I'm way more hopeful in a fully decentralized protocol like Forgefed* than some AT still-centralized thing. * https://forgefed.org/ https://forgefed.org/

- icy 4mo agoCool. It's been years since ForgeFed came out but it isn't anywhere nearly as federated as Tangled is. What gives?
- notpushkin 4mo agoIt’s funny that Bluesky is nowhere nearly as federated as Mastodon btw. (I guess people looking for Twitter replacement don’t really care to run their own PDS (or even know they have the option), while developers like tinkering with that kind of stuff.) No idea what went wrong with ForgeFed, yeah. --- Edit: > Cool. It's been years since ForgeFed came out but it isn't anywhere nearly as federated as Tangled is. What gives? Just read your other comments. Sorry, but I must point out that it would be polite to disclose that you’re working on Tangled, especially when posting takes like this on a competitor technology.
- Levitating 4mo agoLack of development. Federation is really complicated, but Forgejo has some foundation now (you can federate stars). It will likely require some grant money to become usable.
- Gualdrapo 4mo agoJust tried the link to Vervis, Firefox mobile yells about a SSL error, went around it and still it returned a 404... (but what I'd know, I thought this was about typography forges - didn't know there were also software forges...)
- tao_oat 4mo ago(OP here) I'd love to see more decentralized alternatives out there! AFAICT there is no actually-existing ForgeFed instances that I could use today, but I'm keeping an eye on it - let a thousand flowers bloom :)
