From there, we could branch out to see who WE trust, which is probably similar-but-not-quite-the-same as who someone else might trust.<br/><br/>Does that make sense?<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1h44tyyg9g8hh878k64vnfufymyhqxud00ftddmc5zudfx4d646aqu9akl9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Osma A 🇫🇮🇺🇦</span> (<span class="italic">npub1h44…akl9</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1kmm9r2x326v878vt787ez6ggtpyl663rkm9ucaeph344aq3tm8ksqt8pzf" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Gavin Chait;</span> (<span class="italic">npub1kmm…8pzf</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1m8tewe6vm6tah2y0v0s88jsr6xc8kqlphnt7zv499axjcfm7x42q8czu6r" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Scott Jenson</span> (<span class="italic">npub1m8t…zu6r</span>)</a></span> 2026-07-28T21:38:19Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsg4cqfyyku49ypc62h47apmc26ptvwuay54g857xk04dxp906lr3szyreqz3eef9w7y604vy7zg05k5h3twgqq06dl29443yp60qgv2wu9uryufhp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst0j9yhxjcn3lkyc9290k57f9ccs9hccy6sruy9pym68qkmlpge9ssuh9rg'>nevent1q…h9rg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I love this discussion because it gets right to the heart of the human nature, Fediverse, and what makes this the right technology for us to build on.<br/><br/>And, I love the can of worms that we&#39;ve opened here. I&#39;m still reading through your email about Endorsements and Attestations probably being different beasts -- that may be a good choice. But each is going to learn from the other, so I&#39;m eager to dig deeper into this :) 2026-07-28T20:36:00Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs2c9rqpfe8j2utgg48vauauqlu4kfzd8ntwsed7tucu25cdeyqytgzyreqz3eef9w7y604vy7zg05k5h3twgqq06dl29443yp60qgv2wu9uud4d3y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvufrmmm9v0n7m0w8qgtys65x2ved2cecnwen9g3x5vx7sp9fyu6qjr8xxx'>nevent1q…8xxx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is “test on production servers” the wrong answer? Because it FEELS like the wrong answer.<br/><br/>Anyways, I had to test on production servers to make any progress with Mastodon... 2024-06-12T19:58:12Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsyxel8rd3zd2cj84kaxdeuj83vg4xm42afjhff0vf6mmvwfss7wkqzyreqz3eef9w7y604vy7zg05k5h3twgqq06dl29443yp60qgv2wu9uymzetz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrxdjqa9cclkfwcngzehjef9ehm8306d296g6dm8he6tc2g409f3gry97nh'>nevent1q…97nh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes. Stack Overflow isn&#39;t magic. I think they succeeded because they focused heavily on SEO, which brought both ask-ers and answer-ers to the site.<br/><br/>Personally, the &#34;accepted answer&#34; is the killer feature. Dunno if NodeBB, Kbin, or others already support this.<br/><br/>There&#39;s potential in SO&#39;s gamification aspects, too. I&#39;d love to let third-party sites to award badges or &#34;endorsements&#34; and display them on my profile page. This could work in all kinds of trust/credibility situations. 2024-05-09T17:17:14Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsg8g7n2d0qh7mk9l2ugmwe0zzavcdtkz2n5wmrmmqv7gcx9t8u0eqzyreqz3eef9w7y604vy7zg05k5h3twgqq06dl29443yp60qgv2wu9up8ugrv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgvhvuafqzpu9ynxrvjqq8f6vsj6wh3n43e6d9tpgsedcpwpnhq7qmknd58'>nevent1q…nd58</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I should really do more research before I say anything too definitive.<br/><br/>I guess I&#39;m too much of an engineer to get why you&#39;d need a whole new fork for political reasons. <br/><br/>Do you have a link to the new project, and their reasons for discussing a fork? If someone wants Mastodon + extras, I&#39;m curious about what would keep them from just contributing back to the core. 2024-05-09T17:11:43Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs9cun0jjnup5lpfgdt2tc4l8hyghsctc6da4xrnevavscvl2jarkszyreqz3eef9w7y604vy7zg05k5h3twgqq06dl29443yp60qgv2wu9u2tkret In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqeq8cstxhdllpqy0877wya97kdxx93rd6kmuvxys4hgaj7pye6kcwpyxvk'>nevent1q…yxvk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes. After Bandcamp.<br/><br/>I had an online discussion about a Federated-Yelp that raised some interesting points that might apply to SO as well -- How do you “federate” the features that DON’T fit into the standard social media formulae? Things like “accepted answers” might only work on a centralized server.<br/><br/>Also, this might fall under the threaded discussion WG. I’d love to talk in more detail if you’re ever interested. 2024-05-09T04:26:35Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqswqqds7qzs83cxatlkuzazfl24wdaayr855xjwnyzrryrkwrsr49qzyreqz3eef9w7y604vy7zg05k5h3twgqq06dl29443yp60qgv2wu9ut3fuqr Well written article with many good reasons to NOT fork Mastodon. <br/><br/><a href="https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/forking-mastodon/">https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/forking-mastodon/</a><br/><br/>My favorite part was about a previously attempted fork called the Florence project. According to the article, they were apparently better at having meetings than producing actual code. I laughed. I cried. I relived so many years of software development trauma. 2024-05-08T19:43:41Z
