I'll have to write a down-to-earth explanation of Mastodon Protocol (which != #ActivityPub) just so I can understand it myself, then use it to implement #Fediverse Login!

ActivityPub was clearly designed by Architecture Astronauts (a googleable term coined by Joel Spolsky). -

That feels like it's throwing the W3C team who built AP under the bus a bit.🫣

@BeAware because #ActivityPub is worthless except in the context of a complete system, and it doesn't even specify that complete system, the way that HTTP+HTML=the web.
BTW I'm on Pleroma. It's another implementation of the Mastodon protocol. -

@BeAware yes, an alternate implementation of Mastodon's protocol, of which ActivityPub is just one part. -

@immibis it specifically only uses Mastodon's code? Never knew.
