Boh, give up. Ho cercato di "federare" un blog Wordpress usando il famoso plugin, ma non funziona .."perche' dipende da questo ..perche' dipende da quell'altro.. ah ma forse il tuo hosting... ah, ma forse gli admin hanno attivato quell'altro .. ah ma forse sticazzi?".
I get that #nostr is popular with people who don't want to share a server with anybody (and their rules). But don't lots of people achieve that with a stripped down implementation of #ActivityPub?
@wjmaggos nostr is not a bad project, but it's still using instances's just calling them relays and not promoting the community side of this. The conversations around this are not the best. People argue that #bluesky and #nostr are both spoilers on #activitypub there is some truth to this, though am more they are all #4opens and diversity is good, but please be honest path.
@hamishcampbell@wjmaggos I started with Nostr and later came to Mastodon, now using Mastodon much more.
Still I do not get the fixation on blocking, especially instance blocking, here, probably since I never had problems with anyone online.
It happens from time to time that I cannot follow people here, since our instances do not federate.
That could not happen on Nostr.
Every time I take a stab at building for the Fediverse, I'm immediately drained for motivation by the ambiguities and contradictions of the AP/AS2 family of specs.
Oh, you want to do some validation of the actor property of activities posted to the Outbox? Good luck. It can have any number of values, and can even (per examples in the AS2 spec) mention actors from different instances.
#Ghost#ActivityPub#Decentralization#OpenWeb: "They say the best way to predict the future is to create it, so two weeks ago we shared our intention to connect Ghost with the ActivityPub Network to bring back the open web. We were delighted when our ideas managed to spread even further and wider than we'd imagined, and that so many of you signed up to be a part of the journey."
Look at how @mikedev designed events in @streams! I would love to see this implemented in other software. @julian have you thought about how @nodebb would display an #ActivityPub event yet? Does @silverpill's @mitra have any support? What about @grunfink's SNAC?
This feels like a natural next step for @mastowatch but the entire design of the app is structured around Mastodon instance data. I think if someone were going to do something similar for #activitypub at large, it would have to be a different app that is more generalized.
That said, I would love to see someone take the idea and do something for every kind of ActivityPub server/software. I would use it so much. I would probably even add a link to it within @mastowatch.
Bluesky enthusiasts are stating that Bluesky has ”plans” to make ATProto universal and transfer it to W3C or the like. Well, there is no evidence that Bluesky wants to give up control or the protocol is going to be widely adopted after 5 years of development so forgive me being sceptical. The story is a bit different with ActivityPub.
@rolle agree. If they were serious about this, they would commit to participate in social web working group and to moving toward full federation with the rest of the #Fediverse, instead of scoffing at anyone who raises these points.
