"…using #URIschemes isn’t a new idea and yeah, patchy browser support is a problem.
But the times they are a changin’. As Bluesky & the Fediverse build momentum, and the #decentralized path forward looks +attractive, the case for new URI schemes becomes easier.
As it should. Because the notion of the #URI is a foundational piece of the Web’s architecture, and the design of URIs has multiple protocol support baked in, and the URI schemes exist specifically to enable it."

@n0iroh being a dev interested in post-#ipfs tech, I love how you structured your https://www.iroh.computer/docs/quickstart and https://www.iroh.computer/docs/examples/gossip-chat tutorials for a gradual onramp

Also, please tell me it's really what I'm thinking, that the golden idea/thesis here is I can build basically any #decentralized app from *just the 3 protocol primitives at https://www.iroh.computer/proto:*

- iroh-gossip (i.e. "chat")
- iroh-blobs (i.e. "torrents/ipfs/wormhole/...")
- iroh-docs (i.e. "crdt"/automerge/...)

??!!!?

Is there a catch??

"We launched in Sep/2024 with a bold mission: to foster an #open, #decentralized, and #usercentric #socialweb. In just the few short months that remained in 2024, we made meaningful progress. Our participation at #W3C #TPAC and collaborations with major stakeholders like #Mastodon, #Ghost, and #Automattic have helped spark momentum for a healthier, more resilient online ecosystem.
Today we are proud to publish our 2024 #AnnualReport– the first of many."

I continue to think about decentralized networks. And I'm wondering, among other things, if we need squares or courtyards, and how good metaphors play a role in wise decisions.

Discovered the https://jami.net/ project today. Pretty cool... has a lot of overlap with #Signal, but #decentralized, which is extra cool.

@jake4480 @cuchaz (seems like a project you'd appreciate)

Does anyone thinks that using matrix.org **as a homeserver** is alright or it's just, bad?

The FUTURE is FEDERATED

Rough morning for Bluesky. Two separate outages knocked out feeds worldwide earlier today. While some self-hosted instances kept going, the main service struggled. It is back online now. #BlueskyDown #Decentralized #Tech

“Why did you choose Mastodon and not Bluesky?” This is my answer to that question. It begins with a law from the turn of the millennium that was initially described as a failure, takes a path through domain names I've owned for nearly three decades, a need to test the winds, and ultimately lands on the fact that right now, I prioritize “decentralized” over “decentralizable” as a matter of principle.

"Richard Clifford, Diretor de Soluções da Keysource, discute maneiras pelas quais o setor de data centers pode cumprir suas obrigações de Net Zero com uma série de inovações tecnológicas e estratégicas. Em particular, ele acredita que a próxima geração de edge computing, com data centers sendo construídos e integrados às comunidades locais, oferece benefícios significativos em termos de sustentabilidade, desde que todas as partes interessadas entendam a oportunidade."

Update 24 April

Big news this week is that we received more than 60 applications for the Impossible Futures (IF) challenge which is a tremendous response. The range of applications was super diverse across the three themes of Entertainment, Knowledge and Infrastructure.

Fellow #GitHub users ! I need your help!

Context: More and more people are trying out @radicle as a #decentralized #GitHub alternative.

#Radicle has a different identity system than Microsoft's, so when moving projects over to Radicle it is important to know which GH user the Radicle projects belong to.

What would be a way you would use to link your Radicle and GitHub identities?

(Radicle identity is based on #SSH keys, specifically `did:key`).

Boosts for reach - appreciated.

»Wait, how did a #decentralized service like #Bluesky go down? #Mastodon users were quick to point to the outage in order to make jokes or jabs that focused on Bluesky’s approach to #decentralization.« https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/24/wait-how-did-a-decentralized-service-like-bluesky-go-down/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

@radicle looks like an interesting Free Software to check out: it’s a peer-to-peer, local-first git forge for the decentralized Web!
