But why cram a finite-based system into a non-finite universe ? What's the point ? Haven't we understood that private property and ownership are not, in fact, better than sharing and common usage ? The digital world allows us to a

Interesting. Considering the number of MAU to be around 350 million, that's a bit fewer than 1000 persons per server. Of course it's not that simple, because not all servers are the same and more importantly not all users are the

There are multiple libraries and software giving you a gateway, but there's no public gateway. It would fall into problematic use in less than an hour because of the insanity that IP is, and it would completely contradict the whole ide

This would be "interoperable" in that it's easy to go from one framework/software to the other, but it's still not transparent. The current way of doing things is to use the url of the object in the search bar, and

Activities are immutable but objects are not. Mutability allows posts to be edited, for instance. The ids in ActivityPub also aren't URLs, they're random strings. EDIT: They actually are URLs, my mistake

But it doesn't matter what each software does because the necessary endpoints are defined in your actor object linked from your webfinger entry. That's the only endpoints the user agent is supposed to see and use. Now if you'

I don't won't to be tethered 24/7 to the internet to use my mobile phone. Data exchange isn't free, both in money and in environmental impact. That's a flawed assumption to begin with.

If understanding what the fediverse is and why the whole point is the diversity of servers, then you're not ready to discover the fediverse. It's not a bad thing in itself. The fediverse is not just another service, another app, a

Indeed, you're right: the worst that can happen is that chat recipients would see a "your security number has changed". But nothing will happen when talking to a whole new person, or when you join a group you've never be
