"I’m going to describe a few unfortunate things that can happen in a #decentralized world, then look at a basic built-in feature of the Web that might make the problems go away." - https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/04/16/Decentralized-Schemes

if you know good repos to seed, hit me up!
Good piece by @timbray on decentralizing schemes https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/04/16/Decentralized-Schemes
I used to be an avid member of #DeviantArt, but have since been uninspired by the mass production of AI-generated art. I am not only an #artist but also an #artlover. I used to enjoy discovering new #art and artists on that platform but, unfortunately, all the artists are getting buried amongst the AI. You literally have to sift through the shit in order to find real art. I also removed my #Instagram account; I prefer #decentralized #opensource platforms. Hello, #Fediverse, my new home!

@lettosprey if only we had a not only feasible, but already widely implemented, community driven and supported paradigm for #FOSS , #federated, #decentralized, flexible and impervious to corporate bullshit #SocialMedia platform , like uh, #fediverse ?
Oh, wait...
David Irvine on why a peer to peer network needs something different from blockchain, why we need to be disrupted from our ‘collectivism’ and self-improving AI.
A useful find for #UbuntuTouch : delta chat which works natively very well and is a good replacement for fluffy chat which doesn’t seem to exist anymore…. 
Is also available for all sorts of other platforms including iOS

What I miss the most is an #AddressBook for #SocialNetworks and the #Fediverse #Decentralized #Interoperable. A spreadsheet is just a decent solution for the moment. For Friends, Clients, Partners, Groups, Thematic interests, you name them... Nothing like this with Buffer, Publer, Metricool, SocialBee, etc
The next massive feature for software and platforms for #SocialMedia Management, is a Contact manager:
"it's a #publicBenefitCorporation"
that has no legal bite
it means a company *may* pursue ill defined "public benefit" instead of profit
it doesn't *have* to
shallow feel good marketing
"it's #decentralized"
in theory
like #cryptocurrency hype, #bluesky promises a lot and delivers little, and #FOMO dum dums buy into the promise rather than the reality
it's only a matter of when, not if, the #crypto bro owners of bluesky do to it what #musk did to #twitter
#RESTful #API design advice wanted.
I'm blundering my way through my first #REST API implementation (for a #decentralized storage network.)
I have several APIs working but still unsure about how these should work to support different client styles and use cases.
For example, someone suggested custom headers for metadata which I wasn't aware was an option! How to code binary data in a JSON payload is another of many questions I have.
Can you point to design guides or best practice examples?

The more I read, the more I understand, the more I think #bluesky is a #decentralized scam.

I'm looking for some insight on why it's NOT a good idea to build next #decentralized project on #ATproto (#BlueSky) and stick to #ActivityPub?
By quickly glancing through the ATP docs, it seems like a much more pleasant experience to work with over AP but there's probably more to it than just the technical part.
Can anyone #help me understand any atproto downsides?
People r really stressing about the #TikTok shutdown, luckily we know about #decentralized #tech or else we probably would be too! Come join us this Sunday at our Virtual #FarmersMarket from the comfort of ur home & become part of what we're building from the beginning! #gardening #farming #memes
