To everyone in the #Philippines , (c.im)
 

To everyone in the #Philippines ,

- Do not forget to fully charge all your gadgets and powerbanks!
- Buy extra prepaid load
- Enable 7–30 days worth of unlimited Internet / mobile data
- Buy food if you haven't already (we tend not to because we're too used to typhoons)
- Secure your roof, houses, espically those that can be carried by strong winds

Well, you know the drill!

@StrixUralensis It's "I Am Not A Lawyer". It's usually used when giving advise and suggestions that borders on law, since many countries have provisions against giving law-related advises.

Another one is TINLA, short for "This Is Not Legal Advice".

Supporedly, saying either or both IANAL and TINLA prevents potential problems if what you said ended up damaging someone. I'm not sure, but I think those two are the only court recognized "disclaimers". 🤣

I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website. (c.im)
 

I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup@mastodon.social 's awesome FediDB website.

https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&amp%3Bregistration=open

It's a tracking / shelf platform for #TV / #drama, #movies / #films, #books, and #games

Automated import from #Goodreads work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.

Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.

Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?

Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.

  • Method 1: You can add the details yourself

  • Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items

  • Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance

Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!

Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.

Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with items. It keept the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).

Check my accounts:

  • Flagship server: @youronlyone@neodb.social
  • Instance: @youronlyone@eggplant.place

Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest #OpenDB for music: #Musicbrainz

If you're in the #Fediverse social network your profile is "cloned" in every instance that has seen your content at least once. (c.im)
 

If you're in the #Fediverse social network your profile is "cloned" in every instance that has seen your content at least once.

If someone is following your account on a specific instance, every single post from that first follower are also "cloned" (sometimes it fails too).

If someone searches for your old post—those you made before someone followed you on that instance—it will also be "cloned".

Even the Mastodon® software itself works that way.

Some Fediverse software also have a public Atom/RSS feed for the entire instance and for each account where PUBLIC content are, well, viewable publicly.

By having an account on the Fediverse social network, you actually gave permission to be "cloned" because that's how it actually works.

You don't like how it works? You have the following options:
a. Go back to any walled networks like Twitter and Facebook.
b. Move to Threads but do not turn-on Federation (it's an opt-in feature).
c. Build your own social network software and platform.
d. Fork whichever Fediverse software you like and delete the ActivityPub features.
e. Live with it.
f. Try to suggest an opt-in feature for your favourite Fediverse software, like how Threads is doing it. (Or, just move to Threads, see option B above)
g. Instead of opt-in, suggest an opt-out feature and ensure it is available during the on-boarding process.
h. An allowlist feature where an account can select which instances they want to federate. (Which will probably make it less taxing on instances, too?)

I think options G and H are the best.

The default is 100% federation. Accounts can choose to opt-out entirely from federation (option G), or create their own allowlist (option H).

Yeah, both options G and H is win-win-win. But that's up to the software your instance is using if they want to implement it.

(I think there were a few forks before with option G? Not sure what happened to them, it's a rarely talked feature because it defeats the purpose of an Open #SocialWeb.)

@Agent_Karyo I haven't tried (can't currently).

But re: your (other) topic, I think you're looking for a sandbox MMO or semi-sandbox. Sadly, sandbox MMOs are rare these days (even semi-sandbox). The most we have are in the 1st Gen and 3rd Gen MMOs. Or, MUDs/MUSHes. (AoC looks promising though.)

There are many big and respectable names in the #Fediverse today. I'm curious though, where were you & what were you up to during the first 10 years of the network (2008–2018)? in c/fediverse@fedia.io

@tilefan@lemm.ee 👍🏽 For some reason, after the lockdowns, it was when things started to change. There was Elon/Twitter exodus. Then the Reddit exodus. These two events made a huge impact than all the efforts combined prior to it.

But it's still hard to pinpoint what changed. I mean, media coverage was, I think similar as in the first 10 years, it was always about "Twitter alternative" from mass media. I guess what Elon and Reddit did are the trigger point and not the media coverage of a "Twitter/Reddit alternative"?
