After travel delays, @evan@cosocial.ca has made it to FediMTL!
Wait, this presentation isn't about the fête d'hiver?

@evan@cosocial.ca asks for a show of hands of people who have quit a social network and later gone back.
More than a few hands go up.
"And this is in a room of people who are really good at quitting social networks... and making their own"

Oh hey look!
Evan reporting 43k+ independent servers operating as of today.
These open source projects get those larger organizations on to the fediverse.

Oh here's a hot take.

@evan@cosocial.ca being asked what types of fediverse apps he's excited about, considering that there is a lot of "this is xyz but federated"
Shoutouts to @bonfire@bonfire.cafe @fedify@hollo.social @benpate@mastodon.social (Emissary!)
Forums and threadiverse apps got shoutouts ad well.

It really speaks to the audience a bit that every time I attend a fediverse focused conference the phrase "seize the means of production" always gets said at some point

A quick reflection over the realization that @newsmast@newsmast.social's channels are made up of the very same building blocks that power categorisation efforts on ActivityPub.Space » collecting and curating hashtagged content
What's the term for that again, convergent evolution?

Everything on the table:
I should do this, but have been waiting because I *really* want to self-host the main #Emissary and #Bandwagon accounts on my own software.
Right now, Emissary is a great PUBLISHER and READER, but it does a poor job with DMs. So I couldn’t really use Emissary to support questions like this one.
It’s been on my roadmap for a while, and it’s why I’m excited to build #e2ee DMs, too.
But I do plan to launch these as soon as I have a good solution for DMs.

@benpate I think projects dogfooding their own software is super important but I can also see it hindering some fediverse projects at the same time. In a nod to something Evan said to you and me and Hong while we were at FOSDEM: you could use Hollo for your projects account and get @hongminhee to use Emmisary for one of their projects and then you both could push the dogfood towards eachother

fwiw @benpate@mastodon.social I had the same thoughts go through my head. I literally had no concept of reduced visibility content in NodeBB, so trying to find a parallel was hard.
In the end I launched without support for non-public content and I'll always wonder what I missed out on
Then one night randomly I had a brainwave that reduced visibility content mapped more or less to NodeBB chats, and that was that.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. In my case think of Emissaey as a super charged RSS reader and you’re half way there.
So DMs work great if you’re someone I already follow (like an RSS news source). But it actively discards messages from unknown senders. That’s great for limiting spam and trolls, but a non-starter for supporting real DMs.

Right now, I’m
this close to making it work correctly, so I need to see it through.If Emissary becomes the platform for publishers (music, art, blogs) then DMs will need to work differently - almost like a CRM, where publishers can field questions and keep track of which “tickets” are still open.
I have some designs for this already, and will be working that into a unified messenger.
I just need a little more time

(not usually in presentation, mind you)@julian Disgust: using the phrase "seize the means of production" because that verb implies taking without any return, compensation, consideration.

Having some FOMO for FediMTL since it’s in my hometown.
But appreciate @julian live-tooting the event!
@django@social.coop were you in Montreal? Next time we should plan a meet up!
