Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁

Our goal, is to create a serene space for discussion. Nothing more.

MODERATORS
 

My goal is to average 1 post and 7 comments a week. I started late, and not there yet, but hope to get there within the next month. Do you have any goals or plans on building the Fediverse?

I heard there was a plan to do a monthly Piefed β€œhackathon” to improve Piefed, but I think that was mostly for translation. Is there any update on that or any other interesting plans out there to improve any part of the Fediverse?

I intend to use either Lemmy or PieFed, or some equivalent, to do a self-publishing site:

you know how some communities are "locked", such that only the moderators post, but everybody can comment?

An author's site, like that, but in-depth writing, not just links to for-profit-site's articles, see?

Rendering "Medium" and "Substack" and all the rest of the "if you want to be a writer who is known, you have to be within our platform" cartels irrelevant..

Income through Ko-Fi, FundRazr, etc, instead of their paywalled-"garden".

If many authors were to do that, then:

  1. authors would have DIRECT COMMUNITY, & feedback
  2. the damn "IF you want to be a writer, THEN you obey OUR for-profit platform" paradigm could permanently go eat rocks, &
  3. since federating is voluntary, spontaneous this-author-federates-with-that-one networks of writers can emerge, thus replacing the publishing-cartel's oldfangled newspapers, magazines, book houses, platforms, etc.

Book-people who understand digital-community are likely to understand this paradigm,

but the people who hold that there is ONLY 1 use for Lemmy/PieFed: that is where ANYbody can submit articles, & author-instances simply aren't tolerable, because they aren't "anarchistic" enough .. well, they can do their best to prevent this diversification-of-the-fediverse that I'm going to be doing, & hope others will, too.

I want as many competing against me as possible, see?

More fun!

PS: managed hosting is a requirement for the paradigm to work: I've ZERO interest in SysAdmin either as a profession or as a hobby ( those days are .. last-century, for me ).

Just adding that so that any other who's interested in the paradigm will know what to find, to make it work for them.
