@maegul @joeldebruijn clients would also have an option to send new blog entries to your own server. this would allow for a seamless UI not too different from Mastodon clients, but simpler and less cluttered of course.
everything properly defined in a protocol as simple as possible so there can be as many implementations of clients and servers as there are RSS readers.
@maegul @joeldebruijn I think you have something there. a simple protocol, something like the blogosphere with RSS but with some additions:
- a properly defined markup language that can be read by clients, not the HTML5 monstrosity.
- it would work like RSS in the client fetching new entries from servers, but extend it so it can submit comments directly from the client.
- make something like WordPress, but orders of magnitude smaller, that can make hosting your own blog or server a breeze.
- ideally some other software like WriteFreely where multiple less technically inclined people can sign up and have their social blog without any setup required. this would be hosted by volunteers, like mastodon instances.
I’m not sure if something like this would work, but wanted to share it.
@gabboman sí, había leído que Lemmy hace las cosas raras.
Bueno si federa bien con Mastodon ya es un buen avance.
Mucho mejor tener wafrn que Tumblr empiece a federar. No me creo que la misma empresa que intentó centralizar los blogs hace no tantos años ahora quiera federar por el bien de internet.
@gabboman muy interesante, nunca he usado tumblr pero creo que es algo que faltaba por aquí.
Espero que la federación con mastodon sea mejor que la de lemmy.
@maegul @joeldebruijn yeah servers of this protocol should be much simpler than mastodon. just exposing a file per blog, with all the posts entries that clients can fetch. no cross-server communications like AP, just clients requesting the feed file to servers.
have some simple authentication to let clients comment on entries of the feed, thus adding them. it would need to have some moderation system for that, tho.
and another authentication for the blog owners to push new blog entries and add them to the top of the feed.
although for the federated identities for comments to work, it would probably need some kind of public key system to verify identities, idk.
