@Kye I bet if someone keeps putting "neo" in front of libertarian they'll finally end up with a new term they can define and nobody will take it over for sure this time
@Kye There were two APconfs, 2019 and 2020. There have been quite a number of events since, (Berlin Fediverse Day, Fediform, etc) but yes, I do think it's true that the fediverse shouldn't underestimate the amount of energy is in the ATmosphere right now
if people does things on ap, "woah cool"
if you do stuff in ap that deviates from what mastodon does (shit like invisible mentions or wafrn tags), people will start talking shit about you
GNU MediaGoblin was founded by @cwebber. Inspired by GNU social reviving development of the StatusNet project abandoned by Identi.ca, they developed a vision of enabling federation features between MediaGoblin services, and between those and services running GNU social, GNU FM, etc. To this end, along with Jessica Tallon (@tsyesika), they got involved with the AP standardisation process, which consumed a lot of their time and organising energy.

Response to MediaGoblin AP issue part 1;
> That's the clarity I was looking for, thanks. I've seen cases where conflict-avoidant maintainers say 'submit a patch' when what they mean is; 'this is an anti-goal but I don't want you to try to convince me otherwise, so I'll pretend to be open to a patch'. Clearly this is not you, which is a very good thing : )

Sadly I have neither the time or the skills. But if I hear from a dev wanting to gain experience with AP, and keen to brush up their Python, I will suggest adapting SH's federation library to work with MG as a project.
Thanks for the frank exchange, and keep up the good work.

I continue to blather about it occasionally since last summer's FediCon (my first speaking opp in ... many years). I'm more on the social-observational, how do we build communities side than technical. Toss some stuff up at johannab.ca when I can, though admittedly so far this year, school and my butt are kindof overwhelming my plans to be blogging my way through a Bonfire sandbox.
@deadsuperhero if I meet any I'll let you know
@gotofritz I don't think so. But it's a deeper topic.
