shovel making equipment

it’s the heritage foundation, the plan is called project 2025 and it’s all out in the open at this point

the only thing that can kill Spotify is Spotify. They have a good platform, the best integration with other services/devices, and as long as they don’t enshitify there’s not much more another service can offer

I wouldn’t recommend it either, because it doesn’t exist yet. But its extremely disingenuous to make claims about how it will work when/if it begins federating in the future and declare it EEE.

Do you have any sources for that? I’ve seen no indication they don’t intend to release the protocol as a standard and that is a pretty big assumption

There isn’t a standard because the protocol/platform doesn’t exist yet. “Anyone who wants to connect will be entirely beholden to get the latest published version from Bluesky” is just the definition of a standard. Every standard is maintained by someone. And its also not EEE to make an entirely new system. They are neither embracing nor extending activitypub. They are trying something of their own.

What do you mean it’s not intended to be an open protocol? There is no other reason for it to exist

It will be federated, but not with activitypub. It looks like they’re developing a more comprehensive system for federation

I’m with you. preemptively defederating feels like shooting ourselves in the foot. It would be great to be able to access content from larger communities on our own terms. If meta starts trying to dictate the rules, sure but as it stands now they don’t control activitypub. I think I’m also in the minority that wants to see the fediverse grow into a proper alternative to traditional social media, though.

Spotify doesn’t make changes like that on its own, the artist probably did that for a reason

Always the right answer

Been using this for a few days now, extremely useful, much better than searching all over like I was before lol. Thanks for your work!

I’ve tried most of the apps, none of them really feel right to me unfortunately. Luckily this issue is just a bug with 0.18.0

Truly a site of the people

This sounds like an extremely annoying way to do things on mobile

I thought this was already decided, lol

I really wish people would think a bit bigger. I hear “I don’t want regular people here/it doesn’t need to grow” all the time but don’t you wonder how much better things would be if the average person wasn’t constantly on a platform designed to enrage and exploit them?

Usernames are only unique within servers, just like with email addresses. there’s only one john@gmail.com but john@yahoo.com is a different person

Then there should be a single unified sign up page that sends you to a random instance or something. You still need an easy onboarding process for less technical people

really annoying that they used that name but don’t have the domain, lol
