Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn't sound too "techy", not too complicated to pronounce or spell.

A centralized frontend and a decentralized backend seems great in theory, but I'm not quite sure that's even possible without some one or some group owning the centralized frontend. And if one single entity controls the frontend, it defeats the purpose of decentralization. We want to avoid any one person or group owning the flow of our communication.

AKA "Trump roast" 😄

You shouldn't wait because it's going to happen. I moved all of my projects off of Github and Gitlab, and now self-hosting my own gitea instance. It's been great and never looked back!

I never really understood how cross posting works here. You mind telling us the benefits? Does it consolidate all of the discussions in each cross post into one big long thread? 🤔

It will be fixed. It's gov. So baby steps. The EU is working hard and it's going to be a while before we get everything we want.

Hey OP, I'm doing some research. You mind sharing that link in the description of your screenshot?

Yeah but note by "public" they really mean "if the post doesn't require you to login". They recently implemented a feature that lets users choose for their posts to be "public" but still require a login to see it.

I feel the same way about RSS feeds. It's a technology meant to keep up with updates on nearly anything across the internet. Even social media sites. It's been available for ages. But no one is pushing for sites to provide them. 🤷‍♂️

you could easily keep your identity across multiple forums and see the content from all your communities on one page

RSS feeds have provided this experience for years. The problem is that a lot of sites stopped serving RSS feeds for their content. But sites like rss.app and openrss can be used to get RSS feeds for sites that don't have them.

What do you think of this?

Think it's a terrible idea. For some reason people dont get that many of us are on the fediverse because we want to get as far away from anything that even remotely resembles, copies, piggybacks off of, or otherwise has anything to do with corporate-owned, centralized, ad-infested, user-hostile, privacy-invasive, social media platforms.

So we're gonna keep defederating instances every time a user of an instance acts crazy? Until every instance deferates from each other? This is getting absurd... and feels more and more like... high school.
