   It really is too bad that Diaspora never integrated ActivityPub.

   They talk to Friendica and Hubzilla.

   But they don't talk to Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, or PeerTube.

     @maegul I think Dennis is looking for a uniform experience. However, the lack of uniformity is a feature to me, not a bug.

     It is nice that a microblogging platform talks to a video platform.

     @atomicpoet @mozilla @mozilla@mastodon.social.social So, as a layperson on AP, I’ve more or less thought the same as this blog post just by being underwhelmed by the quality of the inter-platform integration in the fediverse over AP. It seems a tad over-hyped because of what Dennis outlines. It isn’t opinionated, so every interface between any two platforms requires its own additional layer.

     TBH, I’d like to read a serious reply to this in support of AP.

     I wonder how Dennis Schubert feels about @mozilla starting up mozilla.social.

     He's a core diaspora* dev who works at @mozilla.social

     He wrote this very intense post about why diaspora* wasn't going to add ActivityPub, and it seems he wasn't very happy about Mastodon.

     @loke @maegul I mean, @reiver and I are building a streaming audio/video network with ActivityPub integration.

     @atomicpoet @maegul to add to what you said, a flexible protocol allows for new ideas to be implemented, ideas that weren't even considered when the spec was defined.

     I'm sure the Diaspora protocol is great for implementing Diaspora. But people experimenting in this don't want to implement Diaspora. They want to build something completely new. AP provides the underlying framework to allow these applications to link to an existing network. It lets them take advantage of the network effect as it were.

     Most applications using AP are still microblogging platforms in one way or the other. The idea to tie a code forge (was it gitea?) platform to AP is one of the more interesting ideas, and something you could never do with Diaspora, I think.

     clacke repeated this.
