@slothrop@chaos.social @_elena@mastodon.social @lumiworx@mastodon.social Excellent way to put it for sure.

Centralization is easy. You control it all. It's not good for people that want innovation and choice.

Decentralization brings freedom, innovation, choice, but offers a lot of technical roadblocks.

I just want choice. I can choose what's best for my family. I don't need Tim Apple, or whoever to tell me what's good for us, while trapping us into a fish bowl and making us work for our food.

Now that I think of it. Are there any kind of fediverse connectivity between servers tools? Digging in logs at the admin level yes. But we want to exist in the Fediverse. Shouldn't we have quick check tools to make sure we're connecting out? Even users can identify issues then.

@evan@cosocial.ca

I like the new tabs.pub. Just had a thought.

A user on my Bonfire is experiencing an issue with Federation. When I've been posting from here, I see that tags.pub has been boosting my content. I like that. A bit noisey, but whatever.

HOWEVER, since I now know that my FiresideFedi user isn't federating, I wonder if you could add like a @ping@tags.pub when doing a #ping or something similar, so that we have external servers that verify our connectivity. Maybe not just a ping, but a PONG or response or something. I think this could help with understanding connectivity.

Good day all! Upcoming episode of Fireside Fedi!

@lminiero@fosstodon.org awesome! Sent you a DM! 😊

@lminiero@fosstodon.org reading through Janus docs. You built this?

I've been talking with me community and I think we're going to test this out, maybe live. If you're every interested in talking about this, let me know.

I run a podcast called fireside Fedi as well. We can do an interview of you'd like. @firesidefedi@tubefree.org if you care to check it out.

But also is you'd like to help or watch or anything.

Actually I'm also liking to run another podcast where I talk to a developer while attempting to install their application. It's called Works On My Machine LIVE.
