The thing about Mastodon is it rose to making up the single largest constitution of the federation/fediverse in basically no time and out of (seemingly) nowhere. One would think it a minor pop culture phenomenon if they weren't careful.
The thing is, is that much like a CryptoKittie, I'm still yet to know a single person in the physical that actually uses Mastodon.

De Música y CLI

Desde mis tiempos pre Gnu/Linux, siempre tuve un reproductor de música a mi lado, y siempre mantuve una colección de música en local, en mi HDD. En esos tiempos fue el Winamp, nada que no se replicara en mi temporada dual boot (6 meses tal vez), y posterior ingreso a la era Gnu/Linux (tiempos de reproductores que no recuerdo su nombre, pasando por Amarok, Clementine, etc) hasta lo que llego con la shell, cmus y MOC (principalmente). Ya el ❤ por la CLI, estaba desbordado.

Los años pasaron y mantengo el cariño por MOC (Music on Console) como mi principal forma de reproducir música, y claro que esta por allí MPD o Mopidy (desde hace algunos años atrás) pero ya que siempre lo tenia en local y no requería mucho más, siempre eran delegados.

Pero como todo los tiempos cambios, lo mismo que los gustos y mucho más. Lo de tener música en local se vuelve ya muy obsoleto, habiendo ya populares plataformas de servicio por streaming, Situación que también me llevo a un cambio, ya que desde hace un tiempo prudente vengo usando mucho mas Mopidy como servidor de música más un reproductor CLI, como ncmpcpp. Un deleite de combinación, ya que entre ambas, me dan lo que necesito, tanto reproducción en local, como por streaming (soundcloud, spotify,etc) Debo mencionar que todo lo que es cloud services, se utiliza vía extensiones, por defecto, solo lee de forma local y radios por stream 😉

Acabo de enterarme que también soporta funkwhale.

this is a russian podcast on history of the fediverse: https://open.tube/videos/watch/db9cc76d-093c-4347-a49a-9af4246a1d92

i have to say they did a comprehensive research, or did know the history very well.
it starts with the early internet, email, then explains situation with messengers, xmpp, xml, rss, tells about aaron schwartz, and goes in to early fediverse projects, starting from identica.

in this podcast, diaspora is a tragic story. near the end of the podcast they mention the ticket to support activitypub, and that the comments were mostly not about whether it should be done, but on how it should be done. and then comes dennis schubert, critisizes the protocol and rejects the wanted proposal. then they say that diaspora is getting weaker - quantity of nodes decreases, while fediverse is getting richer - more and more people are attracted.

mastodon was mentioned as a huge success. well, it is a huge success. but they also mentioned that the project is heavy, slow, not easily deployed, has too many dependencies. most of that can also be said about diaspora. the pleroma was presented as an alternative, which is much faster, easily updated without downtime, thanks to underlying erlang ecosystem. it also supports gopher!

i did not think socialhome will be mentioned. but jason robinson was mentioned several times, as federation activist, diaspora developer, then the-federation.info author, and then they described the socialhome project in details, starting with its history. mentioned that it has very little number of nodes, and expressed the hope that it'll be developed further.

they also were talking about pixelfed, funkwhale, peertube, mobilizon, and the blog engines that support federation: write freely, plume, and that wordpress is able to federate with activitypub nodes via special plugin.

overall, very interesting, for me, listening, and a very good introduction for newcomers. thanks to creators. i am really thankful to creators, i wish the text was published, because i know many prefer to read, not listen, like me, also it would make the text searchable.
