Do you have some data on that ? Because the majority of people inside far-left organizations are just not, and I don't base that on superficial myths but on actually talking with people

I'm sorry but this is just too naive. There is no honesty in most people working for a wage that is barely enough to survive, while capital owners don't actually do anything and still receive an inconsiderate amount of money. Ther

That's assuming that the population has any power, which in pretty much all countries in the world is not true. "Democracy" isn't just a value to behold, if the population has no power, it has no power and a country can&

If it's a common enough occurrence to have _all_ your nodes down at the same time maybe you should reevaluate your deployment choices. The whole point of multi-nodes clustering is that _some_ of the nodes will always be up and running

The internet and the web were, and still are, made by and for white rich men. It's not about who can be a prick, everyone can. It's about what the ecosystem pushes towards, and it's not the safety and general good life of wom

That's why you need to go to other regions, not remain in the same area. Putting all your eggs in one basket (single area) _is_ stupid. Having a single shutdown command for the whole cluster _is_ stupid. Still accepting writes when the

I disagree that it's bad, it's a choice. You can't protect against everything. The team made calculations and decided that the cost to protect against this very low probability is not worth it. If all the nodes lose power you

Oh, read-your-writes is definitely not a solution to all problems, but to ditch it and go directly for strong consistency is... a bit radical

I don't understand this article and It's like the author doesn't really know what they're talking about. They don't want eventual consistency, they want read-your-writes, a consistency level that's stronger tha

AP, even in its purest simplest form, already allows to "revive" and "remix" data: you have the JSON of the data, you can do whatever you want with it. You can build a product injecting JSON of this data, just like in AT

That's ok, because "self-hosting" is not a goal in itself, it's a means to an end

That's a purely personal point of view but I don't think the AP people claim that "people want the wrong things", but rather that "the things you want have a cost and we're not hiding it". The fact that li

The subtext of my comment is that the people doing and pushing for atproto are not building for small networks but for big networks. Yes, technical solutions can be found; the problem is, as usual, not technical but rather social. What kind

If we're talking strictly ActivityPub, they're exactly the same: servers where your data lives. AT's PDS give you access to your data, but proper AP servers also do that: you have your collections, and all your activities in

This is a beautifully written introduction to the architecture of AT, but after much consideration I will still remain on ActivityPub for the time being. I love the idea to define data formats first, and then build on top of that. It's
