This is how I am thinking about pointing to the GreatApe WebSocket API in the activity file.

The GreatApe WebSocket API — ActivitySocket ? — is sending ActivityPub activities over a WebSocket, along with some other stuff (such a queries, and commands).

Right now, I am using the "endpoints" field with the sub-field "inoutbox" to point to the WebSockets API end-point.

@j12t

You could probably ask @evan .

@j12t

I recall that someone mentioned before that "ActivityPub" was a renaming of "ActivityPump".

And, I would assume that the "pump" in "ActivityPump" is from pump.io

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump.io

But, I never tried verifying any of that.

Organizers Log:

An update about the Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon) on August 1st & Saturday August 2nd I have been organizing.

I am talking to the owners of the room the conference will take place in.

I am dealing with some of the detail of getting the room ready for the conference.

What does it take to get a PieFed instance setup?

“The origin story of Pixelfed does have its roots in GNU social — and we've been heavily inspired by Mastodon as well.”

One challenge with Bluesky URLs is that —

URLs to your post do NOT look like this:

https;//pfrazee․com/post/3lp37e53chs2e

But, in practice, instead look like this:

https;//bsky․app/profile/pfrazee․com/post/3lp37e53chs2e

If someone wanted to censor you, to unperson you, and to remove you from the social-network — they could do so by means of bsky․app.

And, could effectively remove any and all your posts by just "removing" them from bsky․app

BLUESKY URL

One good thing that Bluesky tried to do is — try to give you control of your identity.

They chose to do it using Internet domains.

So, rather than be ＠pfrazee․bsky․social , you can be ＠pfrazee․com

(I do think Internet domains have problems (as they can be taken away from you), but — it is an improvement.)

It makes it much more difficult to censor you, to unperson you, and to remove you from the social-network if you control your own identity.

HOWEVER —

#Bluesky #DeSo

To be fair, this type of thing can happen on the Fediverse, too — if you are on someone else's server.

But, the advantage that decentralized social-media, over centralized social-media, is —

This isn't the end.

You can either go to another server instance.

Or, you can create your own server instance (i.e., self-host), and then no one can suspend your account.

#DeSo #Bluesky #Fediverse

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.

We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.

Here is what the OpenGraph preview card will more or less look like — when you a URL to a conversation on GreatApe.

(Although the exact look will depend on which front-end app you are using.)

@dansup

Is it possible to increase the video length limit in Loops with a config? Or does it require a code change?

(I think the video length limit as 60 seconds, wasn't it?)

@silverpill

Regarding:

"In order to hide the usage statistics, the values of properties in the usage object could be set to 0."

What do you think about setting it to 'null' rather than '0'?

I suppose if some software wasn't written robustly, it might "panic" on getting a non-number.

But, to me 'null' seems more appropriate.

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.

A relay could represent a community.

And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on

This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server

Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.

Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

There are also cultures on the Fediverse associated with specific communities.

Cultures with their own norms, fashions, traditions, preferences, and politics.

There are different mass cultures on the Fediverse.

The mass culture on Mastodon is not the same as the mass culture on Lemmy.

The mass culture on Mastodon is not the same as the mass culture on Pixelfed.

The mass culture on Mastodon is not the same as the mass culture on Misskey.

The mass culture on Mastodon is not the same as the mass culture on Friendica.
