"The worst thing I see (and this is really really bad) is that if Eugen/Gargron sends a restricted post to his 74000 followers and you decide to reply to it, your server is going to have to fetch the actor record for every one of those 74000 followers to find their inbox address and then send out 74000 copies of your reply.
On our side of the federation, if you want to have 74000 followers, it's only you who needs to pony up the resources to support that..."
@eloquence More maintainers is always desirable! Though it's not like they're lining up, as far as I'm aware of .)
I'd say the state is usable, unlikely to go through major changes (in functionality, but adaptation for #ActivityPub for delivering would be great - but things like federated pseudoprivate messaging or such scoping is unlikely to be implemented since there's no guaranteed way to keep confidentiality).
Love that my favorite Android Masto app, #Tusky, is open source. Love the fact that #Pinafore and #Halcyon exist as alternative web UIs. Love that #Pleroma is coming along well as an alternative #ActivityPub server. Love that the sex worker community on #Switter is actively working on building open source tech that works for their use case. Love to see instances like #OpenSocialAfrica and vis.social.
Y'all inspire me that this open source/free software thing may actually work out in the end. :)
I will push this to github in the next few days, its a different type of service than twitter or mastodon. I think the fediverse will like it. #ActivityPub
#GNU MediaGoblin https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/standardizing-network-freedom/ #ActivityPub is a federated social network protocol used to connect together decentralized Web sites running software such as Mastodon, Kroeg, and soon, MediaGoblin. How does ActivityPub work? What is the future of the standard and related work? What are Decentralized Identifiers, Capabilities, the "Web Of Trust," and why should you care? What are the lessons learned about standardization processes themselves, what roles and responsibilities should standards organizations play, and how can we make sure they have the right incentive structures? https://quitter.es/attachment/1644386
You remember how I talked about making Pelican emit #ActivityPub data that could eventually be consumed by a POSSE daemon that understood ActivityPub and connected with the rest of the Fediverse?
My new article about #Funkwhale is out! It's basically like a federated Grooveshark or Soundcloud. The main dev is working on bringing #ActivityPub to it.
