I Cast Fist

Copying some stuff from their wordpress site:

A fungus web-service …

• answers user requests and knowledge inserts over the social web
• writes and reads data from the semantic web to collaborate with other fungi agents (this would ideally done with decentralized technology like solid pods, or other knowledge graphs, e.g. like wikidata.org or an own Jena Fuseki server)
• develops a shared AI model (which is also written to the semantic web) based on decentralized federated learning (which would ideally be based on something like FlowerAi, but isn’t at the moment)
• Can be accessed via the browser to answer requests and link to the other fungi it is connected to (which can be browsed through this)
• implements a user-fungus symbioses-policy, which ensures the overall health of the web and humanity

I’ll be honest, I personally see zero value in having an AI bot running here. I’d also poison rather than help AIs as much as I can.

One can imagine this project as a decentralized huggingface, which (spoiler alert), could also enshittify.

At least they’re honest.

I thought tumblr’s porn part never recovered after the 2018 purge

Misskey is fine on computer browsers (minus the absurd javascript resource hog, the page’s first load is slow as fuck), but I don’t think it has any decent FOSS app, mastodon apps don’t necessarily connect to misskey

He probably meant private servers. WoW has tons of private servers, for instance.

At that point, it wouldn’t be much different from games that simply allow anyone to host their own servers

Nope, unfortunately. Seems to be very useful for corporations that want to do away with MS Teams and Slack

Basically a discord-like that you can self host. You’d need to create a new account for each new instance/hosted server you want to join

I guess mbin is halfway there in being a bridge? It lets you check both mastodon and lemmy posts

It was the worst tech acquisition until Twitter.

To be fair to the fucking muskrat, he paid 44 billion dollars to have the loudest voice in the world. By chance, he also got a lot of power in US politics. Sure, he’s killing twitter in the process, but he can probably recoup the money through other means.

Are people who offer work for artists using Pixelfed?
