@marnanel hey are you still working on this? :)

the concept sounds very cool, do you have a specific game in mind?

I'm very interested in making decentralised games, I've been experimenting with a platform for building semantic Multi User Domains (not using ActivityStreams): https://calum.mackervoy.com/en/2021/04/23/mud.html

@FediFollows @snikket_im @xmpp @matrix @delta @briar which of these enable end-to-end encryption by default ?

@briar does I guess being peer-to-peer, it's very cool that it uses Tor as well!

An AI created a 'new' Nirvana song and humans performed it. I think it's pretty good

@renniezen I like that instances have power of who they connect with, but there is a measurable tendency towards centralisation: https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10081553/1/arxiv.pdf

e.g. Amazon hosted only 6% of instances but 30% of users

93.66% of instances were hosted in 5 countries

I don't think that organising == being governed by someone else. A good co-operative (I think) is a means of self-governing

There's a discussion going on about whether the Fediverse should set up a governance structure to decide its future

I think that the Fediverse should be governed as a co-operative ! I don't think it makes sense to govern a decentralised network with a centralised hierarchy ?

@kawaiipunk you're a wizard 🧙 this tune put me in a trance

Anyone with a huge wad of cash who wants to invest in Multi User Domain but isn't interested in property, power or deadlines hit me up

Launched a website for the Multi User Domain project I've been working on http://multi-user-domain.github.io/

We're building on semantic web technologies to create an open-source platform for building "infinite" open text-based adventure games

Large up Linked Open Vocabularies (https://lov.linkeddata.es/dataset/lov)

It's hard to discover reusable ontologies for the first time. Having a library certainly makes it easier

Interested to hear about novel ideas helping with the uptake of reuse/reusability in ontologies

I wrote a different kind of article this month for the blog.. something more personal https://calum.mackervoy.com/en/2020/11/20/oneness.html…

un autre type d'article cet mois.. il s'appelle "Le soi n'existe pas"
https://calum.mackervoy.com/fr/2020/11/20/oneness.html…

feedback welcome as always :)
