did i mention that this runs 100% asynchronously?

this is how you implement an activitypub verb without writing any actual code.

the cool thing is i have a cute idea for reflecting sqlalchemy objects straight into activitystreams objects

in general not really, a lot of protocols come with competently written docs that are actually good, instead of discussing JSON LD every 5.3 sentences

seriously i am having to learn activitypub protocol through the same way i learned IRC protocol, by fucking with it instead of reading docs

in 2018

this is amazingly bad docs

@bea

it turns out you don't really need to worry about JSON LD at all, and mastodon does not care about JSON LD.

so, i see no reason to care about JSON LD either.

@bea

inbox = salmon slaps
outbox = atom feed

the structures themselves are fairly obvious, i don't think there's much need to discuss them

ok i think i got activitypub figured out, thanks for the bad documentation w3c

it is honestly easier to do that then read a specification that says JSON Linked Data every other paragraph

yes, i am just learning how activitypub works by playing with the endpoints on my server

the real question is how does mastodon render

{
summary: "toot toot toot",
content: "toooooooooot!!!!!",
sensitive: false
}

toot toot toot

@DeltaWitch

Quaternion literally has the same UI as X-Chat (for better or worse)

@moz

IRC tech is actually inherently broken, TS6 is built on assumptions that are no longer true

i'm the fuckin t. boone pickens of matrix, man.

pushed IRC for a long time, saw it was horrible, telling people how to fix it now

@DeltaWitch https://github.com/mujx/nheko

all IRC security innovations are pointless when networks are dominated by script kiddies who are feared by admins because they control large IoT botnets

only way to fix this is to change the game, which is why IRC should die in 2018

most of the large IoT DDoS attacks over the past couple of years started because of bullshit on IRC

lets make 2018 the year IRC dies
