@feff@comicscamp.club @julian@activitypub.space @gnilleps@mastodon.art Node.JS and I are NOT friends. HOWEVER ... there's a docker container thankfully. But I'm checking with Julian to find out the recommended install method. This is why I NEVER got into webdev. I'd ask friends how to make anything and the answer was always "Use this framework for X and use this other framework for Y." Me: "What about Z?" Them: "Oh you need 10 more frameworks for that! SEE! IT'S EASY!"

the proper use of context mappings is to transform ambiguous json into unambiguous json(ld). not to force everyone to use ambiguous json in exactly the same way that you use it.this is also made worse by the fact that the as2 vocab is sometimes defined in a way that is so "bad" that it is *impossible* to express using a single term! case in point: take as:closed. it can be both an object (Object or Link), or a literal (datetime or boolean). how do you model that cleanly?

Furry.lgbt was almost instantly harassed off of fedi for launching a blocklist.Jorts.horse has an 88% negative rating on TBS, because two queer people on that queer instance decided to stand up against a queerphobic harassment campaign launched against furry.lgbt on the #Fediblock hashtag.I was never going to like furry.lgbt's blocklist. I was never going to like any version of Fedicate that wasn't opt-in.But you can't pretend what's happening here isn't happening here.

@tchambers just because someone *can* register a protocol handler, does not mean that they *will* or *have* already done so. the vast majority of the population will never register a protocol handler. your custom links will be useless to them.

Lemmy rules!It seriously fucking does!

One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint. AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it. I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one. #ATProto #ATProtocol #fedidev

Does anyone know if #Fediverse integration works between this space and #Threads?
