excited to start using the bridgy fed bridge and be able to follow bluesky people. feels too manual of a process to be a natural way for people to find and follow each other, would be excellent if the cross-federation was more transparent. i understand (partially) why they've done it with through this double consent method but it seems also the main reason it feels so awkward. also exciting is Wafrn (tumblr-like server) which is natively dual account type, AP and bluesky simultaneously

the thing that is always revelatory for me about the fediverse is that the fundamental thing (federation) actually just works? yes there are many many issues with the way applications integrate with each other. but doing the hello world example for the fedify library, running a tunnel so my local code is reachable over a domain and seeing the actor show up in any random fediverse server is like magic. you'd think this is the part that would take 15 years to build, not the UI on top

whats the sickest domain i can get a pixelfed account at? #pixelfed

Learning the secrets of whats actually in the activitystream payloads from @Liaizon Wakest, suddenly a lot of odd views on federated data make more sense. Equally horrifying and exciting that this is the playing field all this happens on

hey #berlin are you a cool hacker person who could help us pick a simple mailbox lock? our collective cannot get to our own mail right now because someone kindly replaced our lock but also didn't give us the key 🤣 we even have a new replacement lock to go in there! i think in the right hands this would take all of 30 seconds to do. let me know

Going to freiburg soon!!!!!!! to talk about computers!!!

Was shown this great video by @Liaizon Wakest of these font/designers @npub1sj8y...ypuw where they give a walking tour of interesting fonts in bangkok
