@aral
Yes, ads themselves are toxic, drive toxic business models and toxic products, partly through centralising power, and of course by hiding better products and undermining trusted networks (eg person-to-person).

Aral, do you recall me urging you to look at Safe Network a few years ago because of these issues, to bring your UX ideas?

I know you have your own approach as well but hope that now it is happening it will be interesting to you - recently renamed #Autonomi

@johnlynch @onepict

@freemo

How do third parties manage to change content in a static site? If the site is immutable, what and where is the mutated data?

Sounds very neat so 👏
@flear

@freemo thanks, that's neat.

With respect I think using the term serverless when there is a server because Google (I think) coined the term is misleading IMO though I know many go along with it.

My interest is in p2p, so building static sites where code runs in the client & data mutated without a server, and stored across the p2p network. There are though people who insist that p2p nodes be called servers! 🤷♂️

I think a useful distinction is whether site specific code runs outside the client.

@freemo

> For ActivityPub it must, it is designed to. There are solutions if you want it totally in the client though, go for that if you want it

That seems contradictory or do you mean non-AP solutions?

Regardless, I'm curious if AP can be implemented using libp2p services. I'm not impressed with Nostr in several respects. I'm a big fan of Safe Network though and hope to see it link to synergistic projects.

I built a PoC for SN to integrate with Solid and another, a GitHub in the browser.

@silverpill This is awesome thank you. It's beyond me but looks promising so maybe there's something in this.

I'll add it to the forum topic.

@mauve have you looked at #libp2p's gossipsub?

I just started looking at it because MaidSafe are implementing support for it in #SafeNetwork and I'm wondering if it would be possible to implement support for #ActivityPub on top of #gossipsub.

It would be amazing if this potentially widely used library were a way to link Safe and other #p2p networks to the #fediverse

FYI I posted about this on the Safe forum and put some references in the OP directly above: https://safenetforum.org/t/gossipsub-what-dat/38718/2?u=happybeing

@raucao
Finding it hard to understand your promoting this ultimate internet centralisation without critique. 🤷♂️

@raucao
You've joined the Musk cult and are encouraging others.

Can't you see where this is going?

Do you want your connection to others to have Musk as the gatekeeper?

Are you ok with finding Musk's funding hegemony?

🤦♂️

I refused to give Murdoch my money for decades, I gave up things dear to me, but for the slightest convenience humans do seen willing to give up everything. This is why we're fucked man.

@raucao
I don't hate Musk.

It's interesting how people assume that critique is personal or emotional.

What you see is often a reflection of yourself.

I've followed you and your work for years. We've interacted many times. My emotion is about that, what I see as self betrayal not Musk.

You probably don't realise who I am, so are speaking without understanding. Reacting emotionally to criticism.
