#ActivityPub should have a subject field for all status posts so that a decent reader can list subject lines only. This view would be akin to a mail or news reader layout with a subject pane and a viewer pane. The splayed-out, real-estate gobbling, all-or-nothing, vertical feed view is highly annoying and counter-productive. This default layout forces users to see every word and image in the feed, providing a sensory experience of total information overload. This mobile-first, low-IQ presentation is migraine fuel.

ok I read it. the entire article is about data pods. not a new idea but it is awesome if #ATproto is able to implement it well. we definitely need it. the first mention of it that I recall is #solid by @timbl. #ActivityPub has work to do on this front but it's clear they want to.

Das geht stark in Richtung strategische Entwicklung, bei der im ÖD mit Zeithorizonte von ~5-10 Jahren geplant wird.
Da und bei der Implementierung von #ActivityPub in eigene Publikations- oder #OER-Portale an Hochschulen sehe ich langfristig großes Potenzial (@kingconsult)

I've been working all day today improving, fixing, and enhancing the comments system in Incise.
- Comments are now correctly listed for #ActivityPub fetches
- Comments are now likable from the web UI as well as through #ActivityPub
- Comment replies are now #federated as well
- Comments by remote actors (eg. Mastodon users) liked by Incise users are now #federated
An example of the last point, this comment by @Viditb on @dezinezync's post: https://mastodon.social/@Viditb/115960081954678201/favourites

RE: https://mastodon.social/@taylorlorenz/115970935725482439
El tiktok-drama en Estados Unidos de Trump hace que algunos se pregunten ¿cuáles serían las barreras de #Mastodon que inhiben su preferencia a los usuarios exiliados? ¿Qué se podría hacer para mejorar el producto e incrementar la base de usuarios de una manera positiva?
Mi opinión, que no es humilde ni necesita serlo, es que Mastodon recoje una base de usuarios tecnológicamente alfabetizados, que buscan una ventaja técnica tipo: seguridad, libertad de expresión, moderación y bienestar psicológico, etc. Y todo esto parte del protocolo #activitypub y su estructura #federada. En un mundo regido por personas que nos quieren marear en el consumismo más abyecto (en un capitalismo cada vez más centralizado y fascista), algunas personas elegimos enterarnos de las cosas "nerd" y tomar decisiones al respecto.
No somos una mayoría. No hacemos contenido trend ni fashion para las marcas. No nos subimos el cortisol o la dopamina en el feed.
Quizás el trabajo es educar a los potenciales usuarios que están fuera de Mastodon.

On my way to Brussels for the #EUOpenSourceWeek and #FOSDEM!
Excited to connect with so many inspiring people and dive into conversations about #OpenSource, #FOSS, #DigitalSovereignty, #DigitaleAutonomie, #Mastodon, #ActivityPub and everything in between.
Which sessions or topics should I definitely not miss?

Though there is a risk that the #ActivityPub ecosystem becomes so much of a straggler that #fediverse goes the way of bulletin boards and newsreaders (forever niche), overall the slow organic growth and evolution on the fediverse is a good thing. And #ATProto being the lightning rod for hasty commercial growth-hacking helps keep the ecosystem on that path, able to - in more protected territory - build robust foundations for interoperable standards-based social networking.

@res260 Do you follow the development of #ActivityPub for #WordPress? I see huge potential there. More than 40 % of all websites run on WordPress and they could become part of the Fediverse in a click.

Very interesting post. I myself also have several #ActivityPub channels for different purposes.
I'm very well connected with people through #Snac and #Hubzilla, but #Pixelfed and #Peertube are really just content ‘distributors’.

I love #activitypub but seeing how slow its development is compared to #atproto makes it hard to be excited about it. This goes for both protocol development and ecosystem development.
ATproto has many cool projects popping up every month, the vision is clear and platforms integrate with each other.
I don't see this excitement and work on the ActivityPub side :(

I'd be interested to know what centralized indexing UpScrolled thinks ActivityPub depends on

@videos Démonstration parfaite du #fediverse :
- Je n'ai qu'un seul compte sur une instance Mastodon (comme twitter, enfin tu as vu la vidéo tu sais ce que c'est 😉)
- Je peux suivre cette chaîne peertube depuis mon compte #Mastodon
- Du coup j'ai une nouvelle notif et nouveau post quand une vidéo est postée sur #Peertube par @tisha
- Je peux commenter depuis Mastodon, ca apparaît sur Peertube
- Je mets en favori sur Mastodon, ca apparaît comme un like sur Peertube
- Je peux commenter sur le post Mastodon, ca apparaît comme un commentaire sur Peertube
En gros c'est comme si tous les réseaux sociaux arrêtaient de se faire de la concurrence, et se mettaient à fonctionner ensemble tout en donnant (vraiment) le pouvoir à ses utilisateurs, c'est super pratique! Merci #activitypub !
