Wait, zcash has a mascot?

@sun @fediverse @deadsuperhero Not yet. But Mitra can display a "Subscribe" button and subscription terms for sub.club accounts if they start publishing a Proposal object as described in FEP-0837. Alternatively, I can add support for their custom subscription property

@deadsuperhero @fediverse @quillmatiq Protocols described in these FEPs are currency-agnostic and developers can build actual platforms and solutions on them (as I did). This is the only ongoing effort to bring a payment layer to the Fediverse - there are no alternative proposals. FEP-8c3f was withdrawn in favor of FEP-0ea0.

Okay, you didn't know about it. But now you do and it would be nice to include at least some of that information in the article.

@deadsuperhero @fediverse FEP-ef61 is what Mike was implementing and rolled out in production this summer. It's not like we didn't advertise that. All work on this FEP (and ones that precede it) was done in public channels, it's really hard to miss if you're interested in nomadic identity.

Give @weekinfediverse a follow. It provides a concise summary of what is happening in Fediverse

In another article @deadsuperhero talked about nomadic identity and Mike Macgirvin's efforts to implement it in ActivityPub, but similarly failed to mention another project that implements it (Mitra) and the person who wrote the spec (me).

At least my work was mentioned in a footnote. In the current article it is completely ignored.

@deadsuperhero @fediverse You cite an abandoned project and withdrawn WebMonetization FEP and then say "most efforts have not advanced beyond the planning stages". This statement is misleading because those planning stages are far behind us. Mitra had subscriptions since 2022 and there are other projects that provide monetization options, like PeerTube Lightning plugin and PeerTube Premium Users plugin. FEP-0ea0 and FEP-0837 were published and implemented. Your co-author @quillmatiq should be well aware of these developments because we talked about it

@deadsuperhero @fediverse

Why did't you mention Mitra, the open source and fully decentralized Fediverse service that also offers paid subscriptions, and which has been around for several years?

 

How many domain names your government needs to block in order to censor an entire network?

Bluesky: 1 domain name
Nostr: 680 domain names, but blocking 10 most popular relays and hosted clients would probably be enough to kill it
Fediverse: more than 20000 domain names

@maegul @fediverse Some ActivityPub implementations already work as social media browsers. For example, my server can interact with microblogs, but also forums, blogs, events etc. The more activity / object types are supported, the closer software is to a browser.

@c0mmando Nice. Can confirm, it is working.

@nihilist @monero Consider the following situations:

- Bob and Arbitrator are colluding against Alice
- Bob and Arbitrator are the same person

I think this system needs a higher authority to function properly. And there's a simple non-technical solution to this problem. If you don't agree with Arbitrator's ruling, you make the case public and provide proofs. As a result, Arbitrator's reputation is destroyed.

Someone can even create a rating service similar to @kycnotme that will list arbitrators with good reputation

@pomstan

Yes.

https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub

It is currently being tested at SocialHub (though only selected topics are federated, @[email protected] and a couple of others)

@OrangeFren @monero Activity in Lemmy network might have subsided since the Reddit Migration, but it is certainly not dying. Today there are 768 instances with the largest one having 18469 MAUs.
The important thing about federation is that there is no downside. You get a regular forum with all benefits of a self-hosting, but now people don't have to register on it in order to participate. For example, monero.town currently has 83 MAUs, and you can access that audience for free simply by using a different software.
I previously mentioned Discourse, which has a federation plugin, but it is not the only forum engine to choose from. NodeBB is working on federation (almost finished), and Flarum too. These engines will be fully interoperable with Lemmy, and partially with micro-blogging apps like Mastodon and Threads.
So, yeah, you're right about this being an uncharted territory, but I see a lot of potential here
