@BeAware Perhaps discoverability. Since #ActivityPub is not a single image of all posts, we need a better way to find posts we're interested in. Also, there should be less friction in engaging with another server; currently, you need to switch to that instance before you can interact with a post.

Just saw someone ask what's the best things about Fediverse.

Though, I think the opposite question is just as important. If the issues aren't recognized and discussed, they might not be fixed.

So, what are the worst things about Fediverse?🤔

#Fedi #Fediverse #ActivityPub

No. Fuck this. I literally left #Tumblr a few month ago because they have a serious infestation of #CP and child #SA. If you’re an admin, I’d suggest blocking Tumblr. The #Fediverse will have to deal with more and more of this as it becomes increasingly popular. #ActivityPub support or not, we do NOT want an invasion of #CorporateCorruption.

não vejo tanto problema fazer uma do zero. Podem realmente ter requisitos específicos. Porém certeza deveria ter capacidades do #ActivityPub.

EDIT: está mais para um streaming público de conteúdo nacional e não um Peertube (aspecto de rede social). De qq maneira iniciativa importante e bem vinda. E o código deveria ser livre 😎

Tumblr is going to join the fediverse! (Aka mastodon, Pixlr, PeerTube Etc.)

Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today.

Tumblr to join the fediverse after WordPress migration completes

Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today.

The company noted that the migration could also allow for other open web integrations, like giving Tumblr users a way to run other custom plug-ins or themes.

"While none of the newcomers is anywhere near ready to rival Meta’s size and scope, their ability to even carve out a small niche within Meta’s shadow is compelling." #fediverse #activitypub #pixelfed

Contratação de dois profissionais, um de #comunicaçãoweb e outro de #tecnologiaweb para o projeto “Construíndo pontes, dos #museus para o #fediverso"

Um aspecto que nos interessa, com esta iniciativa, é chamar a atenção dos desenvolvedores e comunicadores web para a grande oportunidade que é conhecer e explorar o universo das aplicações para o protocolo #ActivityPub.

I'm starting to get the feeling that the Fedi Mafia doesn't REALLY care about anything on Fedi, they're just bored as hell all the time and want to stir up some drama to giggle at.

I don't see harassing developers as something to giggle at, but with their consistent absolute ignorance of the platform and unwillingness to see how harassment is hurting the platform, I can't help but think they're just really bored assholes.

If it's useful to Fedi, they harass and threaten the developer so that others will talk about them. Because any attention is good attention to these assholes.

If it's not useful, they just ignore it and the project doesn't go anywhere cause it's not useful.🤦♂️

Ignore hate. Build useful Fedi tools.

Threats and harassment are ridiculous.

#Fedi #Fediverse #ActivityPub #BridgyFed #Fedicate #FediOnFire #Harassment

Another Fedi discovery tool destroyed by the Fedi Mafia.

I've been here almost 2 years and this place is no more usable than when I got here and it seems that's not changing anytime soon.

Fedi will continue to be mostly tech nerds and that's why people are choosing BlueSky and threads over Fedi.

Enjoying my limited time with @surf so far.

Looking forward to when it will be able to connect other accounts beyond Mastodon.😁

I just got told Fediverse is "CIA" on a corporate platform that's owned by one of the biggest data harvesting companies on the planet. :kek:

Fedi, sometimes y'all are wild, but at least most of you aren't that damn stupid. :lul:

#Fedi #Fediverse #ActivityPub #Mastodon #SocialMedia

A cursed #ActivityPub idea.

Problem: Remote profiles sometimes look empty on Mastodon because only the stickied posts are synchronized on profile update.

Observation: Neither the ActivityPub nor Mastodon specs limit the number of sticky posts on a profile. Nothing says you can't have 100 000 sticky posts.

Solution: an ActivityPub server implementation that auto-stickies every single post you write.

The things I come up with thinking about @fedify while in the shower.

Just a warning for Fedi devs:

If you plan on building discovery features for Fedi, BeAware of the "Fedi Mafia" that harasses, threatens, and abuses any dev on Fedi that DARES to make an open platform a little bit more usable.🤦♂️

Over the past 2 months, I've seen 4 Fedi projects that were building tools to help people find accounts and servers to make it easier to find content on Fedi, get shut down because people who don't understand that Fedi is OPEN, harassed and threatened the devs until they shut their projects down.🤬

So, if you plan on building these tools, PLEASE just be prepared to block and continue building your tools.

Ignorant people should not dictate how this protocol is built. Don't let the abusers win.

Forum software NodeBB joins the fediverse | TechCrunch

[As users began to shift away from centralized social media apps owned by billionaires like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and X’s Elon Musk, the ActivityPub protocol has been adopted by a wider range of software applications and services. ]
