Ok, yeah, I'm using a certiciate of my domain provider. Maybe that's the problem ... thanks! I will try to do it with letsencrypt/acme

Yeah its kind of amazing :) (Although I think the story also is kind of universal)

PS: The similarity was noted before, check this out: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/this-crazy-japanese-film-just-blew-away-twitters-tweet-record/

"Twitter revealed a new tweet-per-second record on Friday and it seems the 143,199 tweets-per-second milestone was triggered by the airing of a Japanese animated film. [...] In the film, the protagonists send the city's airborne fortress tumbling out of the sky with the magic word, "balus" which roughly translates to "destruction." [...] So strong is the pull of "Laputa" -- even apart from the Ghibli Rule--that during the last airing on Dec. 9, 2011, Twitter logged a then-record-breaking 25,088 tweets per second of fans posting "balus'' at the same time it was spoken during the movie--despite a public plea from the social-networking site to hold off."

  • Donna Tam, CNET 16/08/2013

I think Twitter always in a way tried to be the castle in the sky. Also, I think people just found it fun to mess with it.

When she woke up, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

She stumbled out of bed, went to the window and looked outside. Her heart almost stopped: it was even worse than she had expected. Chaos was unfolding all across her communities. She was seeing and feeling people running headless around the streets, panicking from the incoming influx of screaming noise that seemed to come from everywhere at once. Where the hell did it come from, she thought against the unbearable throbbing in her head that made it almost impossible to concentrate. And then, in a sudden pang of realization that almost hurt her physically, it occurred to her: the Meta Myzel. It had actually arrived.

She pushed herself away from the window and while holding her ears, rushed down the staircase to severe the connection to the Meta Myzel – or was it already too late?

Würdet ihr diese Geschichte jemandem geben, der noch nichts vom Fediverse versteht? Bin gespannt auf eure Meinungen :)

I wrote a short story about the Fediverse, called "Breath Taker" / "Lamella on My Mind", which is set in a Solarpunk world, in which, with the help of mushrooms, the so-called Fungiverse replaces traditional social media. I posted links to the short story in this community. Now I'm thinking how to continue to make this story into something that could support the Fediverse and Solarpunk. What are your thoughts? What would you be more interested in?

The idea is to have a piece of fiction that you can give a person to experience the Fediverse while also being moderately entertained in the process. So: would you give this story to a person that doesn’t know anything about the Fediverse? I would love to hear your opinions. I will try to incorporate feedback into the story but no promises!

Ok I think I'm not sure what you mean

Let's say a site like the New York Times supports ActivityPub, so you can comment e.g. from Mastodon on an article but also from the article's page on nytimes.com, where all comments are displayed.

Is this article/nytimes.com part of the Fediverse? Yes and no. It should be but if we speak about the Fediverse we mostly mean social networks like Mastodon and Lemmy.

I think the reality is and will be slightly more complicated. I think we should think of the Fediverse as being a part of the web, be it a traditional website or a social network. That's why I propose a new term: the fungal web, based on how mushrooms act as a dezentral connector over which plants communicate.

Ok, looks complicated :D But it sounds good. I will add it to my reading list. Thanks

[-] blue_berry@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

For me the protocol is the most important part. Making social interaction and networking work dezentrally in the web is a huge deal.

[-] blue_berry@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Ok thanks. I think I will take that :)

[-] blue_berry@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

Really like the town example; thinking of fediverse server as towns is cool. Although one shouldn't overdo it, because that's exactly the point of the Fungiverse/Fediverse: to connect people that are not locally at the same place.

I think adding an additional action is needed for defederation. It could of course be solved by many people concentrating on defederation, but then: what if a myzel has a leader. The members could just defederation without telling them.

I think it would be cool if leaders could be declared by them eating a certain mushroom, which grants them certain abilities like defederation. Of course, there might be myzels in which everyone can defederate. So basically the mushroom-eating-idea would allow more diverse forms of server-governance, which I think would be cool.

Interesting idea. I will probably that. The art will be to make it understandable and approachable to the reader. Maybe it will work by eating a certain mushroom and thinking about the person to block ... let's see

[-] blue_berry@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Thanks, glad you like it :) I'm also currently thinking of expanding parts 2-4 so it becomes more real and exciting.

Though sometimes I do wonder if it is easier to tell them about fungal networks rather than just explaining them how the Fediverse works technically. But for now I remain optimistic

[-] blue_berry@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

Ok, didn't know that. Can you give me some examples? I know that for example Half Build Garden has social media in it.

[-] blue_berry@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Thanks for the feedback.

I really enjoyed that! I think the first section was the strongest to me personally – it was more grounded in real events, while some of the other sections lost some of their power by becomming too abstract. I did enjoy the aspect of different interconnected characters setting up eachothers stories.

I totally get that. Thing is I wanted to depict some of the drama from the Fediverse in there and then you have to necessarily get a little abstract. I tried to include some of the drama happening here on Lemmy, however, its still not as exciting as I would hope it to be.

I went ahead and shared it in my solarpunk bookclub, hopefully some more people will give it a read through!

That's great!

Also it might be worth crossposting to a solarpunk community, it really fits the vibe :)

Will do, will do
