Decentralized Twitter Utilizing Sia Coin.
I would be very surprised if such app doesn't come out of the recently announced developer program. Someone could partner with redsolver (https://github.com/redsolver/skyfeed) to give use to all the know-how he gained in the process and come up with decentralized twitter that will be actively developed.
- A modest proposal to take back reddit, and enable free speech. Aka no more bans.
- You want to be free. Decentralized twitter like platform, Skyfeed. YOU ARE ALL FUCKIN WELCOME.
- Twitter takes down Maxwell Trial Tracker….. Blatant corruption. Who gave the order? Where is the liberal media when you need them?

Decentralised social media - In Australia they just passed a law so police can access your page to add,modify or delete data without a warrant, would decentralised social media solve this?
https://skyfeed.hns.siasky.net/ is a decentralized social network by Skynet, the same people that created Siacoin that also offer decentralized cloud storage!

Sia Twitter page ?
Still pretty simple but yes there is one called Skyfeed

Sia practical apps
The easiest way to support the network is to begin using Skynet. You could use something like Filebase, Skyspace's, or MARStorage to begin transferring the data you currently store on something like Google Drive or Dropbox and store it on the Sia network. Additionally you could take a look at the current applications and begin using things like Skyfeed which all require Siacoin to be used as they all run off the Sia network via Skynet. You could also begin looking in to becoming a host for the Sia network if that is your kind of thing which would allow you to earn Siacoin for renting out your unused hard drive space. But ultimately the best way to help grow the network is to begin using it any way you can and to encourage everyone you know to do so as well. It would be worth while explaining to people you know why Skynet is important to them and how it will benefit all our lives. Once people know what the project is about there will be nothing stopping it from going mainstream.

Have you stored de-data using siacoin? how was/is the experience for you?
If you go to Siasky and upload a file, or Skyfeed and make a post you have just used Siacoin to do so. Additionally you could download the Sia-UI and rent personal storage using Siacoin yourself. However, since Skynet's inception it is no longer necessary for a person to purchase Siacoin to rent storage. You could use something like Filebase, MARStorage, or Skyspace to store your files on the Sia network without needing to worry about purchasing Siacoin. So since the end user no longer needs Siacoin to use the Sia network, it doesn't make sense for them to buy it unless they are wanting to invest in the coin. The people who are buying Siacoin with the intention of using it are mostly hosts and portal operators.

Thankful for decentralization!
Everything I possibly can! But what this post is about is the Sia host I am running which provides storage space to the network. I also use the Sia network via Skynet to store my files, send files and even some social media (Skyfeed. Eventually I'll be using Sia and Skynet for everything I do once the appropriate skapps are made.

Alt Text box can't fit one screenshot of text
Interestingly there is some discussion for Mastodon with people asking the limit to be smaller, which raises the question as to the purpose of alt text, and how to properly handle larger text lengths in screen reader programs.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884
The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.
If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.
The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.
HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.
Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.
Suggestions?

Unity's Open-Source Double Standard: The Ban of VLC
>You can defeat the Affero clause by putting the software behind a proxy, for example
Could someone elaborate on this? This is NOT my understanding of the license, and it seems absurd considering e.g. Mastodon is AGPL but the standard install requires a reverse proxy[1]. If using a proxy defeats Affero, why would the Mastodon team do this? Are they stupid?

Welcome to the public domain, Steamboat Willie
Didn't say anything about freedom of speech. And again: I'm not the one to talk to. I don't have any strong feelings on the topic, but if you do, you should take it somewhere that people who can do something about it will see.
I tried to find an existing discussion to help get you started, but couldn't. You can start one here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues
It's easy to sit here on Hacker News and say "they should just..."
Coming up with a standard for an international project will be a long, noisy discussion. You'll tread on internecine conflicts you had no idea about. Old wounds from past related discussions will come out. People will soapbox.
This is why I have no interest in discussing it. It probably won't go anywhere in a place where it actually could. It definitely won't here.
