I read their Technology page which isn’t entirely word salad like the front page is. Based. No one company should control your social graph, I’m an advocate of data sovereignty as well on that note. Also, to corporations: Fuck your authority.
Okay, so I really do believe in the Fediverse. I’m working on a really big project in Kotlin that I have the intention of wiring up to AP later on.
Haven’t read it yet but this is facts
ActivityPub wasn’t built with the purpose of having a “killer app” in mind. That’s centralization logic. The point is for all apps to be able to talk to each other regardless of where on the network and maintaining the ability to do so seamelessly without the user having to think too much about it.
Mastodon should be able to talk to Lemmy. Lemmy should be able to talk to Pixelfed. Et cetera. I don’t believe XMPP had the same purpose, matter of fact I remember it just being a subpar IM protocol iirc, and I don’t see social media going by the wayside the way IM clients of the past did.
They went too far left. I left the plantation and god forbid ActivityPub just be left as a sacred place.
25 here. Sick and fucking tired of people calling my gen “digital natives”
When they do go that route, I propose the community fork the standard and continue work that way. We already do this with code.
Regardless of what anyone thinks about politics, nothing good will come by letting them in. I hope all current instances defederate, I know mine will.
Ah yes, that explains the log4j fiasco
