"A simple guide to consultative decision making on & off Loomio"
@Literally
> subscribe to #loomio from Mastodon
Actually, why would you want to do this?
Anyway, if Loomio can implement Slack and Microsoft integration (and RSS, which I didn't know was there), I am sure Mastodon integration in Loomio is feasible. But yeah, why should they do that on top of serving up RSS already.
Maybe you just need a multi-protocol client like ... I don't know.
Sorry for the harshness @mobilizon but #Loomio wipes the floor with #Mobilizon :-[] it even beats Mobilizon at federated identity using good old e-mail. There is something to be said for designing for human interaction, instead of fussing over misusing the shiny new ActivityPub protocol bottle created originally for mailing lists wine.
@cybastl maybe Delta Chat has had the right idea all along for digital natives, GMail dominance not withstanding. For digital non-natives, the jury is still out on how to leverage phonenumbers without @domainname in a federated set-up.
Lament on auth in the Fediverse
I want to read from and post to #Lemmy communities from my #Mastodon account. I need to register on every Lemmy instance of interest? I know #ActivityPub is flexible and Mastodon uses a different "profile" of it than Lemmy. But I can't post a basic note to Lemmy from Mastodon? What use is ActivityPub, given that this situation is no better than posting from Mastodon to Wordpress?
It doesn't seem to count that #Hubzilla/#Zot got all this right ages ago with #OpenWebAuth. If Lemmy instances and Wordpress instances and Mastodon instances were Hubzilla/#Zap instances, it would just work.

@neil There are many Firefox forks which would address these issues such as LibreWolf, GNU Icecat, etc.
But the main issue that one needs to consider is the monopoly of Chromium in the web space. Ditching Firefox for a Chromium-based browser only makes this worse, regardless of the one you choose.
The Chromium monopoly gives Google near-total control over web standards, decreases incentives for cross-browser support (e.g, Skype only works on Chromium-based browsers) and would ultimately leave Google as your last-man-standing with ultimate reign over the web. Not really an ideal scenario, is it?
While these Chromium-based browsers may be ungoogled, hardened and have nice slick UIs etc., switching to them will result in a huge net-loss for everyone in the long term.
@praveen thank you and others behind this commendable effort to engage with people "where they are", it is refreshing in the age of so many free/open projects Slack-ing off on comms (pun intended).

How To Create A Channel Interconnected With #Telegram, #IRC, #XMPP, #Matrix | Free Software Community of India
@praveen sure, thanks for responding. I think #ActivityPub gets credited for the popularization of fedi, but #XMPP and e-mail have always fitted it too. Anyway, moot if Quicksy brand leverage isn't compelling.

#Humour makes getting a valid point across easier.
-------------------------------
In Estonia, a mom is visiting the zoo with her kid. Next to them stands a man who is drinking beer.
They are standing next to a crocodile pool.
The kid falls into the pool. Guy drops his beer and immediately jumps into the water and saves the boy.
Mom says "You're such a brave Estonian man! Thank you for saving my son!"
Guy says "I'm not Estonian, I'm actually Russian!"
Headline in the news the next day: "Drunk Russian steals crocodile's lunch!"

@TheGibson
I've been taking a look at the new EU feeds, and boosting some relevant ones because this is a pilot. It's important for us on here to boost and engage with the accounts. So if folks have health and environmental, political interest in the EU, please follow and boost/engage with the posts.
Because it's a pretty big deal and people like @how, @humanetech, @cwebber and @NGIZero worked hard to get the commission to consider being on Mastodon

Superstition, data collection, metadata
With folklore, folks used to be cautious about what to do with hair and nail clippings. As those could give a witch or sorcerer power over you.
We have this now with our electronic clippings, we give our clippings to social networks and that gives a whole heap of power to them and to the buyers of that data who can then analyse it.
There's an analogy for you. 😏

people get super caught up dreaming about the mythical revolution they forget that systems are hard and even when people mean well they still gotta figure the shit out.
partly why i joked about studying chaos theory > economics

By the way: @haiku 's first GTK3 applications, Inkscape and GIMP, are now available in the package repositories...
@floppy you are accessing the server via VPN, so even IRC should be OK - maybe just go with whatever suits the software running across the home network?
