Last Week in Fediverse – ep 69\70 | fediversereport.com [Blog Article]

Fascinating how the federated Bluesky spam came from Nostr. Dorsey's lovechild vomiting crap all over his disowned brainchild. Clearly he bet on the right horse.

The thing with replacing DeviantArt could be interesting. Sites like that - not just DA but also Fur Affinity, Weasyl, etc - have a very different philosophy about how to show your "feed":

1. there's always a separation between images and text posts from the people you're following
2. no reposts - instead each user has a gallery of "favorites" (essentially your likes, but it's public by default)

These two things are what makes it possible for me to discover artists on sites like these, and why I can't do the same on Twitter, Tumblr, or Mastodon. The tonal whiplash is just too distressing.

I have made a web app called Crowmask that exposes my Weasyl posts to ActivityPub, but unfortunately it's one way only for now (and single-user - I'm not prepared to take responsibility for hosting content from someone I don't know offline).

Thank you for sharing the article! Please note that this is last's weeks episode, the newest episode went out yesterday: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-70/
