@pfefferle -- what i ought to do is hook my writing tool up the wordpress and use it as a gateway to ActivityPub. what a service that would be. you already have a great debugged API and it's running at scale. this is exciting. ;-)
i just realized that with wordpress on the activitypub bus, you now have to deal with all the limits that imposes. or do you? users of wordpress expect to be able to use links and style, and put titles on their posts, and character limits are unknown.
as a writer and developer of communication tools this limit has been stifling. it's a barrier that would be wonderful to erase.
It would be great if we could make voting a party, a celebration, something to look forward to, not something you have to make time for. That would probably do more to improve the lives of all Americans than any other single thing. It's like the SuperBowl, the NBA Finals, Coachella or the Oscars, only better -- because we are the stars.
@pfefferle — interesting. I haven’t tried to federate anything with bluesky. Just trying to understand what it is and why it hasn’t been federated with yet. Thanks for the extra info and nice to hear from you. :-)
For the DNC in 2004, we had a site called Convention Bloggers. It was a river of news feed reader, clearly done with Frontier, of blogs run by people who were at the convention.
Great wealth is poison, that's what's playing out in the NYT-orchestrated overthrow of the American government. They're driving us into the arms of the Nazis. Who knows why, or even if there is a reason, other than their to find meaning in their great wealth. Their problem, and ours is that it has no meaning, no human can use the money they've accumulated. This is a game of make-believe, what if we really were as smart as we think our money says we are. Well you ain't that smart.
Heard an interview show on NPR where they went to laundromats and asked people about the upcoming election.
Big surprise they say pretty much exactly what they say on the news about the candidates, all of it bothsidesisms and no mention of the fascism coming our way if we go one direction.
It's all everyone's fault, so why bother voting, is mostly what they say.
