This initiative is by no means official to the Diaspora project in any way; We Distribute runs automated channels intended to serve as a communication bridge. Occasionally updates referring to this channel may be made for questions about curation.
This channel can be subscribed to via #ActivityPub, #Ostatus, #Diaspora, and #Zot. Anyone is encouraged to comment on statuses and engage with the community.
This requires some adjustment and fine-tuning, but you can subscribe to it through Diaspora, Friendica, GNU Social, Mastodon, Socialhome, Hubzilla, or anywhere that can use #OStatus, #ActivityPub, #Diaspora Protocol, or #Zot.
> So if the proposed client/server protocol says the client should send a request twice and discards the first result (a Level 3/design-level statement), and the designer tells you it’s because there are three different kinds of request handlers in the codebase, and Bob’s sometimes gets it wrong the first time (a Level 2/implementation-level statement), you should get confused. You should be as confused as if someone wanted to call a file or write to a function.
Am I far off assuming that #ActivityPub is sort of a next generation implementation of #PubSubHubbub and other technologies that made weblogs (remember those?) talk to each other? In other words, is it time to dust off my #foaf yet?
@hobbithabit #WrongThink: wrongthink.net was once a GNU Social instance, but they replaced that with a home-grown non-federated site long ago. If you've seen them on some blocklist, that's just because those lists are poorly-researched at best. ( #BlockWars is the usual context in which wrongthink is raised. )
Federated #ActivityPub video streaming platform using #P2P #BitTorrent directly in the web browser with WebTorrent.

Security between #OStatus and #ActivityPub is exactly the same. If that's the sole advantage you're looking for, you'll be soundly disappointed on an AP-only network.
As for the #blockwars problem that Roy @schestowitz mentioned, the only possible solutions are (1) to put better blocking and filtering tools in the hands of the users instead of concentrating more power into admins' hands; and (2) smaller instances instead of larger ones.
Want to see a decentralized video hosting site?! I sure do! Check out this run-down of #PeerTube, an awesome new video platform that supports #ActivityPub
