@rabble You might be interested in reading about some recent efforts I’ve written about. A lot of people are very passionate about figuring out how to fill in those gaps, and there’s some fascinating movements happening in the background.

@ricmac @evanprodromou @rabble @timbray @osma Hey, thanks for the write-up! Pretty wild to get mentioned next to so many superstars!

One other piece I wrote about is also worth considering: Nomadic Identity. https://wedistribute.org/2024/03/activitypub-nomadic-identity/

The SocialCG also has a data portability initiative that is studying this problem from the perspective of identity: https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-data-portability/

Finally, it’s worth noting that ActivityPub has an often-ignored secondary API that’s literally half the spec, for Client to Server interactions. It’s under-utilized, but in fact could be the basis of Single Sign-On for ActivityPub: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#client-to-server-interactions

@LALegault @TheAdmin You can just block any user or bridge domain yourself (and there are really only 2 generic bridges). They're just like a normal fediverse instance for that matter.

And use the normal reporting tools for your admin to see any actual violations of your server rules, so they can also do the same that they would to any fediverse accounts or domains.

I'm gonna start calling Bluesky 'Wayland' since it's supposed to replace X but it's missing half the features and kinda sucks and most of the people who advocate for it do so for political-emotional rather than technical reasons

@anders

I don't have your answer, but I would like tell you that Garage and MinIO are S3 storage application available on Yunohost. https://yunohost.org

May be this can help you about S3.

I run a small #plan9 grid at home. This is my drawterm on my Linux PC connected to a Pi4 as a CPU server. It is viewing documents from my local PC, and I connected to a faster CPU in a window to play one of the NES games I wrote.

@cwebber Real ActivityPub has never been tried

There is also something which Bluesky gets right which the fediverse does not. I mentioned that Bluesky uses decentralization *techniques*, and the most important of those is content-addressing. This allows content to exist even when a server goes down.

This is a great decision and I have advocated that the fediverse do so as well. In fact several years ago I wrote a demo in @spritely's early days showing off how one could build a content-addressed ActivityPub in a spec-compatible way.

The more I learn about cryptography, the more I think Alice and Bob should probably just talk in person.

This is so true
