@KevinMarks @evan @oblomov Well, the IndieWeb like OStatus and to a degree Mastodon consists of many protocols and more may very well be added / extended / iterated upon, so they would be new, but part of something old and existing

@KevinMarks @evan @oblomov One of the latest examples of this is the MicroSub protocol: https://indieweb.org/Microsub

@evan What’s your take on eg https://fed.brid.gy/ then?

@simon The actual addressing of simon(a)simonwillison.net is independent of Mastodon though – it’s WebFinger which @blaine intially described and which has been around in this setup since @evan and @walkah created OStatus some +10 years back.
And WebFinger can be used to discover a lot else, eg used by OpenID Connect but can really contain any kind of link relations, like eg rel-payment for a donation feature (we did back then at Flattr)

@chrismessina Some standard like https://github.com/fedidcg/FedCM could maybe be more appropriate, and eg. reviving some of the original Web Intent work by @paul to move beyond the Web Share API into supporting actions as well (also explored by https://indieweb.org/webactions)

At its core Mastodon is basically ActivityPub + WebFinger as far as I understand and eg. WebFinger can be reused by others, as can ActivityPub, and granular open specs is what push us forward? DiSo-style, right?

@paul @chrismessina @evan Time for us to finally get to building this in practice, no? ? https://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/3122318414

And get some Cliqset / FriendFeed streams back into it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/3952120646/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/3103164628/

Get some Pownce style back: https://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/644405805/

Some Plaxo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/2306398737/

Some Jaiku: https://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/295948498

Right? ?

@evan Is this the same one that the IndieWeb crowd was involved in? @aaronpk
