day 1
as an entry to the fediverse, i first registered a mail account on cock.li. after all, email is the first distributed communication platform. i chose this service because they are tor-friendly and i will use tor browser exclusively in my adventures on the fediverse.
one nice thing about cock.li is that your mail address is also your xmpp address. so, i tried it on movim and as they said on cock.li's help page, it just werked.
then, i registered an account on pump.io network to follow the guy who started it all. while there, i thought, i could also follow debain project's only official social media account. well, i couldn't. it gave an error like this [object Object]. i have no idea what it means. other things i noticed are:
- pump.io's homepage is not on https
- evan prodromou prefers twitter. his account on twitter is verified and he has another locked private account.
you see, this may be one of the problems of the fediverse. its creators don't use it.
update
i could follow the pump.io accounts i mentioned. apparently, the error was caused due to unverified email address.
