social networking on the internet

source: how to make friends on the internet

  • 90% of meeting people is reaching out. you must actively initiate conversations
  • hang out in places where these other people are hanging out and do so frequently
  • any platform with private messages allows you to make friends
  • contact someone anytime you like something.

using twitter

  • respond to tweets on regular basis
  • network with people they know and respond to their tweets as well
  • ask local mutuals if they want to hang out
  • having video calls could be almost as good as meeting in person?
  • be someone people want to follow.
    • 1x per day
    • super low signal ot noise ratio
    • do not focus on retweeting
  • create opportunities for discovery
    • talk to people. read their mentions. consistently bring value with replies
    • this happens even with people with large followings

writing

  • "networking for introverts"; "a serindipity vehicle"
  • start blogging now and keep blogging. it's the best way to interact with others

meeting people

networking for nerds

  • create a mental model of yourself to become easy for anyone to meet
  • if you have this projection, if you know how to market yourself, you know how to best network with others
  • fuzzy projections are okay but they're harder to pinpoint.
  • form this projection (about three pieces of information you'd like someone else to hold about you) - and market towards it.
  • tell stories – strong stories. narrow down your own story and use it in conversations with others. tell it on social media. repeat it at length.
  • know your ask: the most impactful thing they can do to help you. this can be a local or a global goal; how can you best help other people? this makes it easiest for them to help you, gives them an action to reach back to you about, and keeps them from having to ask lots of clarifying questions. reduce the friction between you and them in terms of getting things done as soon as possible.
  • pre meeting motions: scheduling, give as much information as possible, and be specific and accurate. refer back to the article all the time. do background information all of the time.

concrete examples

  • write: invite people to write you.
  • reach out when you see someone you think it woul be interesting to meet
  • ask people for intros and suggestions for people you should meet. do you know anyone i should meet and can you introduce me to them? do this asap. if you know a mutual, ask them for an introduction!
  • browse reddit, twitter, etc. frequently with the intention of polling for these values.
  • a big step is attending those research meetings i can be a part of
  • traveling anywhere in the us is cheap. do not be afraid to travel to network by any means.

It is your responsibility to follow up

https://guzey.com/follow-up/

  • follow up at max three times. follow up on a regular schedule. don't assume they will respond and keep the email around to remind others.

Ideas not mattering is silly

  • ideas may be cheap but there is never a guarantee of this. defeat your ideas. if they are not defeated, pursue them.
  • good ideas are so obvious in retrospect, and they are only obvious in the moment if they do not have holes
  • zero sum concepts are not worth it. ideas not mattering is just a marketing technique to assemble corporations

I've been trying out something new this week: I'm running "Datasette Office Hours" where people can book a 20 minute Zoom call on a Friday to to talk to me about the project.
Today was the first day for calls, and it was fantastic. I spoke to five different people and got to see some wonderful applications of the tool - from analyzing hardware test results to exploring cemetery interment records.
If you're running an open source project and want to talk to people using your software this approach seems to work really well. I'm using Calendly for it: https://calendly.com/swillison/datasette-office-hours

Knowledge

A good explanation of how the protocol works.

Research

  1. host local servers, one tracking each service
  2. connect to these servers with a locally hosted mastodon client
  3. each server takes account information and mocks external accounts:
    • logs in through social media api
    • view posts, corresponding threads/comments sections
    • server publishes data form these services in real time to mastodon
    • server creates/tracks fake mastodon user from every other user
    • these users are visible with clever naming scheme and tolerated by server
    • interacting with these real servers from ur acct (must be hosted in same place) == ur account on that social media interacting with their real acct
    • likes, follows etc. also emulated – though have to check if current user is following them, has liked, has followed etc.
    • should port over images, videos, gifs etc from whatever proprietary twitter thing they use to sane default formats to display on mastodon (i guess these should be cached for some time period, then…)

Federated social media is the future.

  • run on home server, always-on computer kind of deal ie beaglebone
  • NAT TOR? Zooko's triangle – choosing between human readable, decentralized and unique is impossible. PetNames proposal may be useful
  • key upgrade, but all that is needed is tor .onion address support, truly

📓 garden/moa-party/_notes/activitypub.md by @moa-party

The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [[ActivityStreams]] 2.0 data format. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and content.

It is a [[W3C]] standard as of January 2018 https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/, published by the [[W3C Social Web Working Group]].

The Fediverse SocialHub Discourse forum is where many different ActivityPub-compatible systems come together.

From the forum, How to become an ActivityPub user

From the forum, Introduction to ActivityPub

ActivityPub supports common social network activities like following, liking, announcing, adding, and blocking. For example, if you have an account on a [[Mastodon]] instance like mastodon.social, you can follow someone on a [[WriteFreely]] instance like Qua and receive updates whenever they have a new blog post.

Christopher Lemmer Webber, co-author of the ActivityPub standard:

Increasingly, much of our lives is mediated through social networks, and so network freedom in these spaces – and thus removing central control over them – is critical. One thing you may have noticed in the last decade is that many decentralized free software social networking applications have been written. Sadly, most of those applications can’t actually speak to each other – a fractured federation. I hope that with ActivityPub, we’ve improved that situation.

ActivityPub

Criticisms

My big issues with ActivityPub is that the protocol is very big and not very easy to decompose.

– indieweb chat

Unfortunately, we have come to realize that using ActivityPub is considerably harder than we expected:

  • Using JSON-LD as an RDF serialization is very complicated. It requires the usage of algorithms (e.g. the Expansion Algorithm or the Framing Algorithm) that are incomprehensible and just pure madness. JSON-LD maybe was really just not intended to be an RDF serialization and trying to use it as such is painful.

  • There are practically no implementations of the ActivityPub Client-to-Server protocol (C2S). This made developing and testing the client and server more time-consuming as we had to develop the protocol in lockstep on client and server. At the end we were still only compatible with our own software.

  • ActivityPub is not a complete specification and many additional protocols need to be implemented (e.g. WebFinger) in specific ways in order to be compatible with existing servers.

📓 garden/melanocarpa/fediverse.myco by @melanocarpa

Fediverse is a decentralized social network, consisting of numerous instances running different software, all compatible with each other to some degree.

Some software are more compatible with each other: Mastodon and Pleroma both implement a similar model, id est microblogging, thus they federate nicely. Some are more different.

Currently, Fediverse is the go-to social network in these layers of the infosphere.
