Definitely works here 🤷‍♂️

As far as I know there are specific legal provisions for foreigners living in China in regards to VPN use, so what might be true for your friends isn’t necessarily true for a regular Chinese person.

The live blog feature is some way to embed a Mastodon feed in a Wordpress site?

More hobbyist assistant teachers that go into schools and engage with the children about their various real-world jobs and interests.

Yes as long as you remember to link up your account to one on another instance before it goes down ;)

That’s one way to look at it, sure. But it fails to account for community dynamics. The fediverse is largely run by volunteers and funded by that small percentage of users that feel strongly committed to their particular instance. If you break that up you end up with only a few large and likely advertisement funded instances being able to survive.

This is also why I doubt Bluesky federation will be ever anything but a novelty for some self-hosters.

Valve should partner up with them for 1st party SteamVR support. It has good hardware and would be a good stop-gap replacement for the aging Index while Valve’s next gen headset will still take some time to be released most likely.

Indeed I am also slightly weary of too easy account migration. Not only do instances lose character because of it, but also are much more likely to be shut down or abandoned if it can be justified with easy account migration. The instance I am currently on for example would probably not exist anymore had not the previous admin felt the need to hand it over to someone else.

But in the bigger picture I think Hubzilla’s nomadic identity is a good compromise of balancing out these different considerations.

Personally I like that there are different communities with different characters, but the option for community moderators to opt into such a nomadic arrangement would certainly not hurt. At least it is much better than if 3rd parties like clients or alternative implementations like Piedfed smash them together with currently no way for communities to opt out of that.

That’s not exactly what nomadic identity is about, although it can also help with that.

The way nomadic identity is implemented in Hubzilla for example is that you can have accounts on multiple servers and by importing a shared cryptographic identity into all of them, other servers know to treat them as a single entity. Once that is established you can log into your account on any of the linked servers and use it normally. But if a server goes down or you decide to delete your account on one, you can seamlessly continue to use everything from another linked server.

This is the one feature I always missed from back when I hosted a Hubzilla instance. YES PLEASE!

This was a test for the new feed post bot. But the formatting of the post text got a bit messed up it seems.

Hmm, unless the plan is to have a lot of reposts from TikTok, the real difficulty of these platforms is to have super easy to use video editing tools in the mobile app. And that is really a project all on it’s own and requires a entirely different skillset.

A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys might fit the bill?

We have a work in progress wiki here https://wiki.slrpnk.net

I completed the account integration with Lemmy yesterday and we will likely make an official announcement for it in the next monthly post.

But basically every community on slrpnk has their own namespace on it and moderators of those communities have edit rights.

Nothing fancy, just account linking via the Lemmy database.

Our SLRPNK Dokuwiki integration is finally working now. Let me know if you want to test-drive it in the coming days.

I think they included it as “/0”

The Lost Cause by Cory Doctorow has a similar albeit IMHO a bit too US centric setting. Worth a read never the less.

I think it would be interesting to write a story from the perspective of a young second generation climate refugee in northern Europe.
