    Tibetan Buddhism

    Longform

    Context : someone in a survivors support group was asking this question and this was my reply, I’m archiving it on my blog in the hope people stop looking for guru’s, stop losing their discernment in their spiritual journey. What makes a good History teacher? What makes a good social science teacher?

    The whole point of the #fediverse is to enable “mutual coexistence” on top of a protocol that everyone can build with. We don’t need to agree on everything & we won’t but we can speak & understand each other on the same layer. It’s beautiful ❤️

    Next step for ActivityPub by @manton@manton.org

    Is it possible to implement a social web platform by reading the suite of #ActivityPub specs, and have that new platform be compatible with #Mastodon?

    Such an amateurish and improvised identity switch is, I think, the epitome of the Mollusk way of thinking/working : used to have dogs at his mercy that just have to do things based on his whimps

    I wish the Twitter cross-posting feature from micro.blog wasn’t centralized to one API access to Twitter, since anyone can get 1500 tweets a month, it would make sense to allow configuring our own API access to Twitter?

    It’s almost funny to watch the X drama enfold on Twitter and being able to talk about it from the open web, where a delusional “genius” isn’t able to dictate the rules, much less destroy 16 years of the web.

    The Mollusk hostile acquisition of #Twitter remains one of the biggest destruction of collective digital #memory in recent #History.

    One that will go down as one of the saddest and most toxic takeover of an ecosystem in the history of the web.

    #ElonMusk is a parasite in every sectors, not a genius.

    Getting a report from my VPS provider because #okcinfo server is supposedly “spying” on this unknown snitch.

    So I can only see two targets : OKC itself or RIGPA organization.

    Both of which I’m not “spying” with the server hosting OKCinfo.

    Something to ponder : what will be the impact of social media fragmentation on the next US elections (and not just US) indeed, Twitter has been the backbone of US elections since at least 2008, even more since then. What’s for 2024?
