Dear businesses: If you use X as your primary social media platform, I cannot read what you post without also having an X account. Therefore, I will never see your posts. You’ve also alienated many others who might be interested in what you post.

Almost all of these enshitified, centralized platforms lock you out completely without having an account. Screw that.

The Fediverse is so good that legacy, centralized social media feels like a digital ghetto.

This portrait shows an elderly fisherman or seafarer whose weathered face tells the story of a lifetime spent battling the elements. Deep lines and rugged textures etched into his skin reflect years of experience, hardship, and resilience, while his piercing eyes convey wisdom and quiet determination. Wearing a dark coat, he stands against a moody maritime backdrop where a lone sailing vessel navigates rough waters beneath an overcast sky. The artworks rich detail and earthy tones create a powerful sense of character, capturing both the enduring spirit of the sailor and the timeless connection between humanity and the sea. THE FINE ART AMERICA LOGO WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED PRINTS OR PRODUCTS.

React-like syntax with WebComponents.

​After spending some time with Lit, I really appreciated its lightweight footprint but wasn't a fan of the class-based components. While Vue offers a great approach, I still prefer the intuitive nature of React's syntax for debugging and deterministic rendering. This led me to a challenge: could I build a UI framework using WebComponents that completely eliminates the need for transpilation?

​I have written a breakdown of the concept, the architecture, and where I want to take it. I highly invite you to take a look, check out the code, and explore the live demo.

* How it works: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/projects/dim/dim-jsx-webcomponents
* Checkout the code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim
* Storybook demo: https://dim.positive-intentions.com

​Please note, while the project is open-source, this is a personal exploration rather than an attempt to launch "yet another framework." It is not production-ready and is built for my own upcoming project migrations, but I am sharing it in hopes that the methodology is educational or interesting to the community.

​I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to discuss the implementation details.

I agree. I actually like a lot of things about Mastodon, but it's too big a player in this space, and all the various fedi server projects need to be better at interoperability.

For example, you can't reply to a #GoToSocial comment from #Pixelfed, because the #GtS user won't get any context, and won't know what you're replying to. This was a bug reported a good while back, and AFAIK there still hasn't been a fix, although they've done many other things to improve Pixelfed since then.

That's... unfortunate and unneccesary. Implicitly saying "as long as it works with #Mastodon, it's fine" isn't the way to a healthy #fediverse.

0. The first line of moderation should not be the instance admin. Each user account should be able to moderate mentions of their ID, or replies to their comments.

1. The top poster of a comment thread should be able to moderate all reply comments under that thread.

2. Instance admins should only delete posts that are clearly designed to offend, hurt, or viciously attack, bully, harass, gaslight, annoy etc. but should never delete a post simply on ideological grounds or heated but honest disagreement or debate. Telling the difference is very simple in almost all cases: tone and mindless repetition being the biggest giveaways of the respondent's intent. If it becomes an unwanted or unproductive argument the top poster should be able to quash replies.

3. Users should be able to click a button to block and entire thread regardless of who posts to it.

These things are not a major problem for me since I'm on a simple instance and I can add users to my personal blacklist via CLI. It would be nice to see this kind of stuff as standard, basic button functions in activitypub and fediverse since not everyone wants to run an instance and use CLI scripts to moderate.

So I hasn’t realised that Mastodon GmbH (mastodon.social) also runs mastodon.online.

This is troubling, to say the least.
