whoops, youre right, fixed and thanks!

ah thanks for the feedback! Deep Research is a new mode of ChatGPT, so when I say ChatGPT here I meant ChatGPT's Deep Research mode, and specifically the output as made used by Casey Newton's article.

I was unsure on whether I should keep calling it Deep Research or just call it ChatGPT, but good to know I should have indicated this more clearly.

:)

Well its great work on the PeerTube federation! I do think there are some meaningful ideas there, that are IMO very much worth exploring further. WriteFreely/WordPress federation also seem like an interesting direction to me

Thank you for sharing the article! Please note that this is last's weeks episode, the newest episode went out yesterday: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-70/

Small detail that I think is actually quite meaningful:

The article is written by editor-in-chief Nilay Patel. Nilay does not usually write a whole lot of articles, as he's the boss, and the articles he writes are often more commentary (like the famous 'welcome to hell' article for Elon, or his running joke on Brother printers). Within The Verge its usually more David Pierce as a true fediverse believer than Nilay.

Futhermore, earlier this week Nilay posted on Threads a response to Ghost's survey about federation: "Curious how you approach federation for paid newsletters! (Because we want to figure that out too)" https://www.threads.net/@reckless1280/post/C51n5gmvvCJ

The value is in the granular way that you can connect communities. You're totally right that there are a lot of cases where there are good reasons not to connect communities. That goes across instance borders (like you said, Beehaw and Hexbear would preferably not connect communities), but even for instances that are similar, not all communities need to be connected. In the current example of the Social Hub forum and the NodeBB development forum, only 2 communities (categories) are connected, and the rest is not.

Thanks! And yeah, last few weeks have gotten wayy busier with news, its quite noticeable to me. I'm especially excited that there is lots of news outside of the microblogging sphere as well, that part is the most interesting part of the fediverse to me

(mentions to my indieweb account are still broken for some reason, no idea why haha)

yeah its a big deal because of the spillover effort on how much easier this makes conversations with other gov officials about setting up a fedi server. I'm somewhat involved in this process at this point, and now being able to say that 'biden is on the fediverse' really impacts lobbying for the fediverse more broadly

do you mean something like vocata? https://codeberg.org/Vocata/vocata

think that would be super valuable to have for sure, but my non-dev vibes say that its probably above a one-man project, so might be hard to pull off?
