We must find a way to make going to small, less expensive musical performances popular again. A regular thing we do every weekend, for the price of a movie ticket. Such shows provide a sense of community that is needed more than ever today. To stop feeling alone. To give life purpose. Amazing artists are all around us. The screens are not enough.

Private groups Lately, I've been seeing various people claiming that fediverse doesn't have private groups. They often point to some task force at w3c that is supposedly working to fill the gap. How...

@silverpill

yea. I'm kinda torn. imo private groups are not social media, but social networking. they should be done via matrix. but then I also recognize that most people care more about private groups than they do anything more than consuming social media (algo media but also google and apple news feeds). so if I want people boosting and replying as part of a public square, I should probably promote systems that do both. something that is mostly like facebook but also somewhat like twitter.

@william ⁂ maggos @silverpill Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte are much closer to Facebook-style social networking than to Twitter-style social media. In fact, they're descendants of Friendica, the first decentralised dedicated Facebook alternative. (Let's set aside that Hubzilla is usually referred ...

AFAIK that's what @nprofile1q... has been saying too. that the OpenSubsonicAPI is not designed to allow for an app with perhaps thousands of individual artist websites as different sources of music, while allowing the user to treat it all as their "library".

imo that's what we need to make possible a better music ecosystem for musicians and listeners. @nprofile1q... and myself and others involved with fedi and #ccmusic didn't know the API existed till recently. just trying to not reinvent the wheel.

I'm glad you're trying but I'm generally not a fan of adding complexity, esp when most people already can't handle choosing a server.

The fedi I want looks like the web. We'd be able to follow "horrible" people and not get cut off from also following friends and the "best" people on other servers. the problem is norms not tech.

I'm not a bad guy...

Yeah, it gets complicated really fast :) According to one of the listings from your link, they're blocking liberal.city because: "crypto-fascists" 🤣 nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqks4j70qusuv7hnaqcrr3azks95fxjpz4sx29sy9h35z3vltwauns3ytwh5

we'll never get close to that real life complexity here. that's why I'm focused on what we already figured out and try to understand what makes what we're trying to do so hard. my conclusion is it isn't. we're just trying to do diff things with similar tech/norms. impossible.

you want to grow. many don't. imo saying anybody can play my music is enough. they want direct endorsement.

my non troll MAGA brother would never be treated like I am here. mod tools can't fix that.

everyone seems to understand websites (public attention), group apps (private communities) and email (potentially so bothersome that users need moderation help at the server level). we've managed letting people post whatever they want forever and ignoring it. we created spaces for only certain interested people. we address spam.

we're going to struggle as long as we're not clear on our goals. I don't think it's a tool or org problem. we mostly don't want the same thing.

social media is public. about attention. journalists care about it a lot. same with influencers. but we shouldn't write it off as bad. the problem arises with the ads, algos, data mining and corporate ownership. attention allocated collectively purely by the public is awesome and how we push back on a civics and culture dominated by wealth.

social networking is chat and group apps.

IMO.
