ChatGPT mostly reflects what's already out there, the internet, Reddit, different communities.
Which means chatting with it is a bit like chatting with what the world currently thinks, bias and vice, trolls included, but also real discussions.

So, I asked it about the Fediverse. I would say that it sounds not too "wrong".

What's your take?

This is the convo:

EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!

Even non-EU citizens have a voice here.

NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference:

The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out:

  • a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
  • a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy.

Mastodon/Fediverse:

How long does it “typically” take for a server to refresh something like a link preview? I changed the featured image on my website, but it’s been days and it still comes up as my old one on here. Is any aspect of that due to my local cache, or is it all server side? Speak to me the way you would a fourth grader.

The preview should be a dark graphic with my name, not a portrait of me.

"Threads, however, supports ActivityPub. Users on Threads can choose to share their posts with other Activity Pub servers, including Mastodon." – Well, only if the instance and/or end user decides so.

Surprised the article doesn't mention the absence of algorithm and advertising in the Fediverse. Imho it's a good selling point.

week 1, phase 3.
Decision is almost made, considering a site based on hybrid solutions:
Newsletter -> buttondown
stories -> writefreely
interactions/comments -> lemmy (where stories from writefreely will spread to fediverse) and at this point I find less useful to federate Writefreely, given that this platform has no comments. Makes sense a "reply via e-mail" pointing to LetterBird page I have, and "follow [category/community] on Lemmy to comment via Fediverse.
What's missing? A stable navigation menu, and an internal search engine. Found a way to place a landing for the site, through writefreely's admin settings.
My main (no longer so hidden) intention is get rid of WordPress, despite self-hosted its philosophy is drastically changing.
And I even have Bearblog which solves some of the issues for nav menu and maybe search bar, but it's a centralized platform depending on one person only. Of course accessibility is the …

"Critical concept: IRIs are opaque identifiers. You cannot infer meaning from the string pattern — only by dereferencing and inspecting the data." [1] This applies to URIs too. Sadly, almost no implementations use this principle. Multi-tenant servers and simple account portability (with personal domains) would be relatively easy if they did.🙄 It is what it is...
