. #Pleroma still requires #JavaScript for example.
Agree though. #Soapbox looks very nice.
@witchescauldron @moth @counterfedi
@dsfgs @witchescauldron @moth @counterfedi Ah I meant they are some of the primary maintainers and contributors to the code so they understand it better than I do
Pleroma's front-end uses JS, but you can swap it out for a javascript-free front end like Bloat if wanted.
@realcaseyrollins @witchescauldron @counterfedi
@witchescauldron
Great point about #protocolsVsSilos!
Yes, don't ever promote a single site when talking about #searx or #invidious for example.
#VideoSites and #videoServices tend to fall into this trap a lot. Lately people have been pushing #videoServers that don't even host to #TorBrowser users who block #JavaScript.
Keep up the great work and fight, Hamish!
