#activitypub

Ich glaube das #ActivityPub Plugin für #Wordpress macht wohl gerade eine Pause. Kommentare vom Fediverse landen gerade nicht im Blog. Keine Ahnung warum. Ich habe nichts daran geändert, ein Wordpress Udpate gab es auch nicht und auch sonst hielten sich Updates für Plugins zur Zeit in Grenzen.

Ich glaube ich werfe den ganzen Kram wieder raus. Dann muss ich die Beiträge zwar wieder manuell teilen aber das habe ich ja vorher auch gemacht.

Note that I said "quoted posts", not "quote posts", don't @ me!

After the last WG meeting @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @trwnh@mastodon.social and I chatted a bit about how NodeBB handles quoted posts, but also in relation to quote posts. I thought that it was an interesting chat that merited further discussion; also because some of it was over my head.

When asked how NodeBB handles blockquotes specifically, I replied that blockquotes themselves are rather simple. We set a copy of the text wrapped in <blockquote>.

The rationale is simple: forums typically represent content in a linear fashion, and quoted posts are a handy way to reinforce subcontext within a topic. A typical topic/thread could have many separate discussions all happening together (aka thread drift), so quotes help others know what you're responding to. We don't have special handling or references to our blockquotes because there is a history in forums of edited blockquotes.

Perhaps you want to have a block quote and add some emphasis?

It's also better netiquette (god, that term is old) to trim down the quote to only the relevant parts.

Another upside is that a copy-paste of a post preserves that post to history. That can be useful if the quoted user tries to edit their post later, etc.

vis-a-vis the concept of "quote posts", which I take to mean an embedded post within a post, allowing for replies, likes, etc. How that is represented via ActivityPub is probably detailed in some FEP, but NodeBB doesn't implement that yet. It's a more complicated mechanism that requires a lot more thinking through, and to be honest, we haven't had the need for that in the 10+ years we've been building NodeBB.

did you know that the #ActivityPub plugin for #WordPress supports "content warnings"?

Almost finished writing my #OggCamp talk.

I'll be showing you how to quickly and easily build your own #ActivityPub based social network which can communicate with the #Fediverse.

Übrigens, zum Thema #ActivityPub und so...

Ich sehe hier #Mastodon-Instanzen, die "Add"- und "Remove"-Aktivitäten föderieren, die keine "id" enthalten...

Das mag meine Software aktuell nicht... und irgendwo meine ich mich dunkel zu erinnern, daß ein "id"-Feld eigentlich Pflicht wäre... grübel...

After getting to try the #Snac activity pub server developed by @grunfink on bsd.cafe thanks @stefano , I'm kind of tempted to spin up my own instance. Anyone here other than Stefano that runs their own instance ? Please share you pro's and con's plus any workarounds you have come up with.
Also how are you viewing / posting on mobile ? Are you just sticking with web or using the likes of #Tusky ?

If you're an advanced user with programming skills who is wanting to do custom stuff with Fediverse connections (or even wanting to create your own Fedi platform), you might want to check out the activitypub.rocks SocialHub forum:

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks

I'm not a software developer so I can't help with these topics, but enough people have asked that it seemed a good idea to give the forum a mention!

The minutes from yesterday's Forum and Threaded Discussions Task Force monthly meeting can be found at this Google Docs link

Apologies in advance if I misrepresented anybody or missed any crucial bits of information.

Of note:

• Darius Kazemi (@darius@friend.camp) reports that Hometown already supports improved conversion of non-note items (like as:Article) into statuses, and that this serves as a working proof-of-concept towards getting this merged upstream into Mastodon proper.


• We discussed briefly the Mastodon PR approval process and how it sometimes drives away contributions
  
  
  
  • Darius emphasized the importance of showing real user support to facilitate the merging of pull requests.
  
  
  
  

• Julian proposed consolidating various FEPs (7888, 400e, 171b) to publish a unified recommendation.


• Evan (@evan@cosocial.ca) objected to the use of the "context" property in FEP 7888, advocating for a new vocabulary instead.


• The discussion included differing views on the utility of the context property and its historical usage.


• Darius utilized his data observatory (TBD) data set to hopefully prove that context is not a properly currently seeing any usage.

• Darius, representing the Applied Social Media Lab, proposed organizing physical meetings to enhance interoperability in the fediverse.


• He will provide a blog post detailing the ActivityPub Data Observatory and related goals.

• A new task force will focus on protocol-level issues within ActivityPub, including proper content warnings and labeling.


• Meetings are tentatively scheduled for the second Tuesday of each month (starting November), with a call for input on scheduling.
