I fear for the future of the fediverse if we don't get our shit together in some key areas. The way the lexicon system over there allows interoperability between distinct types of data and interface is really showing now that the developer ecosystem is picking up.
*The network comprised of different stuff that uses AT Proto
@liaizon I absolutely agree. I think the client-first development environment for ATProto makes this kind of work extremely emergent.
As @tsyesika said at FOSDEM in the Social Web Devroom, the ActivityPub social API ("C2S") is our equivalent to this programming interface. We need to get it kickstarted so we can build interesting social networking applications without having to build the server side, delivery, queuing, etc.

@liaizon @thisismissem @laurenshof it's because FEPs aren't standards and the actual standards are not allowed to change
@jenniferplusplus @thisismissem @laurenshof ouch... so with a combination of these two things, what would need to change to get you psyched about participating in the standardization of all these under-standardized edges?

@pfefferle @evan @liaizon @tsyesika I was just going to say we have a meeting tomorrow!

I genuinely don't know. Lexicons?
They provide 2 critical things. One is schemas, which actually support coordination and interoperability. The other is namespacing, which actually avoids collisions and supports efficient filtering. But linked data makes that impossible. -

We're trying to get this going in the SocialCG:
https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-api
I think @django has done great work to evaluate all the different servers. It would be cool to get to a reference server that developers could use.

@evan @liaizon I haven't yet got to evaluating ALL the servers from @smallcircles delightful list, but my list is growing https://github.com/mediaformat/c2s

I've been to some of the Bluesky / ATmosphere conferences.
You are correct that there are former AP people over there (at AT) now.
I talked to a number of them. This (at the following URL) is a common reason I heard for why they switched from AP to AT:

(I am quoting / paraphrasing someone who switched AP to AT. But, I heard others say similar, too.)

Hey, this is great. It is so nice to see the uptick of interest in the #C2S part of #ActivityPub. Very uplifting and gives me hope for the future of #fediverse.
I really liked your #FOSDEM presentation, and thank you for mentioning my humble list. They are just notes atm, but I will try to keep them up-to-date. I just made a bunch of updates..

Would love to hear more on what are the particular plans and goals for your project in the near future?
