Osada – ActivityPub and Zot6 social networking
- dddw 8y agowish this stuff would take off, but I'm sceptical if it will ever happen. Somehow I feel something is missing in the general concepts of these decentral projects. You don't want to emphasize the latter, people want to come together to the same spot. Don't want to make them feel they meet at the wrong place.
- phoe-krk 8y agoMake it possible for them to meet wherever they come from. "Decentralized" doesn't mean "disconnected"; I can use my Mastodon account to have conversations with people from tens, if not hundreds of different servers, each being able to see the full conversation anyway.
- StavrosK 8y agoNot only that, but you can follow their "Instagram" (i.e. Pixelfed) account from your "Twitter" (i.e. Mastodon) account.
- anarcat 8y agoNowhere does this say what Zot6 actually is or why this matter. Lots of buzzwords... what actually is "hyper-drive"? Star Wars stuff? Dat protocol? I know about ActivityPub already, but what the heck is actually going on here?

Earlier revisions of the zot protocol dealt with the creation of nomadic identities and cross-domain authentication to enable a decentralised network with features rivaling large centralised providers. Zot/6 builds on those concepts and streamlines many of the interactions, applying lessons learned over decades of building decentralised systems.
