What do you think of this? I’m all ears for your thoughts :)

The idea is that every fungi-node also has a UI, yes. So you would be able to browse the AI models - for example if you chat with bot A, and the bot is currently learning with bot B and C, those bots would be visible to you and you could open their UI, too. And it should also show bots with which it trained earlier, too.

This way you could “browse” the resulting AI web via the browser.

Well, big tech has big computers, the Fediverse doesn’t, but we have many small one. That’s why its a good idea to combine them.

This has already been done for example by projects like SETI@home or FOLDING@home.

My idea is to build a web based on this idea.

There is a good video on federated, decentralized AI training here: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/seminars/wednesday/video/20241127-1500-t221089.html

One can imagine this project as a decentralized huggingface, which (spoiler alert), could also enshittify.

The idea is that we need bots like this because huggingface can enshittify

So its basically just a mastodon bot, a knowledge graph and an AI-model, who all work together.

The mastodon bot makes the functionality available to users (they can ask for song recommendations), the AI model is obviously trained and the knowledge graph is used to save the model and for collaborative communication between AI agents.

I’m not 100% sure whether it will be counter-productive or not, but maybe AI on the Fediverse could be a good thing. Like it could push the Fediverse forward (all big social networks nowadays have their own llms, ours should be federated of course). I think combining these three aspects (social web, semantic web/knowledge graphs and autonoumos agents) could be a cool thing. I have noticed how the narratives in the three departments are similar to one another (social web enthusiasts speak about walled gardens, data/knowledge enthusiasts about data silos and AI enthusiasts about big, centralized AI).

The following three resources point to how similar the approaches are:

• https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/seminars/wednesday/video/20241127-1500-t221089.html
• https://about.flipboard.com/inside-flipboard/dot-social-evan-prodromou/
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy5eKqM8-OA

But how to combine them? Maybe as a fungus?

Yeah, I know, thats a big problem of the idea. The answers would need to be really good and the querying simpler.

Well, custom posting can mean all kinds of stuff. Text altering is just one thing. You can also give commands to the “bot” through hashtags. For example, one of the bots postpones the post for a certain amount of minutes via the first hashtag.

For example: “#5 this will be send in 5 minutes”

So basically, Bluesky made custom feeds their rhing, I thought custom posts would be a nifty idea

Yeah, that’s really awesome

What aren’t they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?

Interesting! Is there a video of the event?

The article goes in a direction I like: plurality and to allow different communities to develop alongside each other is great. However, I still think we should push for establishing universal human rights. I’m not a fan of moral realitivism. I think every community should be able to get onto the Fediverse, but we don’t need to applaud every community to do so, and can also take actions against communities that do bad things (e.g. by defederating).

I would recommend “The Dawn of Everything” by David Graber and David Wengrow, which shows how humans managed to live in different forms of community already throughout history. Maybe in the Fediverse, this could become more easy on the internet, too.

My Harry Potter instance is doing okay, so yeah … Harry Potter fandom is slowly growing in the Fediverse. A thing that a year ago I thought wouldn’t be possible in the Fediverse. Seems really like there is enough room in the Fediverse to let different communities co-exists along with each other even if they don’t agree on many things

Problem: even with discovery, if your friends are on Threads or X, you still won’t find them on Mastodon. But its a step in the right direction.

I think thats unlikely. If the fediverse wants it or not, its growth is now heavily dependent on Meta

Even if it doesnt have much impact on activitypub-fedi, I think this is good news for the fediverse in general. X is loosing more and more relevancy and microblogging is more and more happening on federating services.

Could these be the factions that will also someday appear in the Fediverse?

Made an issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2137

I just called it Explore because its called that in Mastodon. Mixed is also fine.

To include Local, you could also make a slider with two slide-poitns:

Local All Subscribed

Ok but that’s about the problem of redundancy in the threadiverse. That’s a different discussion.
