Ein Tipp für den #ÖRR:

In die Zukunft investieren und auf #Activitypub setzen, statt auf geschlossene und gewinnorientierte Social Media Plattformen.

Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using

We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!

Are you ready for ?

Don't get me wrong, I love Mastodon and everything it's done for the fediverse

That being said, I don't want Loops to become the only short form video platform, or the only well known one

I'm working with @stux on his own short vid platform called #GoldFish and PeerTube to enable seamless interop

We're stronger and better together

There is no reason NOT to work with "competitors" because when you have the right mindset and goals:

You build for the people, and listen wisely.

I wonder if Tumblr actually joined the Fediverse is many people will have the same hatread towards it as Threads.

I guess Tumblr hasn't taken users data and been caught out for it. So maybe not.

@samxavia i think the justification is that ai is already scraping the info so they want to make a buck letting them have easier access

@celeste Yeah just sucks that users data are being taking like always. Guess people just don't care about how much data companies take from them these days

Serious question for those that this is relevant to: if you don't understand how ActivityPub works, even a little bit, why do you feel the need to have opinions on how it should work?

Isn't this backwards as hell? Shouldn't you try to understand how something works, then ask why it is that way and if it's intentional?

Too many people here have this strange opinion that they have some sort of privacy, even if their profile/posts are set to "public".

This is just simply not true. We're on the internet. There's over 20,000 Fedi instances and there's just no way to manually parse them to make sure there's no "bad actors" using your "public" posts for whatever the hell they want.

We already see this happening with things like NewsMast which is aiming to be a "news" app where their users don't have to login or register to a Fediverse server, yet they will see posts by Fediverse users from bigger instances based on "categories".

Maybe do some research about how the protocol works and how it's VERY opt-out to the core, before you have opinions on it. Just saying....

This issue is a good illustration of like… 60% of my problems with SWICG https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/429 #ActivityPub

The recent incidents have hilighted to me one of my personal struggles with #ActivityPub

My first questions when developing a writeable API are 1. who can call this endpoint 2. what does the payload accepted by this endpoint look like?

AP is largely silent on (1) and is, for lack of a better term, actively hostile to (2).

Then I look at it from a database side and I try to draw a line between the use case and the schema and connect that to the payload.

Which again, AP is hostile toward

Who can see my posts? I am super curious as to how far this #activitypub can travel? Learning the #fediverse is interesting but a tad confusing for the laypeople like me. If anyone has an analogy do share. Visualizations help. #mastodon #server #instances

@janettespeyer I just saw this post from kbin, a Reddit alternative on the fediverse.

Threads, il nuovo social network text-based rivale di Twitter si dovrebbe distinguere per la federazione e la privacy

Oltre alle caratteristiche innovative, come la "federazione" e l'utilizzo del protocollo , solleva importanti questioni riguardo alla privacy e ai rischi associati all'iscrizione. Esaminiamo a fondo gli aspetti che definiscono Threads e il suo impatto sulle esperienze digitali degli utenti.

Wondering how hard it would be to build the absolute minimum single user ActivePub instance.

OK, I've got a question for developers. I'm working on an extended example for the O'Reilly Media book I'm writing, focusing on the federation protocol. I'm going to cover using HTTP Signature, handling and sending the important set of Activity types defined in the AP spec (Follow, Create, Add, ...).

Great to see the ActivtyPub Plugin continue on a fast development timeline:

The WordPress ActivityPub plugin has been updated to version 2.0. The major feature of the release is better comment federation. Comments are now properly threaded, which makes it much easier to follow and understand threads where people are replying to each other. Comments are now also bidirectionally federated. Creator @pfefferle explains:

“When you respond to comments from the fediverse on your blog, they will now be federated. This allows you to finally engage in (threaded) communication back and forth directly from the comment section of your blog!”

#LinkML may be a nice way to bridge #JSON-only and #LinkedData-based #ActivityPub

With LinkML schema's are written in YAML and can then be converted in a wide range of different formats.

Very interesting. I added it to the #SocialHub topic pondering whether AP should be considered JSON-first..

"ActivityPub and ATProto break in different ways.
is built around URLs and can "socialise" more or less anything on the Web, which is great, but they don't touch the underlying substrate—either you run your own server or you…are at the mercy of an admin.
, on its side, provides a good initial foundation for an extensible designed around user agency and credible exit.
…you can be guaranteed to be able to take your content elsewhere."
