I think pixelfed would be the flagship dansup projects that should work. Too bad I only made an account then proceeded to do nothing with it.
With loops I just tried to help dansup, put pressure on him to see if he was gonna do anything with loops and he blocked me. That gave me the impression that loops wasn't going anywhere and I was half right the progress doesn't seem to be going in the fediverse direction but on other random features
Oh you need me to explain. I'm saying you want to argue but you're argue in this petty and slow way ultimately to get me to like everything dansup has done.
Obviously apathy is the majority position I have looked at the accounts to usage ratio and well it's increasing dropping. Implying that people just moved on and grown disinterested
It's going slow now because you're talking about me talking instead of making your point. Sounds like it's over since I articulated my point pretty well.
I guess this is a me trying to figure out how to grow lemmy or fediverse in general. Just getting frustrated and want to do something constructive and put idea out and have idea come in. ...
I'm say loops is fedi-washed like a reactionary. There's no other instances, apparently it dies use the activityhub protocol.
I will comment that the major corporate sites like reddit and YouTube make hard for fediverse platforms to take off because they're hard to complete with. When they started out they didn't have competition people would get bored and come to them, then they would build niche communities on their own.
There hasn't been a blunder for most of 2025. Id count the tik Tok ban generally being the last one to capitalize on (but I believe that loops project just didn't bother to act).
Of course my slow instance glitches when I looked up Florida. Ugg.
Florida was more on my mind to use as a concrete example. I do have a county and city level c/ that I created months ago that I can do start doing something with.
But i could do a c/cdda and just gather post from reddit
Actually loops is 5 years old, but it seemed to have a big overhaul in the past few months as in it actually going through development and the source code is actually being published.
Apparently the activitypub protocol was announced to be implemented in October of 2025. Which is kinda funny.
Also I did hop to different instances looking for users on across instances and yeah I could only find 1 out of half dozen I tried. So I'm sceptical on activitypub protocol integration. It could be that they aren't federated
I'm actually impressed that there is 8 instances because I didn't except there to be more than one this year
I help dansup with loops back in February and January. I put some pressure on him for answers and well he folded and basically blocked me, so I got the impression that he didn't have the temperament to develop loops, but I'm half wrong because well he did eventually make it open source.
Also dansup is getting paid, he asked for grants and ran a fundraiser specifically for loops, so it's not exactly "in their free time"
I have no idea what turned miserable mean. I've been leaving him alone as best I can, I keep encountering him unintentionally.
If you're a backer (of any person or project) you should ask questions and expect answers. For me personally I'm forward with my project, that way someone can take it over or build on top of it
Lol I had to do custom range search to find that link, originally it was an interview dansup did talking about loops was 5 years old and an pixelfed project. I guess now it's it's own thing
I think two reasons. Main one being them think drag shows are a sin/wicked/immoral or drag shows is showing genitals to kids. the other being that they thought tax payer money was going to the drag show itself and not just the venue.
Also one church just sang Carols and gave out flyers but idk if that was a protest or promotion
I wanted to suggest that DSA as a hole on both chapters and party basic make supporting ranked choice voting, approval voting, or lottocracy (any one or all three). Really the suggestion does rely on everyone agreeing to support any one of these proposals. ...
I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it. ...
I have the mindset of taking any idea that works for yourself and use it for your purposes. Like we should be stealing ideas from big tech and foss-ing them. Id assume big tech is worse than this maintainer
But what would the fork look like? Finding the maintainer contribution and rewriting them?
As a leftist I have been arguing with anyone on the right to some unhealthy degree. Seems like either the platforms I do use are just shrinking or the right side of the political spectrum aren't married to anything and pretty dispassionate now. I can attach trump but they aren't going to defend trump. ...
Yeah I'm kinda being put on this path. I forgot to note that I feel like the group I'm helping isn't doing enough things in general, but it's also the holidays
I should take taken a selfie because I wore a flag pole with the lgbt flag (🏳️🌈 this one) outside of the drag show in Pensacola and blocked all the street preacher signs. I had to dance to keep the flag waving and I ran across streets to make the flag wave. ...
This has been in my head for months that one big problem with the fediverse is that you can get linked for a fediverse service but to an instance your not on and you have to find your instance and hope it's federated to the account your looking for. ...
I'm just trying to drum up motivation for a writing a script that takes Post from sites like eBay and posts them to Facebook (vice versa). Idk if it would be too niche. ...
My DSA chapter had a social where we were on a beach roasting marshmallows and sausages over a propane fire. Hard being in the Pensacola DSA. But I noticed about the various college major pursuits in the DSA most. A bit are police science majors, there's a lawyer, good amount of humanities Major. I'm in STEM as an EE major, but ...
I've been intercepting radio comms for retail chains and telling people to support any unionization effort and I even got onto meshtastic and reached out to anyone on there. also been looking into how to take junk we already have and convert it into other more useful (or even just giving the junk to people who need it).
I do wish my DSA chapter was more ambitious. there is our food share but we could do more canvassing to law the groundwork for politicians or even policies we advocate for.
I do think I'm figuring out politics is really a county wide game, as in county level is smallest level you can compete on. Big cities have there advantages like there's a lot of people and outreach is easy since everything is close together and city council positions have the smallest jurisdictions, but then what you can change is more limited. plus not everything is part of a city and unincorporated areas are subject to county so you can affect things like power and water for those areas if you go to the county level.
Toys generically is kinda big. It would be sad if all you could do was play with only one set for months. If you're constantly getting new-to-you toys then it's just something you enjoy and love.
I am a reseller so I do get new things to play with. Ironically I don't mess with toys that much. Old LCD screen toys are neat and leap frog stuff comes to mind.
He blocked me on mastodon but that's because I called him out to other I assume big foss developers. But it seems like he plays well with bigger names of fediverse
