One of the big conceptual questions that's unresolved in the #Fediverse is: Just what exactly is an instance for?
Yep, it's a separate installation of server software. But what exactly does instance 1 give me compared to instance 2?
Answer A: it makes no difference except on policy: who runs it, what are their TOS, moderation policy etc. The Local feed has no significance.
Answer B: Beyond that, it defines a community. The local feed is essential.
Which should it be?

A video of a curly haired man take off on a Harley Davidson, turn around up the block and then ride up on a tilting utility trailer. The trailer is hitched up to a white work van.
My brother is taking it to Salem OR. I will hook up with him there in a few days.
From there we are heading to Sekiu WA for salmon fishing.
I will tow the fishing boat with my camper/pickup.
He will be driving the van with two Harleys on a bigger trailer.
We will be there for two weeks, so having the bikes for getting around will be fun.
New podcast show and media project to check out!
"In this episode, we have a conversation with a compa about the latest communiqué and zine from Re-Existir Media, titled We Are All Illegal: An Intro to Brown Anarchy. As they describe it, Re-Existir Media is “a new community info-project coming to the Inland Empire.” With a seasonal bulletin, zines, “how-to” manuals, and resources, the project aims to share with its local geography an analysis of political economy, US politics, anarchist praxis, and oppositional ideologies rooted in Latin American or brown autonomous projects. In the conversation, many topics emerge, bubbling from We Are All Illegal, determined to ask more questions without shying away from some proposals. Here, some might be inspired to think about the recent waves of ICE raids in their local geographies and developing methods to confront the Trump administration’s mission for mass deportation."

“If the proscription is not defeated by public and political pressure, it will be the precedent for a much broader attack on the right to protest, affecting everyone who has ever engaged in politics even indirectly. The right to take collective action is gradually being carved out of our public lives, and we cannot allow that to continue.”

Se trata de un encuentro de bailarines, músicos, amigos y curiosos del Bal Folk.
La actividad se divide en dos partes:
21:00-22:00h: Clase abierta de Bal Folk: un espacio para aprender los bailes de Europa desde sus bases, donde cada día enseñamos entre 3 y 5 bailes diferentes dando las pautas más básicas y algunas variantes.
22:00h-23:30h: Baile. Unos días con música pinchada, otras veces con Jam Session o Grupos emergentes en directo. Estos dos ultimos formatos funcionan:
- Concierto de grupos emergentes madrileños: donde tocarán por primera vez (o casi), los nuevos proyectos que se están formando en Madrid, así que si eres músico, tienes un nuevo proyecto y te apetece estrenar con nosotros, ¡no dudes en escribirnos!
- Jam Session: también habrá espacio para una Jam de baile, guiada por algún músico experto del género. ¿Eres músico? Trae tu instrumento, únete y ¡te invitamos!
Además en Rompeolas tenemos una barra donde picotear, tomarse unas cervezas y charlar mientras disfrutamos del espacio.
La entrada siempre será de aportación voluntaria y consciente (mínimo aprox. 3€) para sufragar los gastos de la sala, excepto que vengas a tocar... ¡te esperamos!
Things I would like every young web engineer to learn:
- anything you can do in CSS + HTML, you *should* do in CSS + HTML
- *framework du jour* is not a platform, it's a high-interest loan against your future capacity. The platform is the platform
- understanding the memory hierarchy *always* matters
- client-side isn't easier than the server, and "generalists" usually suck at client-side. Mind the (packet) gap
- managers who are not technical are not useful
- put users first, always

Second-order things to learn:
- the way browsers work isn't static, but it also isn't changing that fast. Learn as much as you can and update every few years; particularly about networking and the rendering loop.
- JS is the slowest way to do *anything* on the web. Never let it become the way you do everything.
- a11y isn't nice-to-have, it's the job
- shipping fast almost never matters as much as quality, & there are simple heuristics you can use to understand the difference

They own everything now, you should know that!
(Yes, Disney co-produced the most recent two seasons and in most regions it's exclusively available on Disney+. And even the BBC's continued involvement is looking tenuous.)
They don't own the show/IP though. Yet.
@coolcoder360 I think they have streaming rights + are co-funding the production (for the past two seasons). What I don't know is if they can continue production if the BBC pulls out?
The exact details of Disney's contract seem a bit hazy. Probably by design.
@vampiress @coolcoder360 They are/were footing almost the entirety of the production budget in exchange for exclusive streaming rights outside the BBC.

"He already sent troops into Los Angeles under the guise of “restoring order.” But I’m hearing it’s just the beginning.
"More deployments are coming. More cities. More ICE raids.
"And this time, they’re not just targeting Central Americans. They’re targeting Muslims—under the pretext of Iranian “sleeper cells.”"

Iran Will Close Strait of Hormuz
(updated graphic)
In a decisive response to the US aggression against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities, the Iranian parliament has voted to close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
Das Bild zeigt eine Karte von Florida mit Handgeschriebenen Texten und einem Zeichen. Die Karte zeigt die Küstenlinie Floridas mit Städten wie Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Orlando, Tampa, Miami und West Palm Beach. Ein großes schwarzes Pfeil zeigt auf West Palm Beach, umgeben von einem Kreis. Auf der Karte steht in großen schwarzen Buchstaben "DEAR IRAN" und darunter "He's on the golf course" (Er ist auf dem Golfplatz). Ein gelbes Zeichenfinger mit einem großen "L" zeigt auf West Palm Beach. Die Karte ist von Google Maps, und im unteren rechten Bereich sind Symbole für "36,7 Tsd." und "GO 2,555" zu sehen.

And people did moved from email providers because moderation, if certain provider had a better spam management people moved to that. I would say that was one of the reasons gmail won over hotmail (and storage).

tchambers@indieweb.social this, in a nutshell. The fediverse vid AP can support both A and B, and we can wax poetic about how one is superior to the other but both are legitimate UX decisions by their respective software stacks.

depends on our goals. depends on the software. communities (social networking) or public conversation (social media). both?
to me, mastodon rn is about replicating original twitter. the universal civic/cultural forum. answer A.
but then why be decentralized? because centralization concentrates power which breaks the whole system.
long-term, we need most using software that does all the basics w servers based on locality. add features for local community needs.
Tim Chambers
in reply to william.maggos • • •@wjmaggos @julian @tommi
My point: there isn't just one "fediverse wide proper goal" and there need not be.
For some communities its goal is to be it's own focused cadre of folks on more or less one topic for others its more general and mixed use and not one thing, more or less a ton of general things.
And both are fine.
william.maggos
in reply to Tim Chambers • • •@tchambers @julian @tommi
but isn't a server usually either primarily publicly facing or internal? part of the public conversation or focused on serving a community? I think that's the major distinction, lining up with answer A or B. Twitter was the former while Facebook was the latter, primarily.
I think most people prefer the latter, connecting with people they know but not having a public persona. thus the usage stats. but the former now existing has serious repercussions in society.
