Article = rich content, embedded images, videos, and other media.
But how embedded images should be treated by implementations that use media cache? Are they expected to rewrite src attributes in images?

@julian I'm not using context, but I think FEP-7888 is great and I want to implement it in the future. Haven't decided yet on what exactly this collection should contain. Slightly in favor of collection of activities (as in Streams / Conversation Containers).
@ntnsndr By algorithmic governance I mean DAOs and other things Vitalik and co have been tinkering with. They didn't understand that all software is owned and maintained by someone, and as a result, Ethereum has been completely co-opted. This post was written in 2021, and there was still hope. Today it is dying, and no amount of tinkering can save it.
This destiny awaits all projects with weak leaders.
@kayaba @kycnotme My suggestion for kycnot.me is to split peer to peer category into two distinct categories: peer to peer trading (like LocalMonero) and peer to peer networking (like Bisq, and in the future, Serai).
True decentralization requires much more effort, and needs to be proven. This way only the best of the best will be rewarded with 10/10 rating.
@kayaba @kycnotme Do you think orders are stored in something similar to a mempool?
@kycnotme I think the rating should be lower (currently it has 10), but I'm not sure about the exact number.
I did investigate it further and had a look at their code:
https://github.com/tecnovert/basicswap
The readme says it's in beta, so it is possible that some features have not been implemented yet (the website, however, presents BasicSwap as a finished product). I was able to locate code that does BTC-XMR atomic swaps, and @kayaba suggested that their implementation could be real. I didn't find atomic swap implementations for other currencies listed on the website.
The orders are sent to a local Particl node. It's a fork of Bitcoin Core with various additions, so the P2P network is probably real (Bitcoin Core provides that), but it is not clear how decentralized it is.
The Particl blockchain is a PoS chain powered by the PART token, which lost 99.48% of its value since ATH. I think it is reasonable to assume that the people behind this project are the only ones who hold significant amounts of coins, because everyone else had quit long time ago. And since it's PoS, this means they have total control over the chain, and in my view that makes it equivalent to a single server.
I can't find any information about past security incidents, apart from this strange github post talking about an inflation bug: https://github.com/particl/ccs-proposals/pull/5
Particl-Core and most of BasicSwap were developed by a single person.
So my conclusion is that foundations for "Privacy-First Cross-Chain DEX" might be present, but the product is presented in a misleading way, not properly documented, and not independently audited. Furthermore, the market valuation of PART token indicates an extremely low trust in it, which might have caused by past incidents.
@Hyolobrika @Pawlicker He likes his bitcoin bags
@Hyolobrika @lain @strypey @Sarosa The idea of algorithmic governance is flawed. And he was wrong in his conclusions, because it can not be fixed by adding more cryptography.
Blockchains are good for one thing: payments. That's all.
@Pawlicker What a loser. Isolating himself in his bitclown echo chamber while fediverse is conquering the internets.
>Any sufficiently advanced P2P messenger will eventually re-invent a custom, partial form of e-mail
That's correct, pure P2P is a pipe dream. The solution, however, is federation, and email is only one protocol among many.
ActivityPub should work just as well, but it is modern, extensible, with a rapidly growing userbase, and may eventually replace email. Consider supporting it. The secure fediverse messenger still doesn't exist, and many have promised to build one, but you can be the first who actually delivers.
@harblinger The latest update should fix the occasional encoding error.

>Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure
Good. They are fighting, but we are growing.
@julian @federated Apparently only the top post is federated but not replies.
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/id-normalization/4233/3
Someone wrote a simple installation guide for #Mitra
@Hyolobrika @tallship It already can work as onion service, so domain name is not strictly required. And once I implement nomadic identity it will be able to work without internet connection.
@tallship This is how I imagine the end game for Mitra. Just a single executable, without renting anything from anyone.
@liaizon @grunfink @mikedev @streams @nodebb @julian Mitra transforms Event objects into posts, that works reasonably well. I'm not against extended support but I'd like to wait until some standard in this area emerges. As far as I know, existing event servers use slightly different protocols.
@blog was working on better interop
Yes.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub
It is currently being tested at SocialHub (though only selected topics are federated, @feps@socialhub.activitypub.rocks and a couple of others)
@OrangeFren @monero Activity in Lemmy network might have subsided since the Reddit Migration, but it is certainly not dying. Today there are 768 instances with the largest one having 18469 MAUs.
The important thing about federation is that there is no downside. You get a regular forum with all benefits of a self-hosting, but now people don't have to register on it in order to participate. For example, monero.town currently has 83 MAUs, and you can access that audience for free simply by using a different software.
I previously mentioned Discourse, which has a federation plugin, but it is not the only forum engine to choose from. NodeBB is working on federation (almost finished), and Flarum too. These engines will be fully interoperable with Lemmy, and partially with micro-blogging apps like Mastodon and Threads.
So, yeah, you're right about this being an uncharted territory, but I see a lot of potential here
@OrangeFren @monero Why make a non-federated forum? You can run a Lemmy or a Discourse instance, and let people from monero.town and beyond participate in discussions. Otherwise there won't be much activity
