@julian The easiest is to use "post via e-mail feature" in self-hosted WordPress. But who knows if it then becomes a draft... I have just the idea and I'm sharing it as such, because I fear it could cause a mess of spam.
The basic idea is, "reply via e-mail to this post", and all replies go to Fediverse as blog comments. In that case, "post by email" won't work

@solarbranka yes, great idea!

Since they have $100M in the bank, 3 is probably a way off. AFACT, they are currently doing both 1 and 2 in parallel; if you look at their protocol engineers, I do believe they are really all in on 1, but much of the rest of the company is taking every opportunity to act in a decentralized manner and going in the opposite direction.

@ricci @hamishcampbell @_elena well, they had $100M when they raised money last year.

Crypto funds love to rollover crypto assets. So maybe some of it was in crypto, like Bitcoin, which has since dropped 25% against USD.

And they've been operating a tech startup with 20-30 staff and dozens of contractors, plus hosting costs which are somewhere in the $20-50M/year range, I'd bet.

If I had to guess on runway for BlueSky today, I'd say 12-24 months.

I really hope he’s alright. Bob’s Burgers is one of those rare things we still have that’s truly great in a world that seems to be falling apart.

Because Lemmy often needs things drawn in crayon.

Wow that is just brilliant. I love how the SFO *airport museum* staff just went off and figured out how to track items (and planes visiting the airport!) and everything in a low-cost scalable way that totally plugs into the Fediverse. Neat! :fediverse:

@mastodonmigration @hamishcampbell @_elena I won't argue with this. Having two incompatible stacks hurts the entire ecosystem. When developers and decisionmakers see that, it makes them want to sit back and wait to see what comes out on top.

I think our best mitigation for that right now is reassurance that investing time, energy and money into ActivityPub will not be a waste.

@evan @hamishcampbell @_elena

💯 Slow and steady wins the race. It is just frustrating that people are so easily distracted by bright shiny objects.

@solarbranka that's surprising; I don't think that should be possible. I'll test it more thoroughly and let you know.

Huh, didn’t know they made that claim. That was pretty stupid. Sounds impressive but now they have to defend it and by doing so invalidate their claim to copyrights.

Someone should track the own goals by these my butt companies. I want to know the score.

I knew of this claim but I didn’t believe it until I’ve seen parts of this code. It’s either written by a 13 year old script kiddie or LLM, probably both.

@hamishcampbell @_elena the good part is that this is what we should do in the best case scenario, too. So, all worthwhile.

@hamishcampbell @_elena one other thing: bridging is really important for us all right now. It's how we can tell developers to implement ActivityPub and still get access to the BlueSky audience. I hope everyone works to support BridgyFed.

@hamishcampbell @_elena

So, I think there are two important things people in the Fediverse movement can do to help with these possible outcomes.

@hamishcampbell @_elena

The first is to keep building on ActivityPub. I love our protocol and our ecosystem, and I think it's a wonderful network. But it's also a necessary hedge against clawback or collapse.
