Ingen international indhold og selvfølgelig ingen forbindelse til det videre fedivers. Det er altså lidt frustrerende at den slags får tid i medierne mens fediverset aldrig bliver nævnt.

Så skal man også logge ind med MitID og øh… ja det er bare et no-go hvis du spørger mig personligt.

Hi, thanks a lot for your detailed message!

I totally understand the lack of faith - I mean I’ve shown nothing to earn any faith so that’s completely fair. I also share your frustration with existing apps that have shown to not improve or be good enough. That’s part of the reason why I wanted to try my hand at it myself. I feel that the status quo is not good enough and I believe in the mantra that “if someone else is doing something that you think you can do better, you should do it”.

forumverse (or threadverse) projects like Lemmy have received the main damage precisely from the incompatibility wanted by Mastodon against them;

Not sure what you mean with “damage” here, but my plan is to support all kinds of ActivityPub content, both the microblog stuff that Mastodon is known for, the forum stuff that Lemmy does and anything else from other apps. I don’t want my app to feel limited like Mastodon or Lemmy. Mastodon is very microblog-focused, Lemmy is very forum-focused. I want something that can do both and more. In some ways, this makes it harder, in other ways it makes it simpler. For instance, Lemmy makes a difference between “posts” and “comments”; they are not the same thing in the database. But in my app, comments are just another post, much like how posts work in Mastodon.

new very interesting projects like Bonfire (the only software together with Friendica and Hubzilla to manage the “circles”) are being developed with difficulty and are made up of many modules and above all do not have a decent app.

I’ve heard of these projects, but haven’t studied them in detail. I find bonfire especially confusing. I can’t seem to grok what it is - is it a server, or a framework for a server, or an app? For instance there’s this app but the code link goes nowhere. There’s also this repo with commits that look super weird. Honestly just confused about it. Anyway.

I agree that having good mobile support (including an app with great UX) is super important.

Finally, the impression I had is that even among the most famous developers of the Fediverse there is a bit of ignorance about Activitypub, about other platforms and about how other developers have solved the same problems; also it seems that the “Masters of the Fediverse” are always in a bad mood and have less and less desire to learn new things (a praiseworthy exception is Matthias Pfefferle).

I’ve tried to learn a lot about ActivityPub and I understand it fairly well at this point I would say. I’ve participated a bit at https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ where ActivityPub is discussed at length. I’m not sure what “Masters of the Fediverse” refers to but I definitely am a curious soul and I think continuous learning is super important :)

Creating a federated software is therefore not a very simple thing neither technically nor psychologically, but if you feel capable of doing it, perhaps it could be advisable to test yourself a bit:

• developing some web utilities, some plugins or less ambitious projects
• actively contributing to other existing projects (Friendica? Bonfire?)
• getting familiar with both the Mastodon API (which is an industry standard) and with the development and definition of APIs in general: when someone wants to write an app for your software, they will look at your code and in two minutes they will decide if it is worth doing!

I appreciate your concern, but I am a professional software engineer so I’m not so worried about the scale of the project. Rest assured, I have worked on very large projects professionally and built plenty of things in side projects, most of them related to the web. I also administrate Feddit.dk so I have experience with hosting a Lemmy instance and all the complexity that brings.

I particularly enjoy Rust, and I did actually look into contributing to Lemmy (since that uses Rust in the backend) at first before I started my own project. Unfortunately, Lemmy’s code is… not where I would like it to be (both of Lemmy’s main devs learnt Rust while working on Lemmy, and it unfortunately shows in the code quality), and the direction of Lemmy is not the direction I want to take my project, as stated above. I want something more general than a Reddit clone, though it will be inspired by Reddit/Lemmy in some ways (I plan to use up/down votes to sort content, for instance).

I have no interest in contributing to Friendica, as the direction seems bad, as noted in the post above. Besides, it’s PHP and I really don’t want to touch that. Hubzilla is also PHP and seems much to technical for general users, so once again not viable. Bonfire seems to be Elixir which I don’t know either, but again I am super confused about what Bonfire even is. All these reasons and other reasons are why I wanted to do my own project.

I don’t agree with you that the Mastodon API is an “industry standard” - it may be widely used, but Mastodon is continually forcing its own ideas of the Fediverse on the rest of the ecosystem, which I don’t like and is something that is often bemoaned on https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/. But rest assured that I am very familiar and comfortable with APIs (again, professional software engineer 🙂). I care about documentation a lot and from the start, my prototype backend has exposed its API via an OpenAPI specification so that clients can be easily generated. I’m actually about to use this OpenAPI spec to generate a client myself as I start work on the frontend 🙂.

Again, thanks a lot for your thoughts and attention! If you have any concrete feedback on the UI and/or UX of Lemmy, Mastodon, Friendica or other apps, I’d love to hear it, as I’m starting work on the UI for my own frontend these days. For instance, any favourite UI of a fediverse app, any preferred features or any common mistakes or pitfalls that should be avoided, if you have any thoughts along that direction.

Specialet blev lidt noget lort

Husk at alt over 02 er spildt arbejde 😉 og der er meget få mennesker der går op i hvilken karakter du har fået, så længe du har diplomet. Tillykke med det forresten!

De har det over det hele i Japan, også i offentlige toiletter! Det kan altså noget. Har selv overvejet at anskaffe mig et, ved bare ikke hvilken model det skulle være.

I suppose this community is as good as any. But it’s difficult to talk in general about this as each fediverse app has different performance needs/characteristics, so I’m not sure if you can extrapolate anything in general. But perhaps?

Altså, svarer han ikke rimelig afklaret på spørgsmålet?

- Er det forsvarsministeriets politik, at vi er nødt til at være klar til at tage Grønland og Panama med magt om nødvendigt?

- Vores job i forsvarsministeriet er at have planer for enhver eventualitet, siger Hegseth.

Det er jo logik for burhøns. “Enhver eventualitet” inkluderer selvfølgelig en invasion af Grønland. Så han svarer jo at ja, selvfølgelig har forsvarsministeriet en plan for den “eventualitet”.

Det er fuldstændig sygt at vi samarbejder med en nation der siger at de har forberedt planer om at invadere os.

Why shouldn’t the donation model keep working? Wikipedia works on donations, why can’t the fediverse?

Feddit.dk is not a huge Lemmy instance but I’ve managed to not have to pay anything so far due to generous user donations. It works quite well I think. I think Mastodon is just not quite as effective in gathering people like this to donate, that’s my guess at least.

Jeg håber virkelig også at det er et wake-up call til resten af verden. Desværre har det også fodret en Trump-lignende tendens i Europa, se fx Polens nye præsident eller AfD i Tyskland.

I thought I would be able to miss my home country when I left. Now I can only mourn that what I left doesn’t exist anymore.

Mit forsøg på en oversættelse: “Jeg troede jeg ville være i stand til at savne mit hjemland da jeg forlod det. Nu kan jeg kun sørge over at hvad jeg forlod ikke findes mere.”

Måske ordvalget var lidt hårdt. Jeg tror mit problem er den måde artiklen er skrevet på. Hvis du spørger mig så oser den lidt for meget af sådan en stemning om “det her er mystisk, der er en sandhed bag som ingen ved”, hvilket er lige den slags retorik som konspirationsteoretikere elsker at høre. Det er desværre meget nemt for nogle at gå fra det over i “der må være noget der holdes hemmeligt for os”.

Jeg ser det som en glidebane. Man kan se hvor det ender hen hvis du kigger på UFO-entusiaster og UFO-observationer i USA, som er stukket helt af. Jeg synes det er uforsvarligt at rapportere omkring de her emner på den måde.

Synes næsten det er pinligt så meget tid DR bruger på den slags konspirationsteorier. Det giver sikkert en masse klik men det er også nærmest uansvarligt.

Vi kan sagtens blive enige om at der burde være langt mere barsel, men det er jo noget der koster penge og det er desværre ikke noget politikerne har prioriteret ordentligt, virker det som om.

Så vidt jeg kan læse mig til så var der før 2 uger til hver ved fødsel, så 14 uger til mor og 32 uger til deling. Det ville have været et virkelig godt løft hvis man bare havde givet fædrene 14 uger øremærket også. Så har man jo per automatik 2+14+14+32=62 ugers barsel, et godt stykke over et år. Det burde vi klart have gjort, men pengene var de ikke villige til at bruge. Der var jo krise og vi var jo nødt til at fjerne store bededag… Jeg bliver lidt træt vil jeg sige.

Det er fair, jeg grinte da også af din kommentar 😂. Ville bare pointere det alligevel :)

hvis man kunne slippe for barslen så gjorde man da selvfølgelig det, ellers var man jo ikke en “rigtig mand”.

Nøj jeg bliver frustreret af at høre sådan noget. Det er da det værste vås. Giftig maskulinitet når det vil noget. Det er også på en måde sørgeligt at de har så indskrænket en opfattelse af hvad en “rigtig mand” er. Fædre er rigtige mænd!

Regel 1 (høfligheden) er vigtigst over for andre brugere - man må gerne udtrykke sig vredt, så længe det ikke bliver alt for ubehageligt. Trusler og den slags er fx ikke tilladt, det hører ind under regel 3 (dansk lov) i stedet for regel 1. Jeg sætter pris på at du modererer dig selv, men det er heller ikke fordi man behøver at sætte sig selv i spændetrøje :)

Ja det vil selvfølgelig give mere frihed for den enkelte far og mor - men alle ved da godt hvad det vil resultere i? Fædre vil generelt tage mindre barsel og lønforskellen mellem mænd og kvinder vil forblive/forværres. Man kan jo ikke have ligestilling af løn uden ligestilling af barsel.

Er der nogen der eventuelt har adgang til artiklen og kan se hvad de siger til den problemstilling, hvis det da bliver nævnt?

It’s very early. I have a prototype backend server and I’m currently starting work on the frontend. If you have any inputs on features, UX, UI, or anything else that you maybe are missing from existing fediverse apps, I’d love to hear from you, as some preliminary feedback. But again, it’s early so there is not much to track yet. But thank you for the interest :)

Jeg håber inderligt at det ikke som sådan er internettets skyld, men de store sociale mediers skyld. Deres algoritmer har ingen respekt for vores mentale velvære. Det handler udelukkende om penge. Det fører ikke noget godt med sig.

Jeg håber virkelig det er muligt for os at lave et bedre internet. Vi skylder i hvert fald hinanden at prøve.

But you’re not saying it’s just “precursors” - it sounded like you were saying the fediverse will never become mainstream. Never is a long time, I would say.

Jo… til gengæld slipper du for presset resten af tiden. Man kunne jo også have terminsprøver for at øve sådan en optagelsesprøve. Fx kunne man jo prøve de prøver fra foregående år osv. Men jeg medgiver at det nok ikke er den perfekte løsning.
