@cstanhope I see you have reached #IndieMark level 1.

Do you share my feeling that federated social media like this runs counter to the #IndieWeb goals? I dig #ActivityPub, but I wonder if it fills the spot that #Webmentions is supposed to fill, and therefore essentially moves the target from an individual's site to wherever they hand their hat on the #fediverse.

I enjoy the conversation here (for instance, would we be chatting had we both merely blogs?), but it isn't very "independent".

@maloki that's certainly an interesting addition to #Jetpack, but I am not sure if it fits what that plugin does: they handle the centralized credentials to auto-post, so individuals don't need to connect their site via the API for $CorporateSocialNetwork.

#Mastodon doesn't have that inherent flaw, so it may not fit design of that sub-plugin.

Depending on how "sharing" works, it is probably better to have a catch-all "free social" sharing plugin, and one day full on #ActivityPub integration.

Mastodon v1.6 is live!

☑️ Easier sharing & discovering content across servers
☑️ Improved first-time user experience
☑️ Fresh new W3C standard #ActivityPub
☑️ Better profiles & pinned toots

I saw someone mention #ActivityPub for code reviews, but I am personally interested in issue tracking.

For instance @xmanmonk answered a call I had, and I copied it as a comment (https://allthe.codes/maiki/interi/issues/105#note_565) for reference. Would be dope to just boost that issue and let folks reply directly.

#usecase

@cwebber which is a better canonical link for #ActivityPub: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ or https://activitypub.rocks/ or something else?

One thing I am gonna ask @cwebber about #ActivityPub is the use case for pre-existing sites. Things like blogs, ecommerce, or crowdfunding platforms.

This is a pre-prep question for an interview I was supposed to email Chris about a couple of days ago, but I've had a rough couple days, and this is my obtuse, kinda cute way of mentioning it in public. 😘

Regarding #OStatus, I'd like to provide an opinion. I do this because I just ignore drama until people start having meta-discussions about said drama, and that is happening with OStatus vs. #ActivityPub (good, all you unconcerned folks are caught up).

I have always been a fan of OStatus because it was a meta-protocol. We always talked about it as the duct tape that held together other, better standards.

OStatus as an artifact was always destined to change, it is by design. We are all winning!
