Iceshrimp: A #csharp fediverse platform
Was just told (by @Subversivo ) about this: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp.net
#Iceshrimp are rewriting the whole thing (a JS/Node #misskey / #firefish fork) in C# with Blazor for the frontend.
Cool to see. Should handle the performance issues that have plagued the *key forks and maybe provide a new general branch of fediverse platform.
What lang/stack isn't represented on the fediverse now? C++, Kotlin?

The Fedipact statistics are interesting
7% of active users committed to #fedipact - https://fedidb.org/current-events/anti-meta-fedi-pact
-
How representative of the user base is this, or are admins gatekeeping here? A large survey would be good to clear that up.
-
EG, Mastodon, relative to its userbase, seems the most "Meta friendly" with only 57% of fedipact users (but ~80% all users)
-
Fractal of niche-dom? Fedi ~1% of social media, fedi-pact ~ 10% of fedi. So anti-meta-fediverse ~0.1%?

Fediverse! I’ve been building a bridge to Bluesky, and they’re turning on federation soon, which means my bridge will be available soon too. You’ll be able to follow people on Bluesky from here in the fediverse, and vice versa.
Bluesky is a broad network with lots of worthwhile people and conversations! I hope you’ll give it a chance. Only fully public content is bridged, not followers-only or otherwise private posts or profiles. Still, if you want to opt out, I understand. Feel free to DM me at @snarfed (different account than this one), email me, file a GitHub issue, or put #nobridge
in your profile bio.
A number of us have thought about this for a while now, we’re committed to making it work well for everyone, and we’re very open to feedback. Thanks for listening. Feel free to share broadly.

So, I think I've dug as deeply into the #hachyderm drama as I need to, and settled on some conclusions.
- Most basically, the best insights came from seeing conversations on another platform: discord.
Admins from both sides were talking. And as it's a chat platform, the engagement and conversation was clearly more direct, free, expressive and clarifying.
If the fediverse wants to be the new internet, seriously, it needs to growup and move on from just microblogging.
