One of the big conceptual questions that's unresolved in the #Fediverse is: Just what exactly is an instance for?
Yep, it's a separate installation of server software. But what exactly does instance 1 give me compared to instance 2?
Answer A: it makes no difference except on policy: who runs it, what are their TOS, moderation policy etc. The Local feed has no significance.
Answer B: Beyond that, it defines a community. The local feed is essential.
Which should it be?

Steve I think that model works great for some.
But I actually do think it a plus for others that if you were way into Jazz, you could join @jazztodon.com and be among fellow afficianodos as well as being an onramp to the Fedi.
@hosford42 @steve @tchambers @tommi fwiw there was a time that people do choosed email servers based in community. Having an email from certain university, or linux user group, or hobbies maho@jazzworld.com if like jazz) was a thing.
And people did moved from email providers because moderation, if certain provider had a better spam management people moved to that. I would say that was one of the reasons gmail won over hotmail (and storage).
Re: One of the big conceptual questions that's unresolved in the #Fediverse is: Just what exactly is an instance for?
tchambers@indieweb.social this, in a nutshell. The fediverse vid AP can support both A and B, and we can wax poetic about how one is superior to the other but both are legitimate UX decisions by their respective software stacks.
I prefer B myself, of course.
@julian @tchambers @tommi
depends on our goals. depends on the software. communities (social networking) or public conversation (social media). both?
to me, mastodon rn is about replicating original twitter. the universal civic/cultural forum. answer A.
but then why be decentralized? because centralization concentrates power which breaks the whole system.
long-term, we need most using software that does all the basics w servers based on locality. add features for local community needs.
@wjmaggos @julian @tommi
My point: there isn't just one "fediverse wide proper goal" and there need not be.
For some communities its goal is to be it's own focused cadre of folks on more or less one topic for others its more general and mixed use and not one thing, more or less a ton of general things.
And both are fine.
@tchambers @julian @tommi
but isn't a server usually either primarily publicly facing or internal? part of the public conversation or focused on serving a community? I think that's the major distinction, lining up with answer A or B. Twitter was the former while Facebook was the latter, primarily.
I think most people prefer the latter, connecting with people they know but not having a public persona. thus the usage stats. but the former now existing has serious repercussions in society.
BREAKING: #Iranian p#arliament has just voted to close the #StraitOfHormuz.
- 20% of global oil passes through the Strait
HERE’s what to expect if successful:
- Oil Prices could spike by 30–50%+ almost immediately
- Global Inflation likely Rises
- U.S. Gas Prices likely Skyrocket. Potential $5–$7/gallon range depending on duration
- Military Escalation Risk. U.S. Navy and allies likely to respond
- Tanker delays affect oil, LNG, and related goods
Thanks #Trump.

I remember back in the 80s that ABC (I think) did a sort of war games special (Nightline, maybe?) where they projected WWIII would start in the Strait of Hormuz. Scared the hell out of me back then. Scares the hell out of me now.
Thanks, Orange Lunatic.

I don't post a lot of photos here, mostly because my ADHD brain scoffs at the thought of writing alt text despite my strong belief that alt text is mandatory.
But having discovered @altbot I'm going to start sharing more photos.
And so, here's Zoe being a snugglebug.
The image shows a husky dog lying on a person's lap, with its head resting on the person's thigh. The husky has a distinctive black and white coat with a mix of gray and white fur on its back. Its eyes are a striking blue, and it has a relaxed expression. The person's leg is visible, covered by dark blue shorts with a white stripe. In the background, there is a bicycle leaning against the wall and a computer monitor on a desk. The room has a light-colored wall and a window with blinds. Another dog, possibly a black and tan husky, is lying behind the husky in the foreground. The scene appears to be indoors, likely in a living room or bedroom.

in reply to Ambiente • • •Il video inizia con un'immagine aerea di un gruppo di persone che si riuniscono su una piazza pavimentata, tenendo un grande striscione bianco. Inizialmente, il striscione è parzialmente visibile e le persone lo stanno srotolando. Il gruppo è composto da individui di diverse età e stili, alcuni dei quali indossano abiti casual. Un bambino in un vestito rosa è visibile a sinistra del gruppo. Sul lato destro dell'immagine, c'è una persona che cammina con un passeggino. Il gruppo lavora insieme per srotolare il striscione, che si rivelerà essere un messaggio politico. Il testo sullo striscione, una volta completamente srotolato, recita: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." Questo messaggio critica la ricchezza e la spesa per eventi esclusivi, sottolineando il contrasto tra la ricchezza e le imposte. La piazza è circondata da edifici storici con tetti rossi, e l'immagine è ripresa da un'angolazione elevata, offrendo una vista panoramica della piazza e del contesto urbano circostante.
