Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?

I use Emacs and love it. It’s an amazingly frustrating (and just plain amazing) piece of software, but it’s hard to move away from it because it’s the only thing like it. Maybe if Lem every gets mature enough I might switch.
I probably wouldn’t recommend it though as it doesn’t sound like what you’re looking for.
I’ve seen it mostly touted as an alternative to Substack.
Why would you go on a date with someone if you didn’t know their religious opinions (favourite init system)???
Just an fyi, but you’ll probably want to include the URL in the crosspost so people on the original post can see it’s been crossposted there.
Nostr isn’t part of the Fediverse? It’s not even federated.
He stirs a lot of shit on his Mastodon account and gets into spats with other fedi devs. Just the other day he got into a one-sided spat with the GtS dev because the GtS dev implemented a feature to randomise the number of active users, which led to goblin.technology topping pixelfed.social in the FediDB charts. He then accused them of doing this to undermine him specifically, of wanting to ‘de-legitimize Pixelfeds growth’, despite it being explicitly a privacy feature.
You’re probably getting downvoted (I didn’t just fyi) because it wasn’t really relevant to the discussion. No one’s disputing if cannibalism is natural, I was just trying to point out that killing and eating children is natural and yet still morally wrong to do.
Killing and eating your children has been observed among a great many species, particularly reptiles and mammals.
What where we talking about again?
There are plenty of things that are ‘natural’ that are wrong to do, why is eating meat any different?
IDK, how software fetches profile info is implementation dependent, so you’d have to dive into the source code or wait for him to post and see if you get it.
And you can see in my photo that I’ve followed Dansup but his profile is still not showing any posts or even a profile picture.
His last post was 4 days ago so there hasn’t been anything new enough to send to you. Try following his Mastodon account, he uses it a lot more.
I also have several posts that predate my server in the global feed from accounts I have not followed.
Someone you followed may have boosted them, old posts will show up if the boost happens after you follow them.
Lemmy 0.20 will support comment images the way Mastodon/Frendica does them.

Super janky, but kinda works.
I’m seeing Ghost as a Substack killer, as that is a toxic swamp we need sensible folk off. Nearly everyone who had a newsletter migrated there. Only one listened to their fans and backed straight out again.
I always thought a newsletter was just a specialised blog, but maybe that’s wrong. I heard about the Substack allowing Nazis on there, so understandable why people would want off.
They already know, it’s just fediverse developers are radically anit-VC so reject any offers out of principle.
Tumblr is now on ActivityPub
Is it? I know it’s been moved to Wordpress, but I haven’t heard about this.
Ghost can apparently be used to manage multiple blogs under different subdomains. Might be worth looking into when their ActivityPub supports goes out of early access.
He lists examples in the article.
Once upon a time, we had a solid way of overcoming the problem of lock-in. We’d reverse-engineer a proprietary system and make a free, open alternative. We’ve been hacking fire exits into walled gardens since the Usenet days, with the creation of the alt.* hierarchy:

When the corporate owners of Unix started getting all weird about source-code access and user-modifiability, we didn’t insist that Unix users were bad people for sticking with a corporate OS. We reverse-engineered Unix and set all those users free:

The answer to Microsoft’s proprietary SMB network protocol wasn’t a campaign to shame people for having SMB running on their LANs. It was reverse-engineering SMB and making SAMBA, which is now in every single device in your home and office, and it’s gloriously free as in speech and free as in beer:
ability to import a Bluesky profile to Mastodon or the *key forks
Building an ActivityPub application (APlication?) that uses AT protocol’s PDSs would be pretty interesting. Compatibility would be a nightmare, but I don’t see a reason you couldn’t have the sign up and data management work like it does on Bluesky (did:plc
issues aside) and the server side/relay work with APub.
And you get the feeling this isn’t the solution he’d have wanted but it at least looks like some.kind of solution so he’s prepared to support it, albeit grudgingly.
It’s more like the idea of adversarial interoperability he’s talked about in the past, focusing on making the transition to a new platform easier by forcing compatibility between nominally incompatible platforms. The article does imply he thinks that Bluesky will enshittify, so our focus as activists of the good internet should be on tools to make the inevitable migration easier. I just don’t think “Free Our Feeds” is that.
Has to be, no way SDF has 5 million comments.
