   Is this new? I had never seen this before @samsethi linked to it a bit ago?

     @tchambers @benpate

     We have also built something called SecureRSS aka L.402 to enable creators to mix freemium and premium content in the same RSS feed.

     In two weeks on Podnews Weekly Review I will be interviewing Oscar from Fountain Blue about how they have used L.402

     Hosts need to adopt this asap. Paywall sites like Patreon will disappear why manage two feeds and two accounts your hosting account and your Patreon account.

     I wrote about it here.

     Hi Tim

     I really want to demo but away from 1st -6th June.

     TrueFans build native ActivityStreams using 30+ verbs to track user behaviour. Play, Follow, Share, Watch, Comment etc.

     We show this in the user Activity Tab e.g Sam listened to Podnews Weekly for 60 mins., percent completed 80% and value paid §100 sats

     We also allow the user to publish some or all of their activity via ActivityPub. So I might want to just share my play activity to the social web. #fediverse

     Tim Chambers repeated this.

     @benpate @tchambers @samsethi Fedi devs should keep in mind that FEP-0837 exists, which is basically the same protocol but built on top of ActivityPub instead of HTTP.
     It is also not limited to paywalling.

     @silverpill @benpate @samsethi

     Can you explain that more and compare/contrast it to L402?

     Here’s how I understand it after a quick read through

     L402 is not ActivityPub. It’s aimed at RSS feeds, and making podcast player apps that can access paid content.

     So your server mixes paid/free content into a single RSS feed, then returns an HTTP 402 on unauthenticated requests for paid content. A smart podcast app will use this to let you buy the episode.

     The FEP does a similar thing for ActivityPub requests. I think the two could work hand-in-hand.

     @tchambers @benpate @samsethi I would add that FEP-0837 is not solely about payments. It is about exchanging one thing for another thing.

     Specific payment methods are not defined in that FEP, and neither are access control mechanisms.
