Link at end but I am amused by the replies and discourse to this article for the bafflement regarding the existance of small Fedi, Fedi users that don’t want to interact with the whole of users. Small Fedi has people that honestly just want to be left the fuck alone. The more tech minded of the Fedi, big Fedi, as described here, is astonished such a thing could exist and my sides are splitting from them realizing not everybody wants to talk to you. https://wedistribute.org/2025/03/website-league-island-networks/ #Fediverse #ActivityPub #privacy

이番(번)에 @lqez 님의 《우리의 코드를 찾아서》에 出演(출연)하여 #페디버스, #ActivityPub, #Fedify, #Hollo에 關(관)해 이야기를 나눴습니다. Fedify와 Hollo의 開發(개발) 祕話(비화) 같은 게 궁금하시다면 한 番(번) 보셔도 재밌을지도 모르겠습니다. ㅎㅎㅎ

If anyone has enable this, how do I find you? I’d like to try following your blog on here. The social web beta is here https://activitypub.ghost.org/social-web-beta/ #Ghost #ActivityPub #Fediverse

But Jay is literally the Caesar of #bluesky rn. Like they did with the Trump-Musk AI video, the relay can shut down anything at any time. I know everybody says this will change, but that's not where they are today.

It is where the fedi has always been. But we don't have the media attention that comes with VC investment etc. I know I should stop bitching but shouldn't people who are pushing misleading PR be responded to with facts and better arguments?

I'm having fun testing out Ghost's Social Web beta. You can follow, like, reply, repost and interact with my blog directly with this handle:

@index

Can’t wait for this to come to self-hosted Ghost blogs so I can give it a test drive. #activitypub

The social web beta is here https://activitypub.ghost.org/social-web-beta/?ref=beta-announcements-newsletter

Ghost has made ActivityPub available to all of its Pro subscribers.

Interesting how they name and describe it:

"Social Web - y/n
Federate your site with ActivityPub to join the world's largest open network"

Who are the finest #community builders in the #activitypub ecosystem, in your opinion?

#ATproto exists because VCs couldn't figure out how to cash in on #ActivityPub. that's it.

please stop telling me you can fix him.

@rudyfraser.com @atprotocol.dev

but it's not decentralized. if their relay has a problem, the whole network breaks. that's not how email (or #ActivityPub) works.

The UK Online Safety Act comes into effect today.

Its onerous duties may cause many small sites, blogs and fedi instances to shut down or geoblock UK users when faced with potential fines and penalties.

This won't keep children safe. It'll benefit large platforms like Facebook and X that are laying waste to content moderation.

The Venn diagram of the protocol wars between #activitypub and #atproto and thinking of a day that #Twitter will stop being the benchmark of success for decentralized social media platforms.

I am creating a #ActivityPub minimalistic implementation of a badge system similar to Credly, built using #dotnet and leveraging the #Fediverse

I have issued a first badge, the idea is to decentralize the verification systems, and allow organizations to self-certify. It is incredible that organizations like Microsoft or Non-Profits pay thousands of dollars to companies like Pearson to just provide "verified" badges. Similar to mastodons installed in social-dot-something, thinkg of badges<dot> mozilla<dot>com , certifications<dot>myschooldistrict<dot>com. Or even a podcast emitting a badge for its guests, with the verification in the domain.

ActivityPub already offers a secure way to sign artifacts and interact between actors. The fediverse already have people with profiles, a social graph as @mike says, ready to use. Think of how LetsEncrypt disrupted that market of few actors selling certificates for websites.

I have a functional poc,
@fediverse is not a mastodon, pledora or blog, it is an actor in a badge system, but you can follow it in Mastodon. Its badges will show in #mastodon but they are not notes or articles. If you want to learn more, follow me, I will be sharing the progress here. Or follow the github project here: https://github.com/tryvocalcat/activitypub-badges

Who wants a badge of early adopter?

Sigo sin poder usar las app de #mastodon para controlar e interactuar desde @curiosabiologia. El sitio alvarobayon.com está en #wordpress, tiene activado el plugin #activityPub y he instalado el “enable mastodon app” (EMA)

Esta semana he intentado cacharrear un poco más, desactivando todos los plugin salvo los dos necesarios. Y nada.

¿Alguien tiene alguna idea antes de intentar preguntar en el foro del EMA?

Saddling small sites with the same duties as huge platforms means many will shut down in a hammer blow to net plurality.

We'll be left with the Sophie’s choice of monopoly services; the incubators of online harms.

URGENT: The UK government must change the Online Safety Act to protect safe, non-commercial blogs, forums and fediverse.
