A question for my #WordPress friends.

I've found a plugin which hasn't been updated for over a year. It needs a few fixes, which I've written and tested - not security related.
The maintainer stopped answering support questions about 2 years ago.
I've tried emailing them, but had no response.
The code isn't on GitHub.

I know GPLv2 says I can fork and republish the code - but do you think a year is too soon to be stepping on the maintainer's toes?

Advice welcome!

It’s a Thing!

Das Fediverse tut sich schwer, das volle Potential der verschiedenen Activity-Objects auszunutzen, hauptsächlich aus Angst, sie falsch oder schlecht darzustellen und deshalb teilen die meisten großen Netzwerke leider nur Notes.

Dabei könnte es so einfach sein!

@deadsuperhero schreibt auf seinem Blog, dass er eigentlich gerne Articles veröffentlichen will, aber (hauptsächlich) durch Mastodon zu Note gezwungen wird, wenn er sicher gehen will, dass der Text vollständig dargestellt wird.

Here’s the problem, though: the biggest player in the space, Mastodon, does a poor job of supporting Article. Instead, every post Mastodon uses is instead a Note. From a semantic point of view, it might not seem like there’s a lot of difference between the two: both are effectively texts posts that can contain some formatting markup, both can hold an arbitrary amount of characters, and both can effectively be used to represent a full article.

A Content-Fallback Mechanism for the Fediverse

Ironischerweise zeigt Mastodon eine föderierte Note vollständig an, auch wenn der Text weit über die eigentlich erlaubten 500 Zeichen hinaus geht, bei einem Article wird statt dessen aber nur die kurze summary benutzt.

Seine Idee: Ein Content-Fallback Mechanismus!

Das heißt jede Aktivität, egal von welchem Typ, liefert zusätzlich zu dem spezifischen Objekt, eine standardisierte Note (content-fallback):

<span><code class="hljs language-json">{  <span class="hljs-attr">"@context"</span>:[    <span class="hljs-string">"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"</span>,    {      <span class="hljs-attr">"Hashtag"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"as:Hashtag"</span>    }  ],  <span class="hljs-attr">"id"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"https://wedistribute.org/2024/04/iftas-dsa-guide/"</span>,  <span class="hljs-attr">"type"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"Article"</span>,  <span class="hljs-attr">"content-fallback"</span>: {    <span class="hljs-attr">"content"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"IFTAS, the dedicated Trust & Safety organization ..."</span>,    <span class="hljs-attr">"mediaType"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"text/plain"</span>,    <span class="hljs-attr">"summary"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">""</span>,    <span class="hljs-attr">"tag"</span>:[{      <span class="hljs-attr">"href"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"https://wedistribute.org/tags/fediverse"</span>,      <span class="hljs-attr">"name"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"#fediverse"</span>,      <span class="hljs-attr">"type"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"Hashtag"</span>    }],    <span class="hljs-attr">"type"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"Note"</span>,    <span class="hljs-attr">"updated"</span>:<span class="hljs-string">"2024-04-11T20:55:29Z"</span>  }}</code></span><small class="shcb-language" id="shcb-language-1"><span class="shcb-language__label">Code-Sprache:</span> <span class="shcb-language__name">JSON / JSON mit Kommentaren</span> <span class="shcb-language__paren">(</span><span class="shcb-language__slug">json</span><span class="shcb-language__paren">)</span></small>

Ich verstehe das Problem und finde die Idee generell nicht schlecht, aber eigentlich bietet ActivityPub alles Nötige schon von Haus aus! ActivityPub oder besser ActivityStreams ist so aufgebaut, dass alle Objekte von einem Art Base-Object abgeleitet werden. Das heißt Article, Note, Event oder Place, haben ein gleiches Minimal-Set an Attributen:

• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-attachment">attachment</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-attributedto">attributedTo</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-audience">audience</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-content">content</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-context">context</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-name">name</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-icon">icon</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-image">image</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-inreplyto">inReplyTo</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-published">published</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-replies">replies</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-summary">summary</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-tag">tag</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-updated">updated</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-url">url</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-to">to</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-bto">bto</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-cc">cc</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-bcc">bcc</a>
• <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-mediatype">mediaType</a>
• …und mehr

Und auch wenn beispielsweise Place oder Event einige spezifische Eigenschaften haben, die nicht jede Plattform „kennt“ und „versteht“, sollte es immer möglich sein, die Beschreibung (content oder summary) und den Titel (name) anzuzeigen.

Das Prinzip ist ähnlich wie, wenn nicht sogar inspiriert durch, schema.org/Thing. Auch hier basieren alle Objekte letztendlich auf einem Thing und trotz der wesentlich größeren Anzahl1 an Objekten und Attributen, können Suchmaschinen sich immer sicher sein, dass es zumindest einen name, eine description und eine url zum Anzeigen gibt.

Bevor wir über also über ein content-fallback nachdenken, sollten wir (meiner Meinung nach) erst einmal dafür sorgen, dass die vorhanden Möglichkeiten richtig genutzt werden.

Does anyone know who owns fediverse.org? It used to be a registry for GNU Social implementations, and then it went dark in 2019. It seems to have been a placeholder since mid-2020. I'd love to talk to the owner about taking it over.

My wife is looking forward to deleting her Instagram account once she can connect with the same folks from her Mastodon account. Being able to remain in touch with over 100M people who still use Meta products out of the comfort of an ad-free, privacy-friendly platform like Mastodon is a game changer.

what do we have to do to make the #ActivityPub plugin attractive to more #WordPress users? We are currently at 4000+ active users on WordPress.org + the WordPress.com users.

[Mastodon vs WordPress]

WordPress has now it's own integration into the Fediverse by the beautiful Plugin called ActivityPub, once first developed from @pfefferle and now part of Automattic as the Company behind WordPress.

WHY do I need Mastodon any longer? 😏

The whole Reason to start my own Instance was once, that I just wanna share my Posts into the Fediverse and redirect everyone back to my Blog for further interaction. 😁
