This could be awesome in bringing lots of users. In the fediverse we trust them (unlike threads)

Now we need an activitypub linkedin

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

Please, no.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (5 children)

For what it's worth, I don't understand why anyone needs any linkedin.

Which part of LinkedIn? The social media part? The CV part? The job board part? E-learning?

What would the federated, non-social media parts even look like?

Linkedin getting a social media part is really the proof that enshittyfication is fucking everywhere.

Don't let your dreams be dreams! I know theres a lot of people have stated they are interested. I'm personally not sure what things you would like displayed to others with activityhub specifically.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Unlike Threads, I kind of even don't mind

Tumblr is generally cute, and while we should be on the watch still, I think it could enrich the Fediverse community.

Did they bring back the porn? I thought it was banned.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (7 children)

It's banned but there's still a lot of porn on there, lol.

They brought back tasteful nudity, mostly.

How does that person think ATProto would prevent monopolization? ATProto is effectively controlled by a singular corporate entity. It already is a monopolized protocol.

Bluesky says they created ATProto because account portability is a problem on ActivityPub - which it 100% is. But account porting is something that's still being worked on for ActivityPub. If Bluesky actually cared about a decentralized platform, they would have contributed toward ActivityPub's development by helping to create the account porting tools. Instead, they created a new network that they own and control, and have gaslit their users into believing is "decentralized".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

You and I know this, but the user who asked probably doesn't know any of that. They just know that BlueSky is the popular new thing, and it claims to be federated, so why not use the more popular thing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The support response to that question hilariously dodges any mention of AT Proto and just cheers for ActivityPub.

"Mom, can we have Blooski?"

"We have Blooski at home."

Just a mention that streams (prev hubzilla) already implemented nomadic identity which solves the problem of account portability

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Some platforms have decentralized login wihich is fascinating as a software developer. Works with activityhub too. I think it was one of the gnu projects? I'm not in a good position to do a good search right now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

There's also other protocols already made, like the one used in Hubzilla which can hande account porting well

I’m surprised it has taken them so long to switch to Wordpress given that they are owned by the same company

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They couldn't log in because of the WP Engine checkbox

I didn't realize they were switching over to WordPress to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nobody should be switching TO Wordpress in 2025… or 2023 or 2020 even. But definitely not 2025.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tumblr ha no choice, WordPress bought it years ago

matt's an ass and all, but the service on the .com does have a decent track record afaik.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (5 children)

No longer after the drama of the last few months. Stay as far away from WordPress as is humanly possible.
