In short, open source APIs for everything.

  1. Open up Facebook Messenger to Matrix, allowing interoperability with all Matrix clients
  2. Open up Facebook/Instagram to ActivityPub, allowing for third party clients
  3. Remove account gates for public Facebook/Instagram pages
  4. RSS feeds for public Facebook/Instagram pages

That's also my favorite name

Sad! I hope some rich person buys it, reopens it, and changes the logo back to the good (pre-2021) version.

Now do a version with the Grandpa Family Guy Death Pose mod

I’ve said this elsewhere, but I don’t really agree with the article’s premise about what happened to XMPP.

XMPP was a niche thing before Google appeared, and it remained a niche thing after Google left. That said, it would have been much better had Google continued to support it!

Not yet, but they’ve said it will be. Personally I’m excited to see “mainstream” social media using ActivityPub, but you’ll find that it’s quite a divisive issue.

Definitely the Pensieve scenes from Half Blood Prince!

You’re correct, it is an iOS feature for native apps!

Since Voyager is a webapp though, it has to reimplement a lot of stuff to “feel” native.

Disagree — while the larger communities tended to get kind of lame, Reddit’s smaller communities were quite worthwhile. I want that to continue, just not on Reddit.

I definitely recommend Dracula — not only is it good, but it’s also the prototype for basically every subsequent vampire book/movie:

This is a great idea, Voyager’s mobile experience is super polished.

Long shot, but would it be possible to get Mlmym installed at old.lemmy.world? Would be a fun throwback!

Not sure if you mean "engineers in general" or "engineers who specifically work on Lemmy.world", but assuming it's the former, I'm working on building a self-generating webcomic.

It's always been my dream to create a website that can completely self-populate with pointless content, and soon my dream shall be a reality.
