Oh nice! Following a blog using is working like a charm!

Good job @julian

@julian btw. I would love to understand/support how NodeBB handles categories and groups!

@julian The plugin federates posts and comments.

But for now, a WordPress User can only be followed, I have no idea how to implement the following part nicely (yet).

I need your help, I thought there was a post/wiki page/fediverse thread... that documents all the past twitter actions, that brought mastodon a lot of new users, but I can not find it anywhere 😔

is there a way to post something in behalf of someone?

I just experiment with a blog wide user and want to avoid duplicate content. for now the blog-user simple boosts the posts, published by the several authors of a blog. do you know of other possibilities?

with ActivityPub you can use attributedTo on an object, to link the author and set the actor for the activity to the blog-user. is that supported/handled by platforms?

“When you respond to comments from the fediverse on your blog, they will now be federated. This allows you to finally engage in (threaded) communication back and forth directly from the comment section of your blog!”

So, we’re doing context collapse as a service, then.

Fuck this is such a bad idea. Blog comments have a context. You remove comments from that context, you harm your commenters and your sanity.

@jwz @fraying please don't make assumptions about why i do things!

having a fully federated blog and do not have to think about privacy concerns and local comments vs federated would be the easier way from a technical perspective, not how we tried to implement it!

I am thinking a lot about how to do that properly and to be honest, in the end it doesn't matter how I implement it, there is always someone complaining and that's ok, we can work on a solution.

@fraying @bix sure, but that is a mastodon issue, I do not have to split the WordPress posts into threads, they will be shown as a whole, even if they have more than 500 chars.

@pfefferle@mastodon.social avatar

@jwz @fraying I think that’s fair! It’s not easy to find a good way to support modern and decentralized communication protocols that work nicely together with a 15+ year old commenting system. And I think it’s better to start small and improve over time, than to keep it as it is for the next 15+ years! It’s important that independent and self hostable platforms will join the fediverse!

@fraying

> So when you say that, you must mean Wordpress.

Not generally, but in my case yes, I mean WordPress.

> So I’m sincerely asking, why is it important that Wordpress federate comments?

Because WordPress is build for blogging and blogging lives from interactions and discussions and I do no longer have them without the ideas from the IndieWeb and Fediverse Communities.

pfefferle,
@pfefferle@mastodon.social avatar

@jwz @fraying I will work on separating them better, so that it’s clear what threads are only local and what are federated, and help users that visit the blog to understand how they can answer to federated threads using their fediverse tool of choice!

pfefferle,
@pfefferle@mastodon.social avatar

@jwz @fraying and it is not bonkers! only because you have a different preference, the other opinion is not wrong!

if I comment on a federated network, I have to assume that this comment will be federated. If I visit a blog and write something into a comment field I can't!

@janboddez I read that you tweak the ActivityPub plugin a lot on your site, do you have the code somewhere on GitHub or so?

is there a best practice to set plugin default settings or do (db) migrations on plugin install and update?

sometimes I wonder why it's called "social media" when there's so much hate and anger there.

I'm a bit frustrated by open voice assistants (in combination with home automation)... Buying a Mycroft Mark 2 was an expensive failure...

that's weird... I deactivated most of the performance related plugins that I installed on my blog and now it feels way faster 😳

Mastodon seems to be having a pretty severe spam problem.

This has been going on for days in my mentions. The more domains we block, the more appear.
