I've been perusing Bubbles increasingly often since
discovering that my blog is syndicated there, a few weeks
ago.It feels really refreshing compared to doomscrolling
of social media, or indeed even to HN. It's so diverse and
humane. The indie blogosphere is coming to life.Kudos to
the author. A great idea, splendidly executed. I hope it
grows and doesn't change much.

Just glanced at the front page - it seems to be very
"blog posts about blogging" (4 out of the top 5 posts
right now). Is it always like that?The "My" tab looks
like it covers the same ground as a feed reader would.
I wonder who the audience is for that feature.
|
> > jl6
Is blogging always like that? Always has been.
|
> > > flir
From memory, there was a long tail of blogs
like that way back when, but a core of solid,
interesting content. I have an expectation
that an aggregator would bubble the
interesting stuff up, and the self-referential
stuff down. But maybe this is just content the
audience finds interesting.
|
> > > > jl6
There is still solid and interesting
content, it's just that the material is so
diverse that attention is spread thinly.
Meanwhile, blogging is the one thing
bloggers definitely have in common, so the
attention is more concentrated.It's a
failing of aggregators that they optimize
for attention concentration rather than
interestingness. But is there even such a
thing, objectively?
|
> > > > > flir
> attention concentration rather than
interestingnessWith sufficiently rich
data, I think they're equivalent.I
think collaborative filtering works
much better once you have a critical
mass of users/data - enough that taste
clusters emerge. Otherwise it just
defaults to whatever's globally
popular. Google Reader managed it
quite well. Librarything is fantastic
at it (far better than Amazon).I wrote
a simple recommendation engine for
musical taste in the early 2k's
(pre-last.fm), but it had very little
data available to it. The result? It
recommended Radiohead to everyone.
(Looking back, this was my first
exposure to The Bitter Lesson).

Hmmm... very disappointing that when I unchecked
"politics" in Filter, that post remained in the
list.
|
> > > Royce-CMR
The post (after reading it) is not political
in the today sense. It's connecting an in
vogue concept to toxic thought patterns and
notes a correlation in both the patterns and
trending association of some influencers to a
specific political segment.The point the
author is trying to cover is that a lifestyle
and aesthetic the author naturally aligns with
actually actively excludes her - and that
pattern is seen elsewhere and (author opinion)
has wider implications.I'd argue it's a fair
and not a political statement (there is some
text that indicates the preference of the
author) but a human realizing and sharing
their exclusion from a group and that the
exclusion expands into (again, author
perspective) defined categories of people.
Talking about thoughts and opinions is... what
I expect from a blog.

I haven't tried but in principle you only need a
Mastodon compatible authentication, there are other
services that are not twitter clones. See for example

I can't speak to other fediverse software but I
tried a few lemmy servers to no avail. My mastodon
instance is under maintenance so I guess I'll have
to wait until that's done to sign up.
|
> rsolva
I do NOT consider the Fediverse and the myriads of
implementations of it to be social media, but rather a
social web. More like websites with the abilities to
communicate and interact in different and interesting
ways.Social media is dead, and has been for a while.
Many use it still, but it is not primarily social. The
social part was mainly a ploy to get peoples attention
and then badly abusing it in ever more creative and
sinister ways.
|
> > rirze
To me, social web == social media.I don't use
Facebook but use it for auth when I have no other
option.Even worse, I don't want an external
service federating my identity when I can avoid
it. We have all heard of people getting locked out
in cases where Google decided to ban a user from
their platform.I'm never trusting an external
provider again.
|

Exactly! It is so empowering to host my own
instance at home and own my own identity
online, using GoToSocial.
|
> casey2
The site you are trying to make an account on is
social media, the current site you are on
(news.ycombinator.com) has more dark patterns than the
average fediverse instance.It's just a protocol
Email uses SMTP to push text from @domainA to
@domainB.
The Fediverse uses ActivityPub to push JSON-LD from
@domainA to @domainB.It's also vastly easier to
self-host than email.

Mostly because the "damn this is interesting" to

good enough to spend my time on it. These days I
am much more enjoying exploring gopher holes,

sits in between chatting and publishing content
and is therefore neither fish nor fowl.

+1 to this. Apple sign-in would be ideal, since it
maps to single-identity more cleanly than a social
media system.
|
> > > > dredmorbius
Consolidating your online activity to a
single ID is a bug.1. It enables
correlation, tracking, and stalking across
sites.2. It makes people vulnerable to
being locked out of that single-ID
provider.3. It makes people vulnerable
across multiple services to a compromise
of that single-ID provider.4. It risks
alleged abuse at any one service relying
on the single-ID provider causing problems
with other services, or the SIDP itself.
Reputation attacks, Joe Jobs, and the like
become attack vectors.5. In the specific
case of Apple, the represented population
is small enough that sites relying on it
would exclude a huge number of people, if
there were no other alternatives.I'm of an
age and from a time in which one didn't
use one's real name online, with very rare
exceptions, and in which
compartmentalising activities into
different independent services. Service
consolidation, where a small set of
ogolopolistic actors snap up previously
independent companies, and then decide to
forcibly integrate those services, is yet
another problem. One of the highest-voted
HN submissions I've been associated with
was my own report of this happening, 13
years ago, on Google+:
<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6746
731>. (The submission was by @davidgerard,
but was based on my own G+ experience.)
The original G+ content is archived here:
<https://web.archive.org/web/2012011804472
8/https://plus.goog...>. NB: the
discussion on that thread is quite
interesting.Relevance being I've been
following this practice for a long time.
Well before the G+ post mentioned as
well.The backstory on that post: not only
had Google integrated previously
independent G+ and YouTube accounts, but
it did so based on email address, often
linking real-name and pseudonymous
accounts. Several people found themselves
outed in different, and more significant
ways, including revealing personal,
social, political, or other aspects with
public and professional accounts.I'd
already preempted this to a large extent
by acting when I first heard the "Google+
is an identity network" comment by
then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt to NPR
reporter Andy Carvin in an impromptu and
unscheduled interview, in 2011. I deleted
the several-weeks-old
personally-identifying G+ account, and
employed my "dredmorbius" persona to
create a new account.See "Google+ is an
identity service, says Schmidt"
<https://www.marketplace.org/story/2011/08
/29/google-identity...> based on the G+
account by Carvin, archived here:
<https://web.archive.org/web/2011101510532
7/https://plus.goog...>.Online identifiers
serve multiple purposes. I don't mind
having a persistent identity as
"dredmorbius" or occasionally "Doc Edward
Morbius" (I've deliberately avoided using
"Dr." for some time to avoid falsely
claiming any unwarranted credentials). But
where I don't care to have that
association made, I have, or create, other
independent aliases.My general feeling is
that ID systems should be at a
minimum-viable-level basis, and largely a
separate consideration from another
often-conflated aspect, reputation.
|
> > > > > tetrisgm
Yeah, I'm sure you use multiple
different debit cards and credit cards
and bank accounts and various
identities to make sure nothing's
correlated either, right?
|
> > > > > Schiendelman
1. Not in the case of Apple, since you
get a unique key that's only usable
for your service.2. Did anyone say
something about "only" here that I
missed? I just want it
added.Everything else you wrote seems
based on a significant
misinterpretation of what I suggested.
Maybe... ask a question next time?
|
> > > > > > dredmorbius
So, question: is AppleID based on
OAuth? And yeah, I'm underinformed
on these, though I'll stand by at
least some of my concerns
applying.Amongst the problems of
adding a megacorp's identification
protocols is that those have a
strong tendency to embrace,
extend, and extinguish
(<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em
brace,_extend,_and_extinguis...>).
See what's happened to email, RCS
messaging, and for that matter,
online and social services
themselves.Again, the federated
Mastodon poses a far lesser risk
of this, though if that project
were to be compromised it could go
pear-shaped.
|
> > > > > > Schiendelman
But Mastodon doesn't solve the
stated goal by the service of why
they want you to have a login. ;)
|
> > > > > > dredmorbius
I asked a specific question, per
your request.You've ignored it.As
for the stated reasons for
utilising Mastodon as a sign-on
service, Bubbles seems to share my
views:Why Fediverse and not
email/password login?We don't want
to manage accounts. No passwords
to store, no emails to verify, no
spam accounts to moderate. The
Fediverse handles identity for us,
and no single company controls
it.It's difficult to tell what
you're hinting at so long as
you're not being explicit, but if
your concern is that Mastodon
accounts permit multiple votes per
individual, yes, that would be an
issue. However there are few
systems which afford a hard
guarantee against that (though
many might increase costs), and
there are other ways of
identifying coordinated or
fraudulent voting patterns (talk
with the HN mods about that some
time, or any
collaborative-filtering /
collective-voting based discussion
platform).

I think the links should open in the same window (like
they do here on HN) instead of in a new tab/window. If I
want a separate tab, I can Cmd+click and Browsers don't
have the reverse option for opening in the same window.

This is the type of thing I have to fight

Middle-click a link to open a new tab. I can't

can with new tabs.Sometimes it's easier to

The reason it's a debate is because both

> > fuzzfactor
Looks like a pretty good aggregation.Kind of like
a subset of what appears here but of course
concentrated on blogs not other sources of
news.Looking at other comments some people are
definitely going to prefer each link to open in
its own tab.One thing I see is because so many
blogs are no different than a dead website for
anybody using full security and privacy on their
browser.You wouldn't want your main page to turn
into a dud every time somebody clicked on one of
these dud blogs which are randomly scattered among
the good links.OTOH if you curated the blogs which
are universal good links separately from the ones
requiring the least bit of friction or compromise
to security or privacy, that would be something I
haven't seen anyone else do.And it's needed now
more than ever, plus the need's only going to
increase.

The downvotes are because the discussion isn't

It's actually about returning user choice. As
the original comment said: "If I want a
separate tab, I can Cmd+click and Browsers
don't have the reverse option for opening in

you're being downvoted because you're

through an interesting site, like HN, and then
be able to see these interesting sites after
that.I guess it depends on a persons web
workflow though

The downvoters meant to demonstrate that they
prefer the standard/expected behavior and
would like OP to ignore your opinion on the
matter.
|
> > > > kbelder
I didn't downvote, because the poster had
a reasonable opinion stated politely, but
I still really hope the OP ignores his
opinion.

The Briefings have been most useful for me. It feels more
curated and less firehose-y.https://bubbles.town/briefing

Also, showing the excerpts from the post text is
vastly superior to just showing the post titles.
|
> > viermalbe
I currently work on a feature to show excerpts
(and read time) in the list views as well. But I
will wait with the deployment until the Hacker
News visitor wave has calmed down.

> and read timeIf anything, I would recommend
a word count instead.Word count is objective.
Read time is subjective, variable, just an
estimate, and probably based on word count
anyway.

This is the best for me (pun intended). Less
overwhelming than the default front page. And more
discussion.

Would love a version of this on HN.

Any plans to add Lemmy federation? It would be nice to
be able to follow it as a Lemmy community since it
works like a federated hn/Reddit.
|
> > samtheDamned
This would be really cool. With the process of
allowing fediverse logins it would be nice to also
be able to use lemmy accounts since right now
those don't seem to work. (That might be related
to the HN hug though I'm not sure).

I'm curious: What software is driving this? Is it a
re-skin of the lobste.rs or HN open source software,
or is it its own thing?EDIT: ...just realized that's
in the FAQ.> Is it open source?> Not yet. Maybe
someday.
|
> > viermalbe
It runs on Go + sqlite on a Hetzner machine, built
from scratch, not a re-skin.

Clearly inspired by HN, there are few sites
where I have to zoom in to get any kind of
readability ;)
|

What type of Hetzner box are you running this
on?
|

frequently accused of, or why the
"disclaimer"?
|

They were directly answering the post
above which asked if it's a re-skin.
|
> > > > BrenBarn
The comment they were replying to
specifically asked if it was a re-skin.
|
> > > > > embedding-shape
Ah yes of course, finally paid the
price of reading comments in
isolation. Thanks and sorry :)
