Yup

Thanks. It was due to me using a wrong port. Its working now.

Sorry for the inconvinience

Yes, also occures without the header. But I think I know the problem now: I tried to use the certificate of my host provider, which seems not to work for federation

Ok, yeah, I’m using a certiciate of my domain provider. Maybe that’s the problem … thanks! I will try to do it with letsencrypt/acme

Or do you know a similar post maybe?

Yeah its kind of amazing :) (Although I think the story also is kind of universal)

PS: The similarity was noted before, check this out: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/this-crazy-japanese-film-just-blew-away-twitters-tweet-record/

"Twitter revealed a new tweet-per-second record on Friday and it seems the 143,199 tweets-per-second milestone was triggered by the airing of a Japanese animated film. […] In the film, the protagonists send the city’s airborne fortress tumbling out of the sky with the magic word, “balus” which roughly translates to “destruction.” […] So strong is the pull of “Laputa” – even apart from the Ghibli Rule–that during the last airing on Dec. 9, 2011, Twitter logged a then-record-breaking 25,088 tweets per second of fans posting “balus’’ at the same time it was spoken during the movie–despite a public plea from the social-networking site to hold off.”

I think Twitter always in a way tried to be the castle in the sky. Also, I think people just found it fun to mess with it.

Ok, you’re starting to convince me. I still think some of his works are great solar punk even though maybe he didn’t intented them to be …

never watched it sry

Ok, that’s a little let-down. Although I don’t think its that he is completely against tech, maybe his views changed over time since many of his movies feature technical advantages and not always in a bad way, for example the moving castle …

That would still have been an interesting way to explore these questions. Royalty does not exist in a vacuum, it is a product of many principles that Sheeta and Pazy would not be fan of (not even Muska I bet).

That’s true. Could certainly be interesting, I mean, they build the whole thing and probably spend a few generations there.

But thing is, Miyazaki is very anti-tech. He did not want Laputa to be a dream followed by solarpunk, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale about the fall of technological societies. It prefered to focus on the destructive powers rather than on the post-labor utopias that the Laputa robots could have brought.

I would call his relationship with tech ambivalent, because the tech of Laputa is primarily positive and exists in harmony with nature. It just falls into the wrong hands.

Interesting. Although I think at some point there will always be a Muska. Exclusivity and aristocracy doesn’t usually led to good things …

Ja stimmt, Novelle trifft es eher. Die einzelnen Teile sind aber einigermaßen abgeschlossen. Man kann es also in Häppchen lesen.

Hab noch nicht für mehr als den Anfang Zeit gehabt, der klingt interessant.

Danke :)

Which podcast would you recommend for beginners?

I used to hunt mushrooms with my grandparents as a kid. Got some good memories there. I’m also watched one or the other fungi docu on Netflix. Fascinating stuff.

I can dig up some good podcasts. If you search your favorite podcast service for queer mycology you can learn some interesting things about fungi in a couple of hours :)

Ha ha. It’s such a niche topic but I’m increasingly fascinated by it. Will definitely check out such a podcast :)

Wow. Mycology what a awesome name! :D

I would suggest a series of short stories if you like the setting and are enjoying writing it.

I was thinking about that too. Could be cool to experiment with different characters, factions, etc.

I think something more relatable might get the solar punk message across. I only dipped into the short story you posted and it felt more fantasy than near future sci-fi.

Its just that with the mention of actual federated social media, many people seem to immediatly recoil. And then if you introduce some metaphor for the Fediverse like the Fungiverse, then you also have to incorporate it in a world that really embraces the concept.

And tbh, I opened it more because I’m a mushroom and sci-fi/fantasy nerd and saw your post in the sci-fi sub.

Ah, I see. Maybe I do need to edit the story again so it fits more the primary genre … let’s see. Thanks for the feedback ;)

1. Why universe? It has nothing to do with virtual reality and it sounds very sealed. But what we currently see with the introduction to ActivityPub to Wordpress for example is that it actually becomes a part of the Web. Its more similar to the web than it is to virtual universes.

2. The concept “federated” only makes sense in the current context. We have centralized social networks. They are bad. We want something else and think federation could do it. But it would be nice to have a metaphor that somehow stands on its own legs without relying on the old system. And the main thing that ActivityPub brings us is that the web becomes a social place.

That’s why I find “social web” better. It’s more future-oriented and less defensive.

I’m not a fan of fungi, I just think its a good metaphor for what ActivityPub does.

But I see your point: fediverse makes sense in the context, however:

1. The context in which the Fediverse was created is one that should be overcome. We don’t want walled gardens, in a world without them, the term Fediverse doesn’t make sense anymore. I think what we need to achieve as a society is a true implementation of the “social web”. And federation is not a main thing here, it’s just a by-product that could make it work.
2. I still think it would be great to have a handy metaphor that basically explains itself and that makes sense without having to explain centralized social networks first

For me it runs down to this: how do you explain the Fediverse to someone when walled gardens don’t exist anymore? Its a term created with respect to the old times. I think its contraproductive. The term “social web” is much better imo.

Why an alternative term?

I find the term fediverse irritating and I’m currently writing a short story about the Fediverse.

If you want something that carries more meaning then those proposed terms are maybe not the best as a mycelium network does not represent very well what the fediverse does.

For me, ActivityPub does for the web about the same thing that fungi do in the forest: they allow communication about the content in the web without a central entity.

If you want some more practical comparison then maybe a network of scribes in monastery libraries that copy texts and exchange them via a postal network?

But they aren’t sharing only text. Also: the monk doesn’t exist. The communication works dezentralized through a protocol.
