New rumor? You mean rumors as soon as it was unlaunched. Nothing new about this.

Yeah I’m trying to look at this and understand almost anything from this and it’s actually impossible.

This is frankly bizarre. I don’t understand how you can even write that and reasonably think that the platform hosting the hypothetical defamation should have any liability there. Like this is actually a braindead take.

Some good titles in this batch. Started playing Lightyear Frontier last night.

Not how it works. Also your use of “becomes a publisher” suggests to me that you are misinformed - as so many people are - that there is some sort of a publisher vs platform distinction in Section 230. There is not.

Repealing Section 230 would actually have the opposite effect, and lead to less moderation as it would incentivize not knowing about the content in the first place.

Spiritfarer. Probably one of the most touching games I’ve ever played. What Remains of Edith Finch. Stardew Valley. Firewatch.

Looks interesting, but of course we all want to see more.

I feel the need to be pedantic here: the first amendment has nothing to do with speech on private platforms.

It’s a sandbox. My prediction is that it could be fun for up to an hour.

Nah the last thing these shows need are a bunch of armchair experts chipping in.

I think there may be some room for improvement on messaging there.

That’s true and fair.

… I feel like you can do this with the Mastodon admin already. Preferences > Administration > Custom Emojis. Enter in the domain whose emojis you want to see / get, search. Click the “select all” checkbox at the top, copy. If there are multiple pages, go to the additional pages.

Nothing actually. Faircamp is not actually inherently related to the fediverse.

Here is an explainer on architecture. It might be helpful. https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/5-5-2023-federation-architecture

Seems like there is a lot of people in this thread that are confused about BlueSky federating even means. BlueSky’s plans for federation have nothing to do with the fediverse. It’s about enabling federation with other AT protocol services, including self-hosting a personal data server.

The path forward I think would be some sort of a bridge service. Think of it as a translation layer that could take in updates from both ActivityPub and AT, and present to the opposing side like it were native. Something similar was developed for nostr to communicate with the fediverse, and it seems at least feasible in this case as well.

Unfortunately it seems like development on Tumblr has been reduced to a skeleton crew. I wouldn’t hold my breath for ActivityPub integration on that front now.

I would like to see some sort of bridge built to allow communication between AT protocol services and ActivityPub protocol services.
