Is the Mozilla organization generally responsive to social media? I have had a hard time trying to figure out where the organization responds to publicly, generally.
I would love to have a Mozilla hosted email and calendar service from them, for example. I don't understand why they aren't branching out into more common web citizen needed services.
I realize that this article is about Wind + Solar, but given this breakthrough, can anyone who is an authority on the subject explain if EGS is also set to take off?
I realize that there's a million obvious answers; but as I type this in the part of the country currently roasting by the heatwave in the United States: will something like this ever happen for climate efforts?
It's not, though it does get partial funding from the US government. I've been for a few weeks now to try and unpack the ramifications of public funded social media.
The most common refrain that I get whenever this topic comes up is "First Amendment" - meaning that public funded social media should not be in the business of moderation; though I often wonder how come NPR, PBS, BBC and so on don't run their own social media websites (based on your deciding flavor of ActivityPub instances.)
I believe the German and Dutch governments run their own Mastodon instances, I don't understand at the moment why other governments don't follow this path.
Could someone in Europe educate me as to why it seems (at least to me) that Europe seems to be leading in leveraging the Fediverse, along with data governance policies (the Data Act, GDPR?) versus America?
I assume it's because Europe is adverse to American companies, and I assume that culture wise America will never adopt these kinds of strategies, but I'd like to hear from others on this.
A concern that I constantly see brought up is that although administration would be done by semi-public institutions; the First Amendment would require all to post, leaving the option of hate speech and spam flooding public social media.
I am not a lawyer so I am curious: is this an actual problem?
Interesting. I personally found the whole defining your schema up front to feeling like trying to construct the universe up front.
I’ve been trying to work on an alternative solution to SOLID, but I’m always double checking myself just to make sure that I’m not just simply failing to grasp the concepts.
Does there exist a medium between host moderators and user moderation the makes this work?
Wikipedia is self moderated and there are well moderated Reddits. The host of the ActivityPub site doesn’t have to do all the moderation, and there doesn’t seem to be a reason that users themselves couldn’t “mute” troublesome posters from their own feeds, right?
I want to acknowledge that feedback, because it’s useful.
As a follow question: is this a solvable problem between host moderation and user self moderation?
In other words: Let’s pretend NPR hosts a Reddit-like site whose primary objective is to facilitate discussion on topics shared by NPR.
NPR doesn’t outright ban everything unless it violates some terrible things.
Could user moderation NPR Reddit also expand on this? So long as they fall under the same guidelines?
I ask this question because it seems to me that there does exist some useful moderation: there are well moderated Reddits and for the most part Wikipedia is also pretty well moderated.
I’m curious - have you used SOLID? Either as a developer or a consumer?
I found myself struggling with Linked Data for quite some time now, and I have struggled with the idea that perhaps part of the problem with adoption of Linked Data is existing mental interia of RMDBS or other systems.
