#decentralized networks

[thatonebirdwrites]

A thread I wrote on a different platform. I'm transferring it here.

‪Matt Browner Hamlin‬ ‪of @mattbh.com‬ (on AT Protocol) WRITES: @aoc.bsky.social e-mail going after TikTok & social platforms collaborating with Trump - with a shout out to @bsky.app

ALT TEXT: First of all, Donald Trump is not president right now. He's a private citizen. He does not have access to presidential powers. He does not have the ability to do any of that. Please understand that TikTok's decision to name Trump in the notification is a choice. They are signaling that they have agreed to privately collaborate with Donald Trump and the Trump administration. For all of those concerns that people were saying that TikTok is gonna be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese, understand they're using it as a propaganda tool for the right. Now, I want you all to put all the pieces together because what this effectively means is that every mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing, with the exception of Blue Sky (but Blue Sky is still very small, relatively). (The thread: https://bsky.app/profile/thebirdwrites.bsky.social/post/3lg5p5lhyqk2i )

MY RESPONSE (I'm speaking to those that may see the above post and fear all social media sites are falling to fascists):

Not every social media site is being taken over. People forget that the fediverse (a decentralized web) still exists. There are servers of people who are decentralized communities of Leftists - some use the Mastodon client, some use Sharkey or Misskey, Friendica, and others. Stop forgetting them.

This isn't to say that far-right fascists don't exist on the fediverse. They do, but many defederate/block them. (EDIT: This also isn't to say bigotry doesn't happen on fediverse, it most certainly does and needs to be better handled).

For example, threads (run by Meta) is fascist transphobic racist trash.

Disabled.social, the disabled server I help mod, defederated/blocked them. This keeps us safe from those trolls. ‪ A majority of centralized social media like Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads), Tiktok, Twitter/X are all owned by corporations and funded by venture capitalists. THOSE are the ones that have already been taken over as Right-wing fascism already.

Bluesky isn't immune to this as it is also centralized. ‪

Bluesky has shown a willingness to allow bad faith actors that harass and harm trans people. I haven't really seen a resolution to that yet, just people stopped discussing it. That's testing the waters. Bluesky has also taken venture capitalist funding. It's protocol is a centralized silo. ‪

Will Blue Sky go the way of the others? Maybe. Based on Bluesky's own plans and documentation, they show a strong tendency toward profit and growth paradigms.

Will those community servers in the Fediverse fare the same? No, because they are based on community and safety paradigms NOT growth. ‪

Decentralized networks in the Fediverse include these open-source clients: Mastodon, Misskey, Sharkey, Pixelfed, Peertube, Diaspora,Writefreely, and many more. People like myself can host a server on any of these for people to join. That community decides on how to handle moderation, updates, etc. ‪

All of the fediverse uses the ActivityPub Protocol, which is NOT what bluesky uses. ActivityPub has more privacy built into it. (Edited to add: this is in comparison to AT protocol. It's not enough privacy - more should have been built in, but of the two, AT is worse in regards to privacy. Also, protocol and clients are not the same. Protocol is like infrastructure and clients is buildings atop it. The features in clients on ActivityPub hold far more privacy than the BlueSky client on AT).

Bluesky's AT Protocol has no privacy features (for one, I'm furious that it allows one to query block lists of people. ActivityPub doesn't allow queries like that, which is the difference I reference above.)

Open-source developers are making bridges between Blue sky and the rest of the larger fediverse, but the bridges aren't always stable as the two protocols don't talk well to each other.

So Blue Sky sits in a precarious spot, where their venture capitalists could push it toward an X demise. ‪

But the larger fediverse (those dozens of different clients) are not affected by profit-driven, growth-paradigms. Most servers like disabled.social are run by people like me. Folks who live at home, maintaining software, so people can chat. Costs for hosting are paid for by donations.

However, centralized networks do not want you to know about decentralized servers. They don't want you to leave their silos, so they try to make it look unappetizing, while making their centralized services as easy to join as possible. But this leaves us to the whims of capitalist propaganda.

It's easy for centralized social media to become a propaganda machine (like Tiktok, X, and Facebook are doing) because they trap their users in their silos. The captive audiences end up seeing whatever these silos allow in.

Fediverse, since it's decentralized, is too diffuse to capture. ‪

Focus of decentralized must become:

keeping the servers up and running (donations, combating attacks on Internet access).

Finding the safe servers where the community is good at blocking bigoted trolls and right-wing fascists and good at moderation.

Solidarity between marginalized groups to protect each other.

Working together to fight the growing fascist state.

Teaching and beefing up safety and security culture to help us survive the growing fascism

Teaching and showing how to engage in collective action, community building, and horizontal democracy (See book: Anarchic Agreements https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1286)

Our routes of communication is hindered, yes, by centralized networks falling under the control of far-right fascists, but my above thread is a reminder to all of you that not all social media has been taken over. Marginalized populations exist on the fediverse and are fighting back there too. ‪

Remember, Community is the only way we'll survive this. They want us isolated and easy to destroy. That's why they are doing huge spectacles right away to demoralize us.

As long as our community continues to exist, as long as we continue to write and create art, we are resisting and surviving. ‪

Do not let the huge spectacles and take over of centralized sites demoralize you.

Community can be built. We can work together to build that community. It won't be easy to build and maintain. We all will have roles to play for that. But it can be done. We can survive and defeat these fascists.

Addendum: I will add that although I discussed decentralized versus centralized -- I was focusing on the existence of alternatives, so that people didn't lose hope or think that all social media is now right-wing/fascist run.

So, having written that thread, I want to be clear that the fediverse desperately needs better moderation tools for the building up of the security and safety culture. Racism, ableism, and transphobia happens even in Leftist circles, so to keep the fediverse working for us, to build up solidarity and community, we need tools to combat that better.

We also need better documentation that's easier for newcomers to learn the ropes if they wish to get more involved in the developer side. I consider this part of security and safety culture -- building the tools for it and making it accessible.

The three forms of unlimited decentralized storage

When researching ways to store files in a decentralized, location-independent manner, I came across IPFS, Swarm, and ZeroNet. These tools offer decentralized storage solutions that are secure and don't charge for storage as they use their users' computing resources. Upon initial review, these tools appear to be promising.

InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a decentralized file storage protocol that allows for unlimited data storage capacity. It is free and has no usage limits, and uses encryption to ensure that network content cannot be intercepted or manipulated during transfer. IPFS has authentication features that allow users to verify the integrity of network content before accessing it, preventing the spread of false or malicious content on the network. IPFS is considered secure because it is decentralized, uses encryption to ensure content privacy, supports authentication features, and has a large community of developers working to maintain network security.  Access this tool at this link: https://ipfs.io/ or https://ipfs.tech/

Swarm is a decentralized file storage platform that promises to be resistant to censorship. It is free and has no usage limits, and uses a distributed architecture to store data redundantly at multiple points in the network, ensuring the system is resilient to failures and interruptions. The data is encrypted and divided into small fragments before being stored on the network. Swarm also offers cryptocurrency-based financial rewards to those who provide physical disk space for storage, making it more secure and functional as users have an interest in maintaining it. Its goal is to become a global hard drive. Access this tool at this link: https://ethswarm.org/

ZeroNet is a well-known platform for researching private networks and decentralization. It is free, has no usage limits, and allows for the creation and hosting of sites anonymously and securely. Users can set access permissions for each site or application they create. ZeroNet uses a distributed and encrypted storage system that allows for free and unlimited file storage. Decentralization makes it difficult for a malicious attacker to access or damage the data, and only the data owner has the decryption key. ZeroNet is also resistant to distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and has techniques to make users anonymous by hiding their IP addresses. Access this tool at this link: https://zeronet.io/

Decentralized storage services offer an alternative to centralized storage services. Personally, I prefer using peer-to-peer technologies to securely and privately store and share my files without relying on centralized servers. These tools are free and have no usage limits, and they offer encryption and redundancy features that ensure my data is safe and available. Each tool has its own features and benefits, and I choose the best option based on my specific needs and preferences. Decentralized storage tools are an attractive alternative for anyone who values privacy, security and autonomy in managing their digital files.

Please note that this is my personal opinion and should not be considered the only perspective. It is important to gather information and seek opinions from multiple sources before making any decisions.

Short Form (Tumblr)

• He's never seen a signal like this. It blared in flashing red as if it was a warning for something catastrophic to happen. Yet something oddly familiar. It felt like deja vu. He desperately attempted to decipher the frequency as he made his way back to the human.

• Honesty is the best policy right? You haven't lied since being an adult, locking your past away and turning a new leaf. But in this moment, you could almost excuse it. A pair of glaring yet -is that worry? Optics stare right at you. He cradled you in his hands yet spouting absolutely nothing but profanity. Ironic it wasn't even a day ago he was the one telling you that you swore that much.

• "uh" With a small sigh you start to speak. A half truth will have to do. "yeah. I touched it." But you actively leave out the fact you snorted it. You could see him opening his mouth to protest something, but quickly shut it not long after.

��� The frequency ringing in his audials have start to fade. If that's any indication of anything, it means the worst has passed. Ratchet didn't know why it bothered him so much, most likely it was just because medics are always high strung and always on alert.

• You two argue again, back and forth with Ratchet reprimanding you about how dangerous that was, and you shooting back that he only met you because you're always getting into things. Eventually he kicks you out the cave as you're banned from energon in whole, and he needed to excavate the raw crystals.

• It was only when you had a chance for yourself that you thought about it. How tf are you guys gonna process it?? Your place isn't small by any means, but even a house would be too small for him to even stick his head through the doors?? You're starting to really regret not shoving him into Raf's little hands and making it his problem.

• Ratchet emerges moments later while you're deep in thought wondering why they couldn't just contact each others or whatever the "harbinger" was. You were going to ask him about it until you realize he wasn't holding anything. "Where's the energon?" you ask him.

• On the way back, he explained that there's some sort of 'subspace' something like a blackhole that just disintegrates materialistic objects and can yank it back out in whole? You also learn some terminology of the cybertronian anatomy, things like hands are servos, feet are pedes, and a bunch of other things you've definitely have forgotten. But the one thing you did remember, was that they weren't able to contact the rest of the team as the Decepticons were keeping tabs on their communications.

• ? Wouldn't the right course of action is to just jam the communications? Ratchet scoffed at the idea. "You? Jamming alien Decepticon technology?" You argue with him that if they can't do anything server side, then at least try on the client side? If you can't smash their LAN room, (or whatever equivalent of it) then at least encrypt the messages they send? or hell, encrypt and distribute packets through other IPs, -or whatever their version of the internet is. A decentralized message.

• Ratchet is not onboard. One single one step and their cover could be totally blown. The cons can easily decrypt human encryption, after all, its extremely primitive. But you're determined. Where is this ego coming from? It's not ego, its sheer will and stubbornness to back down.

• You two pull up back into the garage. And with still no way of refining energon, Ratchet still has not been able to refuel. He tells you he'll just shut down and you're instantly thrown into a panic. That is until he explains it's just the equivalent of going to sleep, or recharge. So much for your unintended sympathetic nervous system running overtime. All this time you thought he was trying to die. Regardless, you hatch a plan. At this rate he will die if he doesn't get some sustenance into him. Without any other connections, your best bet was to contact Raf and that black and yellow muscle car.

• It wasn't until the human has left him alone and returned to her apartment that Ratchet realized what nagging frequency humming in his audials were. It was a life signal. Almost throwing him for a loop nearly smacking the celling half transformed. Not unlike that time Cliffjumper's life signal came back online from the dark energon. But oh so faint almost like the spark was holding on for dear life. "...How...? In a human? From merely touching energon?"

💫 Join the Fediverse! 💫

Greetings, fellow bloggers! We welcome you to join us in discovering, honoring, and promoting the potential future of social networking—commonly referred to as the "Fediverse."

The Fediverse, or Federation Universe, refers to a collective of online platforms that utilize the web protocol known as ActivityPub, which has set a standard of excellence in regards to both protecting and respecting users' online privacies.

There's a good chance in the past few years that you've caught wind of the fedi family's critically acclaimed Mastodon; however, there are many other unique platforms worth your consideration...

✨ Where To Begin?

Conveniently enough, from the minds of brilliant independent developers, there already likely exists a Fediverse equivalent to your favorite socials. Whether it's an opinion from the critics, or from the community alike—the following popular websites are commonly associated with one another:

Friendica 🐰 = Facebook Mastodon 🐘 = Twitter Pixelfed 🐼 = Instagram PeerTube 🐙 = YouTube Lemmy 🐭 = Reddit

It's worth mentioning, too, a few other sites and forks thereof that are worthy counterparts, which be: Pleroma 🦊 & Misskey 🐱, microblogs also similar to Twitter/Mastodon. Funkwhale 🐋 is a self-hosting audio streamer, which pays homage to the once-popular GrooveShark. For power users, Hubzilla 🐨 makes a great choice (alongside Friendica) when choosing macroblogging alternatives.

✨ To Be Clear...

To address the technicalities: aside from the "definitive" Fediverse clients, we will also be incorporating any platforms that utilize ActivityPub-adjacent protocols as well. These include, but are not limited to: diaspora*; AT Protocol (Bluesky 🦋); Nostr; OStatus; Matrix; Zot; etc. We will NOT be incorporating any decentralized sites that are either questionably or proven to be unethical. (AKA: Gab has been exiled.)

✨ Why Your Privacy Matters

You may ask yourself, as we once did, "Why does protecting my online privacy truly matter?" While it may seem innocent enough on the surface, would it change your mind that it's been officially shared by former corporate media employees that data is more valuable than money to these companies? Outside of the ethical concerns surrounding these concepts, there are many other reasons why protecting your data is critical, be it: security breaches which jeopardize your financial info and risk identity theft; continuing to feed algorithms which use psychological manipulation in attempts to sell you products; the risk of spyware hacking your webcams and microphones when you least expect it; amongst countless other possibilities that can and do happen to individuals on a constant basis. We wish it could all just be written off as a conspiracy... but, with a little research, you'll swiftly realize the validity of these claims are not to be ignored any longer. The solution? Taking the decentralized route.

✨ Our Mission For This Blog

Our mission for establishing this blog includes 3 core elements:

To serve as a hub which anybody can access in order to assist themselves in either: becoming a part of the Fediverse, gaining the resources/knowledge to convince others to do the very same, and providing updates on anything Fedi-related.

We are determined to do anything within our power to prevent what the future of the Internet could become if active social users continue tossing away their data, all while technologies are advancing at faster rates with each passing year. Basically we'd prefer not to live in a cyber-Dystopia at all costs.

Tumblr (Automattic) has expressed interest in switching their servers over to ActivityPub after Musk's acquisition of then-Twitter, and are officially in the transitional process of making this happen for all of us. We're hoping our collective efforts may at some point be recognized by @staff, which in turn will encourage their efforts and stand by their decision.

With that being stated, we hope you decide to follow us here, and decide to make the shift—as it is merely the beginning. We encourage you to send us any questions you may have, any personal suggestions, or corrections on any misinformation you may come across.

From the Tender Hearts of, ✨💞 @disease & @faggotfungus 💞✨

a relatively concise explanation for any of those confused about decentralized social platforms. [ie: Mastodon, diaspora*, Friendica, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Lemmy, Bluesky, etc.]

[essential-randomness]

Enter the FujoVerse™

Starting 2024's content creation journey with a bang, it's time to outline the principles behind the FujoVerse™: an ambitious (but realistic) plan to turn the web back into a place of fun, joy, and connection, where people build and nurture their own communities and software. (You can also read the article on my blog)

The Journey

As those who follow my journey with @bobaboard or read my quarterly newsletter (linked in the article) know, the used-to-be-called BobaVerse™ is a collection of projects I've been working on since 2020 while pondering an important question: how do we "fix" the modern social web?

Obviously the joyless landscape that is the web of today is not something a single person can fix. Still, I loved and owed the internet too much to see it wither.

After countless hours of work, I found 3 pillars to work on: community, software ownership and technical education.

Jump in after the cut to learn more about how it all comes together!

Community

Community is where I started from, with good reason! While social networks might trick us into thinking of them as communities, they lack the characteristics that researchers identify as the necessary base for "true community": group identity, shared norms, and mutual concern.

Today, I'm even more convinced community is a fundamental piece of reclaiming the web as a place of joy. It's alienating, disempowering, and incredibly lonely to be surrounded by countless people without feeling true connection with most of them (or worse, feeling real danger).

Software Ownership and Collaboration

As I worked with niche communities "software ownership" also became increasingly important to me: if we cannot expect mainstream tech companies to cater to communities at the margins, it follows that these communities must be able to build and shape their own software themselves.

Plenty of people have already discussed how this challenge goes beyond the tech. Among many, "collaboration" is another sticking point for me: effective collaboration requires trust and psychological safety, both of which are in short supply these days (community helps here too, but it's still hard).

Education (Technical and Beyond)

As I worked more and more with volunteers and other collaborators, however, another important piece of the puzzle showed itself: the dire state of educational material for non-professional web developers. How can people change the web if they cannot learn how to *build* the web?

(And yes, learning HTML and CSS is absolutely important and REAL web development. But to collaborate on modern software you need so much more. Even further, people *yearn* for more, and struggle to find it. They want that power, and we should give it to them.)

Once again, technical aspects aren't the only ones that matter. Any large-scale effort needs many skills that society doesn't equip us with. If we want to change how the web looks, we must teach, teach, TEACH! If you've seen me put so much effort into streaming, this is why :)

And obviously, while I don't go into them in this article, open source software and decentralized protocols are core to "this whole thing".

The Future

All of this said, while I've been working on this for a few years, I've struggled to find the support I need to continue this work. To this end, this year I'm doing something I'm not used to: producing content, gaining visibility, and putting my work in front of the eyes of people that want to fight for the future of the web.

This has been a hard choice: producing content is hard and takes energy and focus away from all I've been doing. Still, I'm committed to doing what it takes, and (luckily) content and teaching go hand in hand. But the more each single person helps, the less I need to push for wide reach.

If you want to help (and read the behind the scenes of all I've been working on before everyone else), you can subscribe to my Patreon or to my self-hosted attempt at an alternative.

I deeply believe that in the long term all that we're building will result in self-sustaining projects that will carry this mission forward. After all, I'm building them together with people who understand the needs of the web in a way that no mainstream company can replicate.

Until we get there, every little bit of help (be it monetary support, boosting posts, pitching us to your friends, or kind words of encouragement and support) truly matters.

In exchange, I look forward to sharing more of the knowledge and insights I've accrued with you all :)

And once again, to read or share this post from the original blog, you can find it here.

Understanding ActivityPub

ActivityPub is an open, decentralized protocol designed to facilitate social networking across diverse platforms. Developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and published as a recommendation in January 2018, it aims to empower users with more control over their data and online presence. ActivityPub serves as a bridge that connects different platforms into a cohesive ecosystem, often referred to as the Fediverse (short for "federated universe").

[estranhossonhos]

Currently venturing on Mastodon. Great alternative to 99.9% of all current social media platforms. 100% recommend if you are looking to decentralize social media + run away from every platform owned by those crazy greedy multimillionaires + that only wants to gather/sell data =» to properly manipulate you, the media and world politics.

Sidenote: I will not be hold accountable for consequences of my reactions if I witness another person trivializing the “refugee” by referring to themselves because of the whole tiktok ban and zuckerberg's latest statements. and by the way Wake-up people: amazon, google, meta, microsoft, the 1001 musk's capital “ventures”, trump and all right-wing meat bags like him, that hoarder richnesses beyond our wildest imagination, while billions of people are fighting to survive every-fucking-single-day, while those 1% are using us for their entertainment! All of their fake social-consciousness, “goodwill”, donations publicity stunts, … it's all bullshit. Their evil-doings are not recent either. They are just no longer afraid of showing their true colours because they are above the law. In fact, they are the law. And we are choosing to remain numb, while trying to fight against this machine, and crying about one less available social media to infinite scroll into oblivion.

Don't want to sound like a broken record nor cringy, but ...

Distributed social media - Mastodon & Fediverse Explained

That’s an awesome explanation of the Fediverse - a huge step towards social networks decentralization. This is for sure the future of social networking, the remaining question is timing only. Networks (any, not social only) are more resilient/robust while being decentralized. To say more strictly, it’s the only possible way for networks to evolve in the long run. 

Thanks to the author of the video @savjee, it’s totally amazing that it was published more than 5 years ago.

My personal step towards decentralizing is here .
