An avatar roaming the decentralised and federated 3-D virtual worlds based on OpenSimulator, a free and open-source server-side re-implementation of Second Life. Mostly talking about OpenSim, sometimes about other virtual worlds, occasionally about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. No, the Fediverse is not only Mastodon.<br /><br />If you're looking for real-life people posting about real-life topics, go look somewhere else. This channel is never about real life.<br /><br />Even if you see me on Mastodon, I'm not on Mastodon myself. I'm on <a href="https://hubzilla.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Hubzilla</a> which is neither a Mastodon instance nor a Mastodon fork. In fact, it's older and much more powerful than Mastodon. And it has always been connected to Mastodon for as long

    Whenever someone announces to &quot;bring&quot; something &quot;to the Fediverse&quot;, chances are that Friendica has actually had it since 2010, for five and a half years longer than Mastodon has been around. For example, just about everyone on Mastodon is fully convinced that Eugen Rochko has brought quote-posts to the Fediverse this year. That&#39;s because next to nobody on Mastodon knows that Friendica has been able to quote-post practically everything in the Fediverse, including Mastodon...

    What if I switched from describing my original images twice... ...&quot;short&quot; (still fairly long) alt-text + fully detailed long description in the post text... ...to describing them three times... ...same as above, but I&#39;d keep these two descriptions to myself, just in case, plus an actually short alt-text (512 characters or fewer for Misskey compatibility or even 200 characters or fewer) that&#39;d be the only description that I&#39;d publish right away? There would be no excessi...

    I don&#39;t want to discuss alt-texts and image descriptions to try and weasel myself out of having to write them. I want to discuss alt-texts and image descriptions to get them right myself. To improve and optimise them both for all those who need them in some way and for those who enforce them. I want to know the alt-text activists&#39; quality standards. So I can exceed them. #AltText #AltTextMeta #CWAltTextMeta #ImageDescription #ImageDescriptions #ImageDescriptionMeta #CWImageDescription...

    Work has been resumed on establishing connections between the Fediverse and the likewise decentralised metaverse, i.e. OpenSimulator. For now, the only feature that&#39;s actually implemented is sending OpenSim group messages out via ActivityPub. However, it has been tested against the opposite end of the Fediverse from Mastodon: Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte. https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/OS-AP https://opensimworld.com/post/128355 #Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #FediMeta #FediverseMe...
