Samantha Ruddy @samlymatters One time when I was like 11 my dad took me to an Italian restaurant and the waiter asked what my name was and I said "Sam but you can call me captain ravioli" and my dad just looked at me and said "what the fuck was that? don't do that" and I've been chasing that high ever since.

one time when I was like 14 it was the start of the year and the teacher was taking attendance and when my name came up I said "here but you can call me the prince of darkness"

I was fully aware of how weird and cringe that was as a request but for some reason I just wanted to throw everyone off

When Joe DeMayo’s donated kidney started to fail earlier than expected, he didn’t know that the drug he was taking could’ve left him vulnerable β€” and that one of the most formidable drug regulators in the world may have failed to protect him.

My wife had a transplanted kidney and pancreas for 29 years. She has on Gengraf for decades but was switched to tacrolimus after 27 years. Her kidney failed, but it could have been something else. Covid elixirs prescribed during the pandemic, a virus, or it was just time. I wish I still had a tacrolimus bottle to see the source.

Cypripedium calceolus is a Lady's slipper orchid which happened to be flowering while we were on a recent trip to the Pyrenees and we had the privilege of seeing this rare orchid. What an absolute beauty ❀️ In Spain it is only found in Aragon and Catalonia. It is a protected orchid and guarded while in flower. #Flora #Spain #Nature #Photography #Botany #BloomScrolling #Andalucia #WildFlowers #Orchids #Rare
A picture showing Lady's slipper orchid flowers. The flower has a yellow base, shape of a shoe, 3 dark reddish leaves, one standing up straight and one on either side. One flower is in focus and the others in the background are not in focus. The flowers stand out of a green background.

Question: if not only ActivityPub, but also the other ones like dispora are part of the Fediverse, because Friendica supports the Proto and therefore drags it into the fedi, shouldn't BlueSky also be a part of the Fediverse with wafrn combining the two?

Or are the specific requirements for a Proto to become part of the Fedi, like for example being PUSH based?

The image is a diagram titled "A view into the Fediverse: Who talks to whom - and how?" It illustrates the interconnectedness of various social media platforms within the Fediverse, a decentralized network of social media services. The diagram is circular, with each platform represented by a circle connected by lines, indicating compatibility and communication between them. The platforms are categorized by their primary function, such as microblogging, video/audio streaming, publishing, imagesharing, content aggregation/discussion, and event planning/aggregation. Examples of platforms include Mastodon, PeerTube, Write Freely, PixelFed, and Diaspora. The central platform, Friendica, is highlighted in purple and is connected to several others, including Diaspora and Hubzilla. The diagram uses different colors to distinguish between categories and platforms, with blue lines connecting the platforms. The background is white, and the text is primarily in black, with some elements in green and red. The bottom of the image includes a Creative Commons license and a link to more information about the Fediverse on Wikipedia. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B
