   I need to edit an svg file so I just typed sudo apt install inkscape and a few seconds later the svg is open in a professional-level vector graphics application. I sometimes forget why I love open source so much, but then I do something like this and appreciate how lucky we are to have so many devs and packagers and testers etc working on open source operating systems and applications.

   So thanks everyone. Thanks for making Linux and open source so great.

   @danlyke @davew OStatus = ActivityStreams + Atom + PuSH/WebSub, it's what Fedi ran on before 2019.

   Mastodon switched to ActivityPub mainly because of a simpler protocol stack and explicit support for scoped addressing, which enables DMs. This caused other Fedi applications to move as well, as well as leading to a cambrian explosion of entirely new applications.

   So while using the equivalent of RSS for all this is clearly possible, it was leaving that behind that created the network we see today.

   Still, Mastodon does offer RSS feeds for all users: mastodon.social/@clacke.rss
