@davew @mike,

There’s a vulnerability in plain sight right now, based on @Mastodon not supporting the Client-Server aspect of #ActivityPub.

Net is effect:
Clients are Mastodon-specific rather than ActivityPub based (what the #Fediverse is supposed to be about).

As you know, this is how the beginning of the end starts, since there’s no longterm protection from open standard compliance.

@Gargron,

Historically, the most ardent wall-garden builders (or siloists) evolve into open standards champions, once their monopolies implode—since there’s no other path to survival.

Open Standards always win out, eventually—and this reality is about to reshape the #SocialMedia too!

#ActivityPub is doing its thing ?

@evan,

Programming in a computer language or a natural language? If the latter, then everyone is already a programmer — as proven by CHAT-GPT ?

@atomicpoet,

They will try, but it will not work — especially now that the #fediverse (totally driven by protocols based on open standards) is out of the bag.

IMHO:
The key to all of this lies in loosely-coupling structured data representation with #identity #authenticity and #privacy (which can’t be delivered to an individual via 3rd parties).

@evan,

#Hyperlink that denotes the book you referred to.
