If I own a community that’s related to a piece of software, service, or other community and someone who actually contributes to that wants it, message me and it’s yours. I stake no claim in communities, I simply want to see them exist and thrive.

  • Bibliotik is better but harder to get into. Anna’s Archive is about as hard to get into as MAM, while having much better coverage of content. MAM also has terrible management of uploads with tons of unnecessary loose collections of books.

    I’m not marking them down “for being nice”. I’m marking them down for being an uncomfortable place that wants to be safe for children for some reason.

    i have a layman’s understanding of AT Proto, but it seems to compartmentalize between different parts of the service. Front ends, databases, and backends can be hosted separately and amalgamate into one, in the abstract.

    Practically, however, AT Proto allows account portability, wherein users can swap what instance they use as a frontend on a whim, even if their home instance is down. Usernames are domains instance of username@domain, that are verified by the DNS. But AT Proto seems a lot less flexible than ActivityPub. We’ll have to see when federation is live, but I’m not sure it really suits anything beyond (micro)blogging.
