Decentralized Social Media: What Creators Need To Know About Web3 Platforms

Most people don’t think about where their social media actually lives.
And if that doesn’t sit right with you, you’re not alone. That’s a little too much power for a small group of people to wield.

Here’s the good news: A different kind of social media is starting to grow in the background. One built on openness, transparency, and user control instead of central control.

@Jazzimat posso provare solo ribrezzo per chi rivendica orgogliosamente di essere un assassino, ma provo sicuramente molto più ribrezzo per gli spregiudicati che lo circondano e che lo hanno derubato della possibilità di un vero pentimento.

La sua condanna umana più crudele non sono i (massimo) 14 anni di carcere ma la pelosa solidarietà di chi lo sta usando

    IL PENTIMENTO DI CHI STRILLAVA “LO RIFAREI SUBITO”

    @news
    *Davanti alle telecamere – consapevole della gravità delle sue affermazioni, conscio di esser visto da centinaia di migliaia o addirittura milioni di spettatori, certo di trovare il consenso o persino l’ammirazione di incazzati suoi simili, erroneamente convinto di farla franca – Mario Roggero ha sbraitato “Subito, lo rifarei subito”.

    ROGGERO SANTO SUBITO!

    @news
    *Un Paese strano il nostro, dove - per diventare un eroe o un simbolo - basta incarnare il più becero sentimento di vendetta, rincorrere tre delinquenti in fuga per cercare di sterminarli a dispetto del porto d’arma scaduto e una pistola indebitamente impugnata a spasso, sparargli senza che questi minaccino e purtroppo ucciderne solo due.

    The spam campaign attacking Writefreely instances is out of control. Can you contact the admins you know?

    @fediverse

    Yesterday I received this message from my friend @elettrona:

    Are you the one running the "writefreely blogs" bot, aka writefreely@poliverso.org? Because there are tons of English accounts full of links that post nonstop.

    And indeed, that account republishing posts from some Italian instances had a staggering amount of spam.

    This is due to a very serious vulnerability that hasn't yet been patched by the developers, but which has (obviously) started to be exploited on a large scale.

    I've notified all the Italian administrators of @writefreely instances, but I'm having some difficulty contacting the foreign ones.

    These are the ones with the most users:

    https://write.otter.homes/read
    https://infosec.press/read
    https://blog.liberta.vip/read
    https://write.tedomum.net/read
    https://val-vgms.gay/read
    https://bolha.blog/read

    But there are many others.

    Is there anyone among you who can try this or at least spread the word?

    Note: As I mentioned, the vulnerability has been known for a long time and is currently being exploited on a large scale.

    L’ODORE DEL POTERE E QUELLO DEGLI HAMBURGER

    @news
    Ci sono voluti due giorni per capire che non abbiamo sognato. Qualcuno ha ritenuto necessario sottoporsi ad “alcol test” (e non era il protagonista della scena) per garantire che quel che aveva visto non andava considerato come comprensibile frutto di una sbornia.

    @p03locke I understand your outburst, and personally, I think it's quite well-founded. However, I remind you that the problem lies in the fact that Mastodon has chosen to implement proprietary solutions that don't follow the Activitypub standard, and that almost the entire Fediverse wants to conform to this supposed de facto standard. The fact that Lemmy adopts solutions that are different from other software, but still more in line with Activitypub, shouldn't be considered a problem.

    @Phantaloons The idea would be very interesting. Could you explain it better? In fact, at first glance, it would seem simpler to run Orbot directly before launching the application.
    Perhaps rather than adding Orbot to the application, it would be better to create a RaccoOnion fork 😅

    @OpenStars

    I am not sure that you would get this unless I add your user tag @macfranc ?

    Yes, I'd still get it, even if you didn't mention me. The problem arises when you reply to someone who replied to me: in that case, I might not receive the notification. Unfortunately (as often happens), the fault lies with Mastodon, not Lemmy/Piefed.

    It is not your fault. The entire Fediverse is still being built, and it only gets better over time.:-) The fact that Lemmy + PieFed + mBin + nodeBB can intercommunicate at all is fantastic, even though yes there are some kinks remaining to be worked out:-).

    I also believe this statement. Since I've been an instance administrator (Friendica, Lemmy, NodeBB, and Mastodon Glitch-soc), I've always been concerned with how the Fediverse software integrates with each other and with spreading knowledge of the various platforms

    My intention was to make light of the reasoning behind criticism of your post, while pointing out to Threadiverse users that once you get past that, the actual content is quite solid. So less “wall of text” than merely “odd-looking introduction”. It’s a good post!

    Thank you for your feedback. It's somewhere between a press release and an informational post about the Fediverse. I'm only surprised because, usually, the criticisms about length come from Mastodon users, not Lemmy users...

    And yeah the giant text looks weird, haha! 😂

    Usually, the problem is solved at the user interface level. BBCode and Markdown have a certain number of standard levels for titles, and it's up to the final interpreter (the interface) to manage their display based on the tool (desktop browser, mobile browser, mobile app, etc.).

    Especially since at first it is a repeat of the title, but then goes into new territory after that. I do not know if there is anything that can be done about it though, except further code development on the side of all the myriad varieties of recipients of the message.

    Repeating the title, on the other hand, is the best possible solution for integrating threads opened in the forumverse by microblogging users: Lemmy takes the first 200 characters of the first paragraph and converts them into a title, disabling formatting, links, and mentions. That data, however, is re-proposed at the beginning of the post text.
    I understand there are some issues, but I don't see any better solution than this.

    I should add that, unfortunately, Mastodon's recent implementation of quoted posts has made it difficult for Lemmy to manage opening posts, because Mastodon formats posts that quote another post as:

    Re: fedilinkhttpsPost text
    

    And therefore, the title of a Lemmy thread would become
    "Re: fedilinkhttps" 🤬

    @OpenStars I'm both disappointed and amused by this inconvenience.

    Unfortunate, because my intention was to highlight the app's qualities, not to annoy as many readers as possible.

    But I'm also amused, because unfortunately, many Lemmy apps format titles poorly, transforming #/h1 tags into something like "format a gigantic title that takes up one screen for each syllable." 🤦‍♂️🤣
