Old, very old...in the background of my avatar, you can see the exact middle of nowhere.

(I had copied some political slogans from fedi campaigns I supported. I still support them, but the slogans may have lost their context, so I deleted them. May add more as they appeal to me. In general, I am anti-capitalist, pro-woke, and think Fedi can help organize a better economic system.)

With BlueSky moving towards finally opening up federation, I'm interested in how people feel about it?

Would you be open to the idea of Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and other Fediverse platforms adopting the AT protocol in order to federate with it?

If those technical hurdles could be overcome, would you support your instance federating with BlueSky?

Does the same go for other commercially-owned platforms, such as Threads and Tumblr?

Hell no. Let them adopt AP which is a standard.

Thanks for the tip, @liaizon

I read more of the part you quoted down-thread, about systems needing some centralized and some decentralized features. And I agree.

I have been pushing decentralization in several recent Fedi threads, but that's situational.

We started developing economic network software centralized, and then discovered the needs for network members to have their own agency. so some decent. But also to be coordinated, so some cent.

@liaizon
Agreed. It would also be interesting to tease out some of the details in Fedi-related systems, as Stafford Beer does in his own systems.

That would be a longer conversation...

@liaizon 3 hours is hard to spare these days. Maybe we can pick away at them as bedtime podcasts, at the risk of falling asleep...

I'll read more of that text, though. I can speed-read to some extent, at least much faster than listening to somebody talk.
