   I'll have to write a down-to-earth explanation of Mastodon Protocol (which != #ActivityPub) just so I can understand it myself, then use it to implement #Fediverse Login!
   
   ActivityPub was clearly designed by Architecture Astronauts (a googleable term coined by Joel Spolsky).

     @immibis why are we calling it the mastodon protocol?😂

     That feels like it's throwing the W3C team who built AP under the bus a bit.🫣

     @immibis it's still in development and Mastodon didn't make it "a complete system", which is apparent given you're on Akkoma, a non-mastodon ActivityPub platform.

     @BeAware because #ActivityPub is worthless except in the context of a complete system, and it doesn't even specify that complete system, the way that HTTP+HTML=the web.
     
     BTW I'm on Pleroma. It's another implementation of the Mastodon protocol.

     @immibis it specifically only uses Mastodon's code? Never knew.

     @BeAware yes, an alternate implementation of Mastodon's protocol, of which ActivityPub is just one part.
     BeAware repeated this.
