Post subject: | "Framing Federation" from Adam Newbold |
Adam Newbold, founder of Neatnik LLC & omg.lol (omg.lol houses a Mastodon instance, social.lol, in which Adam is the admin), just released this essay on his blog all about how we should be viewing how federation over ActivityPub is handled. Please read the full essay here, it's great. The analogy of the Fediverse and Email has been used for a while when talking about servers/instances (I even used it in my ancient ramble about the platform), but using it to describe how we should think of "defederating" is kinda genius to me. Like I never thought of how an email service like Fastmail would NEVER block emails from Gmail coming in, it's an insanely destructive action to the email ecosystem. And it should be seen as destructive in the Fediverse ecosystem as well. Blocking an instance as big as Threads is ruining hundreds of thousands of connections from being made and it practically destroys that the open social web should be standing for. Some Quotes I Liked:

This is interesting and I had no idea Threads was a fediverse instance (is that the right terminology?) |

yeah pretty much. they have opt-in support for connecting your Threads profile with ActivityPub. |

yeah that's what I thought when Threads came out too lol. but Meta's recent policies are all but not great, which is what has been inspiring people wanting to block Threads on the fediverse again. (probably should've included this context) https://www.platformer.news/meta-new-tr ... te-speech/ |
