@rowan a reputation system where names can be appended and never removed what could go wrong

@forteller The SocialWG has voted to propose ActivityPub as a standard. Now it's up to the W3C management and membership to turn it into a real one. But the working group believes it's ready to go forward.

<tantek> RESOLVED: AP to PR with the non-normative changes https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#changes-31-october-14-november

OMG YAY

👍

so the hardest problem in computer science is actually people

after that I'd probably say revocation

I know some Mastodon devs are either skeptical of doing it or think it wouldn't be worth the effort but: imagine if Mastodon spoke ActivityPub's C2S protocol on both frontend and backend and then you hooked Mastodon's default web frontend to @puckipedia's Twitter AP bridge

Then you could control twitter through something that looks like tweetdeck but using mastodon's UI

that shit would be hilarious

Got really excited to make what I thought was a container of loose tea

Instead it was a container full of tea in nylon bags

why do people put tea in nylon bags this is the worst

@bob @h Social attacks on web of trust systems are underexplored (partly because web of trust systems are underexplored!)

By having a public follower count, *everyone* (yes, even you, yes even me) is gamed into comparing whether your follower count is higher than others, whether others got more likes / shares / etc than you.

This isn't a good basis for thoughtful communication.

Wow... my buddy list on XMPP finally just dropped to less than a page as all the gmail users vanished from the list.

TFW you (and a bunch of other people!) worked on something for 3 years and it looks like it was worth it after all.

Mastodon's ActivityPub implementation report is added!

Hey! That page is really filling out! :)

40% of Detroit lacks internet access so these folks are making it happen with a mesh network https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/kz3xyz/detroit-mesh-network

@nightpool I guess that also steps into "how do we prevent it" though, because the default mode of doing moderation tooling in Mastodon may eventually push Mastodon to likewise become a bunch of silos.

This is one reason I feel user-centric anti-abuse tooling may be better... but admittedly the UX on that is hard to figure out.

and I'll just execute this keyboard macro over this region and oh god I forgot I defined a new one in between oh no #emacsworldproblems

activitypub is a team effort
