Where @ethanz tells us about the cultural power of #DontLookUp:

"But there’s something Don’t Look Up gets right. Many of our #institutions are failing us. The experts don’t know what to do. The feelings of terror and helplessness lead people to behave strangely and unpredictably. McKay doesn’t offer us a solution to an ongoing #apocalypse, but this #film, at its best, offers us a moment of #empathy. Look past the machinations of the politicians and the media stars, and look towards the people in the background trying to make sense of a reality that no longer makes sense, disrupted by #COVID or #climatechange or by a slide into #authoritarianism. If there’s a solution to this polycrisis, this interconnected mess of apocalyptic threats, it’s in the #groups working to live through this scary moment, not through the politicians or celebrities who’ll get to escape to their bunkers or spaceships."

I mean, the Fediverse already has Lemmy, KBin, and MBin.

So there's already an ecosystem of pre-built communities out there.

/kbin is dead. Has been since last year. The last instances that haven't moved to Mbin are withering away.

However, in the "Lemmy clone" category, there's also PieFed, and Sublinks is still in development.

Also, the Facebook alternative Friendica ("Facebook alternative" not as in "Facebook clone", but as in "better than Facebook") has had groups since its launch in, 2010, five and a half years before Mastodon. Hubzilla has had groups since 2012 when it still was a Friendica fork named Red. (streams) (2021) and Forte (2024) have groups, too. All four are part of the same software family, created by the same developer. And interacting with their groups from Mastodon is somewhat smoother than interacting with a Lemmy community.

On Friendica, a group is simply another user account, but with different settings: In "Mastodon speak", it automatically boosts any DM sent to it to all its followers. In reality, it's a little more complicated because, unlike Mastodon, Friendica has a concept of threaded conversations. (No, seriously, Mastodon doesn't have it. If you think Mastodon has it, use Friendica for a year or two as your only daily driver, and then think again.)

Likewise, on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, it's another channel with similar settings.

Hey #fediverse, it's been a while now that I'm looking for this 🔥 #house #track that #pingu likes so much. Really hope that I'm connected to the right bubble of #musicnerds who can help me find the track #id. If anyone knows good #groups that this post should travel to, please do mention them. Thanks!

@Jasper Bienvenido The only talk about a Discord "alternative" in the Fediverse comes from people who want 1:1 clones of all kinds of commercial stuff with an absolutely identical UX, but free and open-source and decentralised with ActivityPub.

Otherwise, for just simply chatting, including multi-user chatrooms, there are Matrix (iOS/Android: Element) and XMPP (iOS: Monal IM, Android: Conversations). They are not part of the Fediverse, but they are free, open-source and decentralised. And they are alternatives to iMessage, Telegram and WhatsApp as well.

For discussion groups/forums, and very much in the Fediverse as in connected Mastodon, there are
  • Lemmy (Reddit clone)
  • Mbin (like Reddit, but better)
  • PieFed (like Reddit, but better)
  • Friendica (like Facebook, but better and more powerful)
  • Hubzilla (like Facebook, but much better and much, much more powerful)
  • (streams) (like Facebook, but much better and more powerful)
  • Forte (like Facebook, but much better and more powerful)

I am responding to another email chain.... Thinking to myself... I wish more of my friends/family are on mastodon. This email is exactly how I use mastodon. Same with a text message.

Only things missing are:
- Encryption on private toots.
- Ability to send files like a pdf.
- Groups. A group of contacts that can be saved as one name. Each contact can receive/respond/remove own contact from group.

Yeah. I feel like when we finally get Facebook style groups on the Fedi, it will go to a whole new level. I'm aware that there's a couple of different implementations floating around out there, but they don't seem consistently supported across fedi apps, nor decently featured (eg private groups, group admins etc)

Entrevue super intéressante sur Mastodon et le Fédivers, avec 2 personnes que j'aime beaucoup: Erin Kissane et Darius Kazemi
overcast.fm/+BFLqHoz-ko

Iels parlent des nouveaux développements dans le Fédivers, de la modération décentralisée, de l'importance des groupes privés auto-gérés sur les médias sociaux, et de l'arrivée de Bluesky.

Et le langage utilisé est accessible. Pas trop de jargon d'ingénieurs😛
