@nprofile…twh5 i'm skeptical that maximum attention is a measure for value. even if all humans could discover and evaluate universal information in negligible time, you'd still see the wrong things getting attention. it's not purely a distribution problem, and it's not simply perverse incentives, either -- well-meaning people allocate their attention incorrectly all the time.

look, we clearly have different goals here. your goal is to interoperate with the mastodon network. my goal is to publish activities to my website. mastodon doesn't even support all the activities defined in AS2-Vocab. a generic server supports *any* activity, even those not defined by AS2. the network i want to interoperate with isn't mastodon, it's the web.

2026-02-03 23:53:58 GMT

probably the most succinct definition i can give of fascism is "the fetishization of order". that's what it all is rooted in, after all -- some natural order, or law and order, the discarding of any chaos by maintaining national purity against "degeneracy". in reality, chaos is freedom -- the result of free agents acting freely is highly unpredictable. so stability is enforced at the price of freedom, by maintaining a very strong and rigid state which maintains the nation's greatness and glory.

@nprofile…efpk "microblogging" is more about informality and semi-ephemerality, which comes from self-imposed length and formatting limits. the "boost" isn't unique to microblogging, and you don't need activitypub for that either. people share things all the time without activitypub. you could share *anything* with a link if only your software would let you. i could "boost" anything on the web but mastodon won't understand it except for an incredibly tiny subset of the web.

@nprofile…trr6 it's more that this is literally saying bunk like "make sure autocorrect is on" and "call people to make sure they got your email" before launching into "buy a protection plan or power bank or hotspot from tmobile". i think i will do none of those things. also an anime mascot wouldn't encourage people to be superstitious or whatever this is. the only way this could be worse is if they had an actual outage and blamed it on mercury being in retrograde w/o real analysis

@nprofile…3wy7 no, it’s a significant case and we should not normalize a requirement for javascript. https://indieweb.org/js;dr
even with javascript, you can’t just store an identity “forever”. this is part of what i’ve been trying to describe over and over, which is that the double-browser pattern creates this issue due to your seesion only being established within the inner browser. a proper “social web” would operate on the web without having to be virtualized.

2025-06-26 00:24:20 GMT

- reply

@nprofile…3wy7 failure modes:
- you don’t have a protocol handler registered
- you have javascript disabled or unimplemented
- you have multiple accounts or multiple servers
you have two separate components to deal with:
1) authentication: the current website knows who you are, in some limited fashion
2) authorization: the current website triggers an action on your home website
at no point does a custom protocol scheme help with either of these. the problem is more like login or session management

2025-06-25 22:57:52 GMT

- reply

@nprofile…3wy7 if the javascript performs a rewrite, then the resulting link is useless to anyone who hasn’t registered a protocol handler.
(also, no, we can’t and shouldn’t assume javascript as a requirement for a protocol scheme. even if we did, there are still issues with the proposed “back up” as above.)

2025-06-25 11:08:15 GMT

- reply

@nprofile…3wy7 the rewriting is the issue, because there is a very real and very likely chance that there is no way to handle web+ap: links. they might work for you as a visitor to a mastodon-powered website, but the minute you send them to someone else you are necessarily expecting them to have a protocol handler set up, which they almost certainly will not. we want to preserve https: links in almost every single case. inside the fedi web browser, you can intercept clicks instead.

2025-06-25 10:54:29 GMT

- reply

@nprofile…3wy7 @nprofile…5q8k i’m saying that for anyone who doesn’t support the new scheme, which by default is literally everyone, you will be sending them broken links when you copy or share the rewritten web+ap: instead of https: links. you’d be fragmenting “fedi” from “the web”, since your links would only work with the former and not with the latter. you’re also not accounting for multi-account or multi-server cases.
the root cause of the ux issue is the double-browser pattern, inspired by silos.

@nprofile…zwgs unrelated to the thread but somewhat related to what that person was saying: is there a reason why you boost your own self-replies? i think the overwhelming majority of fedi apps will show self-replies in timelines, so boosting yourself just makes your posts show up twice in a row, which is unnecessary. (i can understand doing it on bluesky, because bluesky collapses reply chains to max 3 or so, but fedi largely doesn't do that...)

2025-03-12 22:34:30 GMT

somewhat rhetorical question for #fedidev space: are you trying to build a web of documents or a distributed database? the difference matters more than you may think.

@nprofile…0tle @nprofile…mhq4 Yes, you've said as much in those discussions, but everything you've said depends on this idea of an "actor" that isn't coherent. On one hand, you seem to be arguing that outbox+inbox is all you need to duck-type an actor, but then you don't actually do anything with this concept of an actor except saying that "it can perform activities". So an actor is the range of the `actor` property? Okay, so what? No behaviors depend on this. It is a tautological definition.

2025-02-17 23:33:09 GMT

- reply

@nprofile…0tle @nprofile…mhq4 how is "the entire network built around the idea"? why do you have this idea of an actor that necessarily maps to a user?
from https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#actors we see that:
> ActivityPub does not dictate a specific relationship between "users" and Actors
so why introduce the concept of "observers" and then prevent users from knowing what they are following? Why the avoidance of calling a conversation a Conversation, and why the artificial limitation of not being able to follow one?

@nprofile…9zra yeah ive noticed that fedi people in general tend to be more personable and engaged. there's less of a focus on pure consumption, and no artificial suppression. whereas instagram for example, it's more common that some people never post anything, and even when people do post things, i remember reading instagram only shows new posts to a random 10% of your followers at first? then based on how many people like the post, it decides whether to show the post to the other 90% of your followers

2025-02-02 07:23:33 GMT

i have to conclude that the biggest barrier to entry to the personal web, aside from obtaining access to hosting, is the expectation that every page on a website has to look the same, be styled the same, have the same navigation menu, and so on. it’s just so much easier to write the html for a page once, and then never update it again. the very instant you introduce an expectation of retroactive consistency, you now require a site generator or a build system. that’s a big ask!

federation is just one way to achieve some form of decentralization... but only on one axis. the axis of "service provider choice". what is needed alongside this is a great "unbundling" of services.
in the usa, if you want to sign up for just internet, companies often (more often in the past) force you to bundle in phone and tv service as well. we can think of one of fedi's current problems as the bundling of several services into a single provider -- identity, data, communication.

question mainly to proponents of quote posts, but anyone can respond:
what would you say is the semantic relationship between a “quote post” and “the post being quoted”?
Are there any semantics at all, or is it a generic link/reference? What’s the difference between a “quote” and a “link preview”?
By semantic, I mean “meaning”. What does it mean to “quote” something?
If “quote posts” never existed, how would you design an equivalent?

#TIL the query component of a URI is actually completely opaque. There is no such thing as a "query parameter" defined in any spec that I can find -- the use of ampersands to delimit such "parameters" is purely conventional!
At some point (HTML4), the recommendation was to use *semicolons* instead: https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2
There is even a line of argument that says that query parameters are a misfeature and antipattern. Any "parameter" should be passed along with the request itself, not the URI

idk where to really put this (might turn into a blog post later or something). it's what you might call a "hot take", certainly a heterodox one to some parts of the broader #fediverse community. this is in response to recent discussion on "what do you want to see from AP/AS2 specs" (in context of wg rechartering) mostly devolving into people complaining about JSON-LD and extensibility, some even about namespacing in general (there was a suggestion to use UUID vocab terms. i'm not joking)

@npub12ty…vnqc @npub120z…33r2 there's still a lot to do imo, and you've definitely got too much on your plate rn. but the main point is that there should ideally be a bigger community than just one person who, if they leave or quit or something happens to them, the project grinds to a halt or dies out completely

@npub12ty…vnqc @npub120z…33r2 can we please make this something standard instead of mastodon api? we could use oidc and/or indieauth. the onus should be on mastodon to support those standards too

@npub12ty…vnqc @npub1ucm…3uqd fundamentally what we are trying to encode is trust to use media resources, but imo this is not much different than federating 1000 posts to your server from a remote server

@npub12ty…vnqc permissions don't make sense... why would age or follower-count be a good discriminator? i can see the most common legitimate use-case being for brand new accounts that don't have any followers yet...
