There is a bright future where individual users can trivially (like one click deployment trivial) spin up a Mastodon and Matrix container and have their own social network and IM server running in minutes that federates with all the others in a giant decentralized web. Again.
I'll keep pressuring everyone I know to migrate to federated replacements for monolithic proprietary alternatives.
- colordrops 8y agoWhat are you using for "one click deployment" of Mastodon and Matrix?
- runyor 8y agoHave you ever heard about docker, cr-io (not sure if this one can be used standalone), buildah, podman? It probably won't be docker itself, but if you start deploy your stuff as docker containers now there will probably be a migration path to whatever it will be.
- colordrops 8y agoI was only aware of docker. Thanks for the list.
- amelius 8y agoIs it possible to connect Mastodon and Matrix somehow? For example, can one start a chat on Matrix with a friend they have on Mastodon in a convenient way?
- Arathorn 8y agoNobody seems to have written an ActivityPub bridge for Matrix yet, which is a shame as it'd be quite easy and really fun. (For instance, it could be implemented as a backend for https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost - our next-gen bridge framework). https://gitlab.com/ma1uta/mxtoot https://gitlab.com/ma1uta/mxtoot is a basic ActivityPub <-> Matrix crossposting bot tho.
