  • I wouldn’t mind having my identity just be a hash (of username@domain and some salt, for example) and have all other fediverse servers use that to authenticate and authorize me but display the username, logo, bio, etc that I had registered on that domain.

    Maybe let me overide some information for context per site or inherit from the original id provider.

    Then I could be known as FatFingersJoe at the guitar players site where I’m learning scales and SenseiJoe at the karate forum for my dojo. :-D

    ,or maybe I’m just missunderstanding this fediverse thing alltoguether! :-/


  • What I allways felt we needed was a federated identity system. Then all posts on a platform could just be followed on any other platform.

    Now, joe@one.site has to create a separate account on other.site, but joe@other.site is already taken, so he has to go with doe@other.site and resort to solutions like this one to post to several locations at once.

    What I whould suggest is to just create some kind of federated identity provider so that Joe can just be joe@joe.site and post on one.site, other.site or whatever.site he wants and have his posts federate magicaly throughout the fediverse.

    Of course, moderation would have to be based more on user accounts than on nodes, I gess…

    Wasn’t there something already close to this? “OpenId”?..


  • Talvez a estrutura descentralizada do Fediverso proveja o “redesenho fundamental brilhante”, mencionado no texto, e necessário para evitar algumas das pragas da mídia social. Digo isto porque grupos excessivamente combativos, prones a desinformação, etc. são desfederados pelos outros, reduzindo o alcance das suas vozes.

    Uma forma de controlo. Era bom que não fossem necessárioas outras…

    Entretanto, não acho que o redesenho seja suficiente; parece-me haver mais passos necessários para reduzir hostilidades, caças às bruxas, câmaras de eco, “tchurminhas do çuponhu”, e a busca incessante ao personagem principal do dia (estilo Twitter). Caso contrário, Lemmy/PieFed/MBin seriam um paraíso, e sabemos que não são. Lamento achar que tenhas razão.

    Não tenho grande experiência com redes sociais. O fediverse é a minha primeira experiência e até agora não me satisfaz lá grande coisa… ainda prefiro os RSSs para notícias e para interação… bom, não acho que tenha tido muita. Falta-me algo mais instantâneo, talvez o XMPP venha a vingar, e ainda não vejo nada que bata a usenet para um tempo mais “diferido”.











  • Nem de propósito…

    Ainda há pouco vi alguma coisa de alguém a insurgir-se contra qualquer “nacionalismo europeu” que possa haver neste contexto. Argumentava que o software de código aberto é internacional (e intercontinental) por natureza… agora não consigo encontrar.

    Mas pronto, não sou o único a “sentir este cheiro esquisito”. :-)



  • Eu concordo com isso tudo. E até também procuro, por mim, no mesmo sentido. Até além de software - música, filmes, línguas, arte em geral, modos de vida…

    Mas hoje em dia tenho medo que essa conversa caia numa outra bastante menos interessante - a de uma espécie de nacionalismo informático.

    Sou o único a sentir este cheiro esquisito?..

    (Não estou a duvidar das tuas motivações. É só uma ideia para debate)



  • That’s one possibility, yes. My gut feeling goes like this:

    If you’ve been training without for as long as you can remenber and having or not having such a device has zero effect, you’re the adult in the room and this is not about you.

    There’s allways the guy who liked the colour. That’s not about him either.

    If you bought one to help you keep going, I’m afraid it will help you as long it is a novelty, data is a novelty, your “network” is a novelty… Past that and the efect will vanish like hot water cooling. A trick that might help is to get someone you care about to share your progresses and achievements (the data) like a nice training partner or a family member, or someone with the same desiese as you if that’s the unfortunate case.

    If you’re really excited about your workouts and bought one to help you even more, I’m afraid you’ll realize the novelty efect will wain down as you get to know your mesurements by heart as well or predict them sometimes more acurately than the device. The exceptions are professionals - those don’t count here.

    If your trainer made you buy one but he’s not looking at the weights yout lift or counting the reps and couldn’t care less about the records, but he’s counting very closely and keeping track of how much time you’re spending in that particular hart rate zone or other seemingly weird mesurements, you’re golden. Don’t (or do, rather, in the positive way) question the need for such a thing, never leave that guy (or girl), never miss a session.
