NodeBB-ActivityPub Bridge Test Instance

2.5 hours later and the general trend seems to be:- there isn’t a clear semantic definition for “isQuoteOf” when considering “A isQuoteOf B”- it is at best a form of citation in full- we might put it in the generic grab-bag properties of attachment or tag, but it ultimately represents *something* which differs on a case-by-case basis (so a quote post might also be a response/inReplyTo, or something else entirely)

@trwnh @AT1ST @oblomov the challenge is definitely much greater in a federated system.In our case the caches aren’t the end all be-all and we have quite mature caching at multiple layers. The edge and end user caching is more a UX improvement (particularly for reducing latency) rather than to protect our servers. Expensive things should have their own backend caching and invalidation logic.I see what you’re saying though.

@julian Well, there are object types that Mastodon couldn't even handle if it wanted to. For example, it doesn't have anything to handle an Event-type object with. I don't think Gargron would build an event calendar into Mastodon just for Event-type objects, not unless enough people pester him to do just that.#FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #Mastodon

@dodatus_dranapat@activitypub.academy hello there! (that should be a blob)

@cwebber @fantazo @mxjaygrant hate crime? i sure do!

@natalie i think it can be done but not by most people’s definitions of “microblogging”. the missing piece is context. does that make it magically transmogrify into a forum thread idk, but this is the web so it’s ok to blur those lines a bit. i just hate that everything is oversimplified but some types of complexity are okay but not the kinds that are actually useful (and align with reality).the metamodel is busted, you’re right

@jenniferplusplus @helge my understanding of it is that bsky goes about it from the other end, they don't link from the post to its likes, they expect some appview to backlink the likes to the post. if that's your model then sure, you can create a new lexicon for emojireacts and stuff them in a new repo and... still expect the appview to stitch this together?for example, here's a post: https://atproto-browser.vercel.app/at/did:plc:tt7idshnkaltasf5cd6irpwj/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb4d4dkwo22ehow many likes does it have?

@natalie anyway if i have to read about a sales funnel one more time i’m going to commit war crimes in minecraft

it’s more pithy to use the textual content to tell someone to “delete your account” but the extra effort shows your dedication to the craft

@trwnh IP is really just ActivityPub for packets.

@oblomov i guess /encyclopedia works but it's less catchy compared to /kb

@djsundog thank you for indulging my linguistic nerdery

@ThaMunsta @raindrops_and_roses it's been fine for me since the women's fight. Crossing my fingers for the Tyson fight.

@AltCode Or I replace my unicycle wheel with a vinyl from one of their artists and ride around, letting it get slowly destroyed.That'll teach 'em!

@pdh_sedlr @the_spc that's probably why there's threads integrating that will help people know about it.

@smitten oh HTML is not the primary focus here, i’m thinking about it from a knowledge or description view. like RDF or link relations. “A isQuoteOf B” where “isQuoteOf” is currently not meaningfully defined. can it ever be? or is a “quote post” really just 5 or 6 separate semantic considerations in a trenchcoat (context, audience, notification, attachment, preview, and so on)

@cwebber @aaronpk i... may or may not have something i'm working on, personally, that does basically this all i'll say is that Hugo recently released a feature for "content adapters", which let you dynamically "add pages" to your static site even if they're pulled from elsewhere... where "elsewhere" can mean "local json data files" or "live http api". it's pretty cool from my toying around with it. maybe by end-of-year i can show or tell a bit more...

@hornblende god i wish we had control over what we could show on our own goddamn profiles but i guess this just reinforces the reality that you don’t have any ownership or control in “social media platforms”. it’s not about empowering usersthe thing is that corposoc removed customization because it didn’t fit their business needs. the so-called open alternatives do not question the design decisions they unwittingly inherit in their quest for “familiarity”

@djsundog @sungo i think instead of "groups" i'd prefer honest-to-god forums

Wouldn't use store bought. Just planted this year's cucumber crop a few days ago, and should be making some more in a few weeks. Love kimchi. Haven't yet had much luck growing cabbage though. We have a serious slug/snail problem and they even find their way into copper-lined planting beds.
