Can we devote some time to discussing Slack? As in, why are we all sending our every thought to a centralized server that can be hacked, and can can train AI with them? And why is Slack allowed to store transcripts but I can't?
My union uses Slack for organizing. How crazy is it that an organization in the cross hairs of a dangerous and emboldened government would do this? With everything going on right now, I'd love to be more active in the union, but must I really give up so much to this opaque platform?
Is anyone else struggling with these concerns? Do you know of viable Slack alternatives? Are there any hacks that make Slack less of a privacy invasion or make LLM training harder? Are there at least ways for me to save sessions the way I can with IRC? How do I resist Slack and not lose touch with groups that still use it?
Please boost for reach.

I understand the hype and desire to self-host Loops, and while I am working hard to get this shipped and open sourced, it's crucial to consider that people expect TikTok like polish.
I want to get Loops right this time, like super simple installation with out of the box federation.
I have been accused of trying to rugpull or whatever because I have delayed the release of the code, but trust me, it's worth the wait.
Have you seen Vidzy?
I'd rather delay and get it right.
@dansup@mastodon.social take your take your time Dan. Open source community has enough of half baked projects, with terrible UX decisions and other problems, which over time become too big to fix
In order to get the people from the biggest social media players, it must be done the right way ⭐️
Our new NLnet grant is officially signed! We're starting work 😊 The main focus is:
- Creating materials to support the Forgejo federation implementation
- Documentation for the specification
- Implementing the Vervis backed API in the Anvil frontend
Forgejo could enjoy more Go developers joining the federation team! It might be the best way to contribute to forge federation right now.

Please CW your posts about US politics. The functionality exists so that people who are following you can selectively dip into rough / controversial topics and preserve some semblance of mental health.
I've got auto-filtering on based on keywords, but it can't catch anything 🥴
I agree. I unfollowed that person that doesn't agree. It's not their call.
I get not CW'ing by accident, but being willfull about it is a red flag.
Hashtags are for categorizing, CWs are for content warnings.
I'm sorry I am just dumbstruck by how unsafe that person is.
People's welfare is not a "subjective" choice for him to decide.
One of them has this in their bio:
"A better world, by listening."
Kind of ironic.
La "Big Delete" della NSA: tutti i siti web della NSA e le pagine interne della rete che contengono parole vietate saranno cancellati
Oggi, la National Security Agency (NSA) sta pianificando una "Big Delete" di siti web e contenuti di rete interni che contengono una qualsiasi delle 27 parole vietate, tra cui "privilegio", "parzialità" e "inclusione". La "Big Delete", secondo una fonte della NSA e la corrispondenza interna esaminata da Popular Information, sta creando conseguenze indesiderate. Sebbene i siti web e gli altri contenuti siano presumibilmente cancellati per rispettare gli ordini esecutivi del Presidente Trump che prendono di mira diversità, equità e inclusione, o "DEI", la rete a strascico sta eliminando il lavoro "relativo alla missione". Secondo la fonte della NSA, che ha parlato a condizione di anonimato perché non è autorizzata a parlare con i media, il processo è "molto caotico", ma sta comunque andando avanti.
It's not easy to be a fediverse developer.
The rumors targeted at me largely comes from a small group of people I decided against working with.
Instead of perpetuating personal attacks, I'll remain focused on building.
Building better alternatives for the people.
@dansup@mastodon.social maybe start with asking less of validation and just straight to what you do instead

Meta accusata di aver utilizzato 81,7 TB di libri piratati per addestrare modelli di intelligenza artificiale
Meta sta affrontando accuse di aver scaricato oltre 81,7 terabyte di libri piratati per addestrare i suoi modelli di intelligenza artificiale, secondo documenti giudiziari appena desecretati. Queste rivelazioni sono emerse in una causa per violazione del copyright intentata da autori, tra cui Sarah Silverman, Richard Kadrey e Christopher Golden, che sostengono che Meta ha utilizzato le loro opere senza autorizzazione per sviluppare le sue tecnologie di intelligenza artificiale.

The biggest update yet is now available!
@pixelfed I still can't follow hashtags from within the app, and navigation is still very cumbersome, though.
🎉Problema risolto 🎉

"I don't remember what server I signed up on"
Okay that's it, I'm going back to my original plan. It will not be confusing to newcomers!
@dansup I think I saw that ticket- shouldn't they have a confirmation email with their server URL?
Hardest thing I've had to write in quite some time:
https://about.iftas.org/2025/02/06/funding-challenges-and-the-future-of-our-work/
tl;dr - we are running out of money and will not be able to pay our bills in April. As such, unless we can secure funding by end of February, we will be closing down some services and re-examining our scope of activities.
No! There's a lot more work to do! The present day federated social web is not enough! Today's ActivityPub is not enough! ATProto is not enough!
None of this stuff is enough!
Spritely started from one question: What can't the present-day fediverse do? What's next?
