@linc This is fantastic, and more than enough for me to get my head around the basic ideas. Thank you!

I'll try to get up to speed on what you've been doing, and then see how it might fit with my own work. Would you say this could work for "non-forum" software, too, such as a regular Mastodon server?

@benpate "Non-forum" yes, but not really Masto. The fediverse/AP is organized around *individual* data sovereignty, which is great, but is solving portability at scale using a universally-recognized *identity*. You can move YOUR account, but not everyone else's, because context is global.

Nitro Porter is trying to solve *collective* data sovereignty — as a group, what do we want to do with our shared data — which doesn't make sense outside *private* context.

I am not sure Mastodon translates.

@christin that is even more impressive. I’ll look forward to exploring this more!

This looks fantastic. And it is something the Fediverse needs very much. Thank you for making this!

May I ask: how do you connect to all of these different applications? Do they all support the Mastodon API? Or have you implemented several APIs to make this work?

@christin

I mean, I just did every search query as an actor.. and this isn’t much different.

Every *potential* number is ready to go, and just gets a db entry (and actual behavior) once someone interacts with it.

Fascinating idea! And stuff like this is going to spark many more..

Would you Follow the book in order to see when it’s back on the shelf?

@benpate @julian@activitypub.space @smallcircles In case you haven't come across it yet, https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2024/03/12/activitypub/ will be a fun read!

Activitypub micropayments idea:
what if instead of some digital token like Taler or Monero, I send a digital “cheque” instead, which is a signed payment intent, signed with the other actor’s e.g. Liberapay pubkey.

At the end of the month, the other person can take all these micropayment cheques and prove to liberapay that other people owe you money, and everything is settled in one transaction.

Cool idea. Apple does something similar with their App Store payments. You buy a bunch of things and they hold the charges for a day or two, then charge it all at once.

It would be more difficult in a decentralized environment, though, if I’m aggregating charges for/from many different people.
