@thisismissem

"I don't think that would be accurate at all, in terms of what I presume most might think."

That was in reference to Elena's comment about being viewed as a team player... and nothing else.

As for "my memories failing me...", I was recalling from memory what I read years ago and recollected as Eugen's comments on why he had chosen to work on ActivityPub and Mastodon. I'm not a member of the board, nor do I have access to info on those events.

Can someone please discuss on this ??

For now i use eOS, but i’m affraid that their update will be locked. I think i will have to move to sailfish.

Be careful when you change your rom : remove your google account first.

Some guide badly written on eOS omit that Lock system from google : FRP. Factory Reset Protection, mainly used against thieves but it also make changing rom harder…it wasn’t here before 😒

Not the place to be talking about this. I swear Lemmy is 99.99999% tech talk. This is probably like 1 of 3 places where this is usually not the case.

@benpate One of the reasons we're supporting NodeBB is their adoption of ActivityPub, and @julian is leading efforts around forum-based AP implementations if you want to follow it.

I think interconnectedness is a double-edge sword, so my own work in the community space right now is focused on private community organizing with only very selective feed-based connections.

@elettrona
yes, only Pros, see the ActivityPub Spec. which has exactly the same "addressing" fileds like mail …

@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.

@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

@Kye@tech.lgbt

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

@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

@benpate Sure: https://github.com/prosembler/nitro-porter

My biggest wish for any project is to build in their own tools for recalculating derived data — post counts, point totals, last post in a topic, etc.

Most apps assume you've never used any other platform or that their calculated data could be wrong. It's a huge time sink to "fix" data handling for them in an export.

To add support to Nitro Porter directly, there's a guide in the docs: https://nitroporter.org/develop.html
