This is not good, this is why I don't like permissive licenses.

It really is! I was off for about three months, and I decided to go back to it just to be up-to-date with some friends and creators, right? Well, I was doom-scrolling for hours in about just a week of usage. Whenever that happens, I uninstall the app causing it, so I just deleted it again. The craziest part? After a couple of hours, I could feel the craving to open the app. Crazy shit.

That's similar to want #Mbin does.

I just installed and is pretty neat. Truly a photo first social media.

No way! Now I'm afraid for the future of #Android. Never trust these companies.

That is a fair point, but I've seen @[email protected] talking about what he plans to do about the algorithm to keep privacy-friendly. If I'm not wrong, I recall something along the lines of having the option to self-host your own algorithm recommendation.

This is the reason why I'm not a fan of permissive licenses.

Your IP gets exposed to others since it has a p2p feature to share the bandwidth of the video with others.

That is actually a fair point, but I assume out of the millions of lines of code, not all of them come from Google, right?

That would requiere convincing the copyright holders of those lines, or at least rewrite them. The latter I don't see it impossible, but it would take time.

Still, I will always rather a strong copyleft license...

Mbin is so cool, it's what I'm using.

Literally one of the reason for the existence of this thread.

It's a great opportunity for #pixelfed to add #group support, so those sharing their videos can share it directly to a community/magazine reaching to a wider audience. Same for #loops. Obviously, not at the moment, where everyone is trying to keep things up and running. @[email protected]

For a second I thought the ActivityPub specification got updated.

i swear, open source devs will do anything, but license their code under AGPLv3.

Using a permissive license? Then don't whine about corporations profiting off of your code.

Yeah, that would be dope. An average user probably won't use it, though. But having the option is great, and for user who don't opt in for self-hosting probably an option to export their algorithm data would be cool, for things like changing instances.

I think you misunderstood what I'm referring to. The bluesky app is open source and it has the same UI as twitter, basically. I'm talking about forking the project to make it compatible with Mastodon.

I haven't developed anything with #ActivityPub, but have read a little bit of the spec. I would love to hear the take from developers making use of it.

(Sorry for the mention in any case)

Thank you so much!

1. People are more familiar with the UI

2. They are microblogging services, so yeah, I don't see any feature that cannot be translated to the UI.

3. I find it easy, but for other's that's not the case.

4. The level of engagement can be hard to get on a decentralized service in a network that suffers from fragmentation. Besides, the way the developers of Mastodon (and other services) built their software was by in fact not federating things like likes to other instances, making it so that the level of interaction yoi see form a remote server is not actually the correct one.

I recently wanted to do the same and came upon ShareX, it did a pretty good job.
