@trwnh Think we are going in a bit of circles here. Every time you say that custom links are dead to users who don't have compatable browsers or choose not to agree to the prompt to do the protocol handler... and I agree, but say that Javascrpt backup handles that use case, I'm not sure where we disagree after that?

@TechDesk Look at what #TeslaTakesown helped do... cc: @teslatakedown.com

Very glad to see @funkwhale funded today via this grant. Very deserved. Love the podcast and streaming audio/playlist support they offer to the fediverse. #funkwhale

Do think there needs to be a fedivere-wide discovery system or federated #podcasts in particular combining them, @Castopod and #PodcastAP conetent.

Current status: heart palpitations as I just discovered (thanks to @brucknerite) that my Fediverse promo video was mentioned and EMBEDDED in an opinion piece in Spain's @el_pais.

HUGE thanks to the writer @tferrer ❤️

#TheFutureIsFederated ✨ 🚀

@trwnh Two feels like a very small edge case. Three could be code for in javascript, right?

Meanwhile, HHS Sec RFK Jr. is busy peddling CTs and accusations against the medical establishment on twitter. Today, he announced that the U.S. will cut off funding for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, based on some trumped up charges.

@silverpill @strypey And as I look through these, do any one of the relate to the issue of seeing remote accounts with say 10 followers but when you click to view those followers they are "ghosted" and invisible to you as they hadn't federated your way yet?

@silverpill @strypey Got that: thanks you!

@silverpill @strypey

Love these. When there re two or more #FEPS for a fix for a UX Sin, is that because they are both competing with each other for final support? Or are those cases where they are both complimentary FEP's that both answer part?

@trwnh Why? It would work with all of them too, as long as they had javascrpt enabled and ansered only one prompt. And then set forever for that server.

@box464 All fun!

The weekly Fediverse Report doesnt disappear though, its just on a different domain name. In fact, Fediverse Report #122 is right here!

This week's news:
- @Mastodon announces and retracts a new ToS for their instances
- Threads moves their fediverse integration to a separate feed
- Wanderer is a new fediverse platform for sharing your hiking and biking trails

@activitypub.blog This project is rather small, but I realised that it would be quite too much to carry it out properly without funding.

@benpate @sl007 Fully agree with that strategy.

@benpate @tchambers

phew, yes, but it will get long and snarky. My fear is that masto guys say I am harrassing people when talking about math.

Anyway:
We do not want to build monopolies in the fediverse. This was why design decisions in ActivityPub had been clever made before they were destroyed.
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

1) ActivityPub relies fully on URLs not webfinger. I have no clue why we needed to copy and paste the logic of twitter to a wonderful Open Protocol.
I do neither understand what is better in "@benpate" than in e.g "benpate.social" or "benpate@mastodon.social" apart from 1 character for free.

2) ActivityPub has a built in "Client To Server" API.
The idea is that any client can interact with any server.
This is also the reason for the later green boxes and the term "the entirety of the protocol" [overstressed in the Conformance Section] …
Not just anyone with mastodon.
The idea to create a special own Client API for an Open Protocol still is ridiculous.

@alexia Ok well then at least you can plan for the day (hopefully soon) when there are! I really like the software and bet that day will be sooner than later….👍

@alexia Trusted and vetted by each major Fediverse flagship site:

So Warfn.net would be one portal and it would set public minimum standards and choose the other warfn servers that met those commitments and requirements. One might be pledges to not shut down for xx months and to give yy months warning if they do.

Yes. #defendresearch

@benpate @tchambers

we had an official Social CG meeting about this, my summary was https://gist.github.com/sebilasse/17e52461d500f4c97f2d34edeb12c2ad

just to add this little piece of history from the W3C wiki : https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams/Expanded_Vocabulary#Potential_Actions_attached_to_objects

@paul Thank you for helping me get the word out. 🔥
