@huppakee @SystemOfAnUp This is interesting as you point out one of the reasons that people use Credit Card Payment networks is the consumer protection that comes from credit contract legislation. That has a cost ( It costs the banks to provide the protection) which os recovered through the payment processing charges paid for by the merchant and I guess also offset by interest charges earned from the card user. But what if the card issuer could offer that protection independlty of the payment network and/or recover the cost some other way (either from the merchant or the card user)

@leraje Yeah I mean ideally it would be open source and self hostable - But lets not get into #PuritySpirals - Lets let a thousand flowers bloom.

@leraje So the interesting thing straight away is that Fedica seems to allow me to register my Friendica server using the ‘Mastodon’ channel - I didn’t have so much luck with Buffer

@DarkSpectrum Ah sorry man. Hope it doesn’t look too bad - Its a while since I used Lemmy directly. Dangers of the fediverse eh?

@leraje Thanks - Didn’t know about Fedica. I’ll have to add it to the list of supported services (I really need to start a new website) - The freeplan acutally looks quite good.

@LegoBrickOnFire Well if you are using Buffer then keep using it - that’s a start - (you can add a Mastodon channel) - Later social (is that later.com?) - Whats the website ? we can easily check. Honestly until (and yes I know I bang on) brands really learn the value of Owned media (which if you are using your own domain - then ActivityPub stuff is really something you own) - then they won’t understand the value of Activitypub. - I cringe everytime I see a brand/organisation Fediverse account not using its own domain. If you want them to not screw up - then I recommend a combination of their own server on their own domain and actually making an effort to engage on the topic area (without being spammy)

@LegoBrickOnFire Ok… so just guessing that the key thing you might want to sell is the #Sociallistening / #engagement features of a solution alongside the value of #ownedmedia that ActivityPub brings. I think that your company is in a common situation. - Do you run a #CRM system?

@meldrik @LegoBrickOnFire Please tell me you don’t get the #ai features if you selfhost :wink:

@meldrik @LegoBrickOnFire What #CMS does your company have? What are you currently using for #Sociallistening / #socialmediamanagement ? Do you manage your own website? - Some background on these would help a heap.

Could simply creating a basic #ActivityPub server using #Wordpress or something else on your domain and then using a #crossposting to echo your #Twitter posts work as a starting point?

@LegoBrickOnFire I understand that #Postiz and #buffer buffer.com/social-media-terms/… say they support it. I still find it weird that #Hootsuite doesn’t appear to (I’m not a current user) and neither does #SproutSocial - What I find weird is that #marketers know the value of #ownedmedia and the challenges of #disintermediation that the big social networks cause for them - but there doesn’t really appear to be a good guide to managing #brands on #Activitypub - Ditto for #Government agencies

@LegoBrickOnFire I was going to suggest this - Its #opensource but I haven’t had any experience with it directly (I’d like to try it) @meldrik - What can you tell us about it?

@LegoBrickOnFire What are they using for Posting now? The best option is to keep using what ever they use (if it supports ActivityPub). Beyond that I’ve wondered whether the next best approach is to start with a tool that replicates your posts On your own domain - The point being they you want to be authorative and not end up getting tied into any particular server.

@CraigCabbage I think you reprent alot of people. My vision is that eventually an #opensource based #router - #server with the features of #openwrt and #yunohost and a clear simple guided sertup would enable drop in personal / fanily email, file serving, personal finance, social media and network sharing solutions.

@CraigCabbage @dil This is what I have done.

@AnalogNotDigital Ah I found BBC, Reuters and AP quoting the Ukranian SBU " SBU officially confirmed it had carried out the strikes, saying that “34% of [Russia’s] strategic cruise missile carriers” were hit" - bbc.com/news/articles/c1ld7ppr… - and that " Tu-95 and Tu-22M3, as well as A-50 were destroyed" - Claims not yet independently verified. - It sounds like a massive hit but I have a feeling that we might see independent claims downgrading the figure a bit. The “strategic cruise missile carriers” is also a bit of qualifier. I would assume that there are independent estimates of what usable air power Russia has. I’m not seeing those chime in yet.

@Bonifratz @AnalogNotDigital I was interested in this - can you share where this figure came from / how calculated?

@Thorry84 Yeah … I think their apps even offer it as a feature so you don’t have to pick up the device.

@Thorry84 @semperverus I’m often surprised how behind the times the US is. I mean chequebooks anyone? Card swiping? Overnight payment systems? Feels like a step back to the 90’s

@Thorry84 @semperverus Im just checking . Are you discussing what is basically ASDA shop and go… or the same service with a different name offered by every major UK supermarket ? asda.com/instore/scan-and-go

@warmaster Cheers. Ideally we would bring everything together. I guess Wordpress is a bit different though. Maybe i should have web hosting…
