I think I'm going to pivot Instance.Community into a project to explore and chip away against Mastocentrism within the self-organized interoperable social cloud.
See this post: https://rustedneuron.com/web/statuses/105748123175852813
I think Federated Identities is the missing piece. I should be able to participate in every aspect of the social cloud, while using only one identity for all of them.
(Unless I have some reason to create other identities. Although a dark pattern there is 'Sock Puppets'.)
This makes it simple and it means a video I post on PeerTube can be cross referenced to my Mastodon toots and Lemmy posts, everything linking back to the one identity.
@jon How do you plan on doing that?
@derek no real plans. mind you, I'm not a dev and the best I can do is to run non-masto apps myself and help others in doing that too.
@jon Are you running a Pleroma instance? We just released a new front end for Pleroma and I would love to get some feedback.
@derek not at the moment, but I can probably spin something up to test it out. Link?
@jon Here is link to install GORF-FE. It is a twitter clone. Thought it would be best to make Twitter people easy converts. https://gorf.com/gorf-fe.html
Here is link to Resources page. We are working on nice directory to make it easy for people to find an instance they will like: https://gorf.com/learn_more
don't get me wrong here, I think the project is great and love it wholeheartedly, which is why I run my own instance. the motivation is to see it become something better.
