iirc, atprotocol was made to bring some features of mainstream social media to the fediverse that activitypub maintainer have said they won’t be adding. They explain other reasons in their faq
It doesn’t say there’s any limit on their github
In theory, bluesky can federate with other apps but it is currently the only one using their protocol, bluesky servers can federate with each other and when a new project using atprotocol appears it will probably be able to federate with that
I’d hope it’s carefulness but it doesn’t seem like it. Facebook should want to destroy fediverse instances (from a business point of view), they are supposed to be a monopoly and the fediverse is their biggest competitor.
Tumblr’s backend has been passed between several companies* for several decades, it’s a miracle it still works and can be updated
*some of which don’t even know what tumblr is
It took around a year for a solo dev (and a couple contributors) to develop a fully federated platform. Why is it taking one of the largest companies on the planet this long to make such tiny changes that are useless anyway.
And why are they releasing it like this instead of releasing everything at once?
My guess is because it’s unicode. But that doesn’t really matter. How often are you going to want to put the icon instead of just typing the fediverse
I couldn’t find one in my 10 second search. I think most are made for personal use.
I use it as well. People hating it completely is weird. I get that for profit is stinky but most people don’t complain about that, they complain about it using a different protocol. As long as it is foss, (which it is) using a different protocol is fine, especially because their whole point of developing their own protocol is to achieve feature parity with Twitter
Edit: before anyone mentions, you can host your own bluesky instance now
You can look at the app list on join-lemmy.org. Ignore the big scary warnings on there about non foss apps unless you want a foss app. Most of the proprietary apps are just made by hobbyists who don’t want the world to see their spaghetti code.
I also use boost, everything about it seems to work apart from spoiler tags (think because the app still uses reddit’s format instead of lemmy’s).
Depends on the writer, chances are that those in the bbc who are involved with the mastodon instance are the nerds (like us) and the writer of this article doesn’t know as much and is just listing the places the MPs went, and they are politicians so they wouldn’t know about the “nerdy options”
Don’t attack the messenger, this is threads/meta being evil not @[email protected]
It was very blatantly targeted against young voters. The government website has a list of accepted photo id here. One of the accepted id is 60+ oyster, however, oyster cards are also provided for students which isn’t accepted for some reason?
Cake day on my lemmy.world account is in 11 days. Happy cake day to all that migrated!
I was just scrolling through the instance to see what it is like and I saw this post, I know it’s federation but it is still really cool
Is this comment made from a wafrn instance? It’s cool that it works with lemmy
I’ve watched the video. The conclusion is that some people the video creator knows found the site’s operator’s discord, which can be used to identify him if the investigation goes to court.
According to this blog post, they are currently limited to 10 accounts, so not many open servers, but you can host your own.
This is an old blog post, though, so the limit might have been lifted
