On my way back from #FOSDEM I came up with an idea.
When are we going to replace Amazon?
I put together some ideas in a blog post. I think it's feasible.

Can any instance operators offer an explanation as to why federating with Mastodon from an instance not running their software tends to be more difficult?
I've noticed lately that when viewing a profile from a Mastodon instance, their post history tends to be incomplete or otherwise missing. Any posts that are made recently tend to have a significant delay or don't show up on their profile at all.
I know that you can view the content from the remote instance in question for a complete profile, that you need to do so however does seem to be a failing on the part of the server software to properly federate and populate posts.

Some interesting fediverse-related talks at this year's #FOSDEM open-source conference.

Reading notes from the event that mention how Twitter was an improvement over RSS in terms of user experience.
Another good example would be people switching from pirating media over to signing up for streaming services. It was the easier option.
With Blacksky recently achieving full independence from Bluesky, and other projects following behind, it'll be interesting to see who will handle federation better.

@Floppy @Mastodon It's cool on many levels. But one of them is the ability/facility to make this change so far IN, that you can just turn on a dime. And say, okay, let's just have a different default. And it all just WORKS after the config change. #activitypub #federation for the win.

Hum, trying out the Ghost Fediverse integration and for now I see:
- No Ghost -> Akkoma notes, but likes carry over
- Private mentions on both Akkoma and Mastodon are not sent to Ghost (or at least not displayed?)
Need more testing, but I hope to find the reason for this! I would love to have it fix or at least help

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —
Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)
The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.

Federation is the word we use to describe that act of bringing together and connecting these separate Decentralized, Localized communities.
This is where protocols such as ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, etc come into play.
Federation is a voluntary choice.
But, so too is Defederation, if desired.

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.
Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.
Decentralization with Localization spreads out decision-making and power to groups (that could consistent of a single individual) with a personal stake in the outcome of the decision-making.
Which creates incentives that lead to greater resilience to Centralization.

The message matters, as it can affect the future.
I think we should make a point to ALSO explicitly talk about 'Federation' and 'Localization' when we talk about 'Decentralization'.
Because if we don't, then — it is likely these values will be lost.
(I think we have already started seeing this in some places.)

In some ways it is unfortunate that the word 'Decentralization' has become a short-hand for the three ideas:
Decentralization, Federation, Localization
Some know that all the ideas are important — and that 'Decentralization' is a short-hand for all three.
But, many don't!
