Indeed. Reflects badly on those sponsors: "Sponsored by the Mafia, and by SURF"

For your information, I recently opened an issue to track current #ActivityPub C2S implementations.

This is the list thus far:

#ActivityPods
#Epicyon
#Onepage.pub
#Pleroma
#RDFPub
#Vocata
#FedBOX
#Mitra
#streams
#forte

Client-side #AndStatus is a well-known attempt to implement it:

@evan @write_as

I am sorry, I overlooked that. I will honor your preference to not use the default location at SocialHub where discussions form a searchable archive and are federated out across the fediverse. Though I regret your choice, the FEP discussionsTo field expressly allows anyone the freedom to discuss in most convenient way.

Do you want me to remove the forum topic again?

@write_as I like the improvements and above all the focus to adhere to Fediverse Enhancements Proposals. Thank you! In this case:

@write_as

That is excellent and exemplary to other fediverse app developers to help the #ActivityPub ecosystem improve and become increase overall #interoperability.

PS. I noticed that no discussion thread for the #FEP was created on #SocialHub, so I took that upon me:

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-b2b8-long-form-text/5300/2?u=aschrijver

I mentioned #WriteFreely / #WriteAs in follow-up as candidate for the Implementations sections of this FEP.

@cwebber I've heard it is a fitness area for the internet. Get yourself in better shape, internet!

@rysiek @feed

Yes, that is a bug, right? Your latest reply still has that same behavior.

@julian imho..

Pros and cons of decentralization + current state of fedi as a microblogging dominant thing.

We're on a fragmentiverse,where community waters down, what you send today is lost in history tomorrow. There is no search, no archive.

We are on a good path but the kind of organization we need to mature social web open standards and enabling technologies is not well supported on fedi.

Barrier to sign up to a single forum removed, easier access, but dispersal of the community efforts.

@julian

To get things on a forum archive in the right place, I'd have to mention that place in my mastodon toot. And then the next place too, unless they happen to be cross-federated with the other one.

One thing we discussed in the path was Unbound Groups brought in a FEP by Diogo of GNU Social, whereby the groups aren't bound to a single server instance where they are defined as an actor. This might help give the same community belonging that is more stimulating for collaborative actions.

@julian

And a deeper discussion is that there really is no "the fedi", or they shouldn't be that notion for our future of social networking. Unless you want to refer to some broad category. I see 'fediverse' the same as internet and web, category names.

What do we want to DO on this fedi of ours? What needs do we have wrt communications online?

Microblogging certainly nice, I am doing it right now. But is shouldn't be the only hammer and everything nails. Enfin, you know the discussion :)

@BeAware

Yes, possible. But I didn't mean a true takeover, just de facto. Think a dev portal like React or GraphQL with a relatively large paid team of employees that effectively the new course and direction.

Right now none of that is needed, as fedi doesn't pose a real threat. They may spin something up to counteract Bluesky uptake though. Just speculating.

@BeAware or more EEE, time will tell. I see Threads as strategic investment that places Meta in a strong position to counteract any threats to their empire. And otherwise as a way to deal with - in their eyes - pesky EU regulations of DMA/DSA.

Until now they threw peanuts $$ to Threads. And it was a huge success implementation-wise (built on top of the complex Instagram existing stack in no time).

If Meta feels ActivityPub protocol evolution is stuck, they may launch a dev portal. Take charge.

@rysiek @index@404media.co

Weird. You edited the toot and changed 'index' to 'feed' in the fedi handle to 404 media.

So I received a mastodon 'edited a post' notification that in the display text reflects that. However when I hover over that with my mouse it still points to the 'index' handle, and same when replying.

'Open original page' shows everything as I'd expected it to be.

In 2019 Tristan Harris, ex-Google Ethics and known from "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix, said to me - after having spent a year for The Center of Humane Technology strategizing with well-informed Silicon Valley insiders and even world leaders - that the Center's primary concern was "to avoid the complete unraveling of the fabric of society and wars".

Though the signs were on the wall it was still shocking to hear it from him.

Today we are at that inflection point, with #AI our greatest threat.

Anyone working with printers in their #activism should know about tracking dots. This project helps deal with them.

@alcinnz I am thinking I need to dig up some old Greek language words from the foggiest parts of my old brain. 😅

Has a dictatorship any place in a future EU? Asking for Turkey.
