[[fediverse]] question: what does the community think?

RT @peterkaminski
@flancian @jerrymichalski @metasj @mathewlowry @ChrisAldrich @flancian, i know it's cliché, but I can't decide if I should center on
@peterkaminski@mastodon.social (impersonal, but stable ~forever) or
@peterkaminski@toolsforthought.rocks (friends & community) or
a handle on my own domain (self-responsibility, like I have with email).

I would say keep the handle for friends and community and interact with everyone from there.
Less noise from the federated timeline & some persons mute/block big servers.

I believe the trend into the future will be handle your own domain. For now, it seems that the fediverse (at least Mastodon's developers) support(s) the idea of having instances reflect intent, whereby a single person can have more than one community. I don't know how in practice this is managed in a seamless fashion from the blogger's standpoint.
@tkenben @peterkaminski@mastodon.social @peterkaminski@toolsforthought.rocks interesting, thanks! IIUC that would be close to the [[indieweb]] approach, of which @chrisaldrich is an expert :)
My currently position is that 1. that would in many ways be ideal, trending to a distributed system (instead of "just" decentralized) but 2. parts of DNS needs to become way more democratic (which in practice might mean: it must work without money involved) for that to have a good chance to work.
@tkenben @peterkaminski@mastodon.social @peterkaminski@toolsforthought.rocks @chrisaldrich in the meantime there's advantages to community maintained instances, even if the communities are small, as maintaining an instance is not yet trivial; and, the larger they are, the more local network effects probably kick in.

My sentiments exactly. This DNS thing, and internetworking in general, is like this looming dark cloud of anxiety for me. This is why I have super high hopes for https://gnunet.org They have a long ways to go, but I do mean to fire up a node myself even though it is still very much in development and there is no one to play with.
