What do you get if you combine #Myspace & #Bluesky? It's ##SkySpace! https://skyspace.me/?youronly.one Now can someone combine #Friendster & Bluesky next? Or, maybe, #Plurk & Bluesky?

Aww man. By the time #MySpace came around, I already had social network fatigue. #Sixdegrees, #Uboot, #FriendsReunited, High 5 (?) and my old sixth form friend pressuring me to sign up to #Friendster so I could connect with her uni mates (????)... after that I was done with social network sites and didn't care when MySpace came around. I probably would have liked it though, and had the most garish profile page.

I know it’s not the same thing, but @Fedicate’s idea of positive “endorsements” has stirred memories of Friendster testimonials

I did not “get” Friendster, but I used the hell of out it

Ha ha, social network, what a joke

But looking back, those Friendster testimonials I got were some of the most sincere, genuine, loving tributes I’ve ever received

Where does that happen now?

Here’s to projects promoting positivity 🥂

#Mastodon #Fediverse #Databases #Friendster

Learning for the first time tonite about #Friendica - it originally sounded like a misremembering of #Friendster, the 2003 #SocialMedia precursor to #Myspace, which, as an #InternetElder, forms part of my long lived experience online. Having been so happy with my #Mastodon & now my #Bluesky experience, it's cool to see the #Fediverse also has an option for both (AND #Tumblr & #WordPress) to be supported within Friendica. I'm not scared of the install either, so this might be a fun option for me.

#Mastodon = #Usenet , #Bluesky = #Friendster

There are, I think, only two ways to get the #Filipino all over the world to use less—if not leave—Facebook and Twitter:

1. We need a @plurkofficial UI and UX; and
2. A #Friendster like UI and UX (original Friendster) …

… for the #Fediverse and/or #ATmosphere ( #Bluesky ) networks.

With optional features like:
* Pages
* Videos and Shorts
* Games
* DM/PM
* Neat image gallery

I think #Streams #Hubzilla and/or #Friendica fit for those options. We'll just need it to have a UI and UX similar to the original Friendster. A highly customizable profile and allowing HTML use not only in profiles but in comments as well.

For Plurk-like, we just need Plurk itself to federate, seriously. @plurkofficial yuhoo, time to federate!

Once up and running, we can get traditional media and social media writers to report on it, so Filipinos everywhere will be aware.

Then again, the #Philippines media generally ignored and is ignoring the Fediverse, Mastodon, and Bluesky, it's why very few Filipinos are aware of it. And telcos only provide free and/or discounted access to Meta products, Twitter, and Viber.

Though, I think it still is possible even without local telco support.

What do you think? What can get Filipinos to use Facebook and Twitter less, and more Fediverse and/or ATmosphere?

#Friendster

Anybody want to join a "new" SM site? A guy bought the domain and set up a pretty tight website, though he wants to keep all the "nasty" stuff out of it, like what's posted on FB and Twitter and Redit and all the rest of the SM sites. Also no moderation policies or tools... yet. As of rn there are only a few hundred People on it. The dev has given us 50 invites to hand out.

tik tok is not going away

if OG social media site #friendster is still up - for sure tik tok is not going away https://friendster.click/

like every other single social media platform tik tok is prolly gonna go thru some changes

Wait a fucking minute. #Friendster is coming back??

https://friendster.com/

For all of my #Filipino fans (fans?!), #Friendster is making a comeback. ^_^

Currently, by invite only, but you can sign up for the waitlist. I wonder if it's powered by the #webstandard #ActivityPub protocol (a.k.a. #Fediverse network). Hmm…

@BruceMirken @CStamp Sounds like #Friendster, #MySpace, and a bit like Facebook.

I am I-Remember-Friendster years old. #old #friendster

@m_artigiani Personally, it's not that it's being explained poorly, rather, people are too used to siloed / closed-garden #SNS that they find it hard to get their heads around it.

For example, in the #messenger / #InstantMessenger space, we've had #federation since the late 90s, thanks to #XMPP (formerly known as #Jabber). We didn't encounter this issue, people simply understood it like how people understood email.

Then later, there's #Matrix, which is also a federation. But I haven't heard anyone ask or got confused how it works.

In a way, I would say #Trillian, #PsiIM, #Gajim, and the interoperability of #ICQ and #AIM played a role there.

However, when it comes to SNS, majority of people were never exposed to interoperable SNS. Since #Friendster #MySpace #Hi5 came out, there never was a federated SNS until 2008 when the #Fediverse was born (then called #Identiverse).

The #ATproto / #BlueSky federation is coming in 2024, so we'll see if they'll encounter the same challenges in explaining instances. If they do, or do not (as the BlueSky team are saying they won't have that issue), then we'll know better since we'll have a comparison by then.

For me, I think we've done everything that we can to explain it.

@alex @460c25e682fda7832b52d1f22d3d22b3176d972f60dcdc3212ed8c92ef85065c Let me make copy&paste:

67 #Primal
21 #Snort
16 #Coracle
13 #Iris
8 #Satellite
2 #noStrudel
2 #Plebstr
1 #Agora
1 #Nostribe
1 #Flycat
1 #Friendster
1 #Nostter

My #SNS #history:

* #Friendster and #MySpace were my first.
* Then #Facebook.
* Later #Twitter.
* Followed by the #Fediverse through #Identica (software: #Laconica).
* Next was #Plurk, 15 years ago today, and I'm still using it.

It's crazy to realise it has been that long already.

@rodhilton it's not everyday you can witness, in real time, $44 billion dollars, burning into a pile of ashes. I say we savor this historic moment, for geocities, friendster and myspace are beckoning...

“Mark my words boy, Mark them well, I have survived (the end of #geocities, #myspace, #friendster) and I will survive (the end of #twitter).”
