Tomorrow I'll be participating in a webinar on #privacy and the #fediverse organized by Privacy Laws and Business. I think it's an important issue -- I hope we spend more time talking about this topic.

I'm qualified yes. I do when I think of it, but not often enough.

I should be able to follow #Cara users from my Mastodon account. You can't convince me to make yet another account in a yet another silo, but I'd love to see and share more art in my home feed. Anyone have a connection to their team? Would love to chat about the #fediverse.

@Gargron @davew ActivityPub is derived from RSS specifically to implement these features (and more)

@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

@davew @Gargron the path is RSS -> Atom -> Activity Streams Atom -> Activity Streams JSON 1.0 -> Activity Streams 2.0. It's a long journey!

I should do a blog post with examples of the same content in each of these formats.

How do you feel about trust and safety on the Fediverse?

I'm glad to see this. I think effectively there are some features we need (like reply control), but I feel like we're going in the right direction.

right now I love . but something like a Personal Data Server that I can keep at home or pay somebody to manage, move whenever I want and connect to any new service that somebody develops, seems like the inevitable way forward. a blob with all my stuff as safe as I am willing pay for, where these companies are competing to be the most trustworthy and reliable. instead of having it spread out everywhere or with Google or Apple. and them pushing me to use their services.

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

@wjmaggos this is a great goal! I think a server like NextCloud can be a first step here.

Just agreed with @maj that we'll have black-eyed peas, biscuits and apple pie for supper tonight.

Democrats appear to be trying to advance former state Rep. Ron Hanks, an election denier, to the general election because the group believes he will be easier to beat in November.

@coloradosun this has proven in the past to be a bad idea.

You can do something with that kind of money. I wonder what they will.
