I think it's a good time to explain how we see @badgefed and @fediprofile, how they work together, and how #badges can use #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse.

I think it's a good time to explain how we see @badgefed and @fediprofile, how they work together, and how #badges can use #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse.
Also how this can help communities outside the fediverse!
This is a quick overview of the architecture and ideas behind it. 🧵 1/
(thanks @johannab for the ask ...)

@mapache A big sticking point for me has been that students will usually use an institution's Moodle for a few years then leave, so it cant be their wallet. But your separation of BadgeFed as an issuer and Fediprofile as a wallet makes this much clearer.

@marxjohnson I am planning a moodle plugin for badgefed!

@mapache Fantastic, please post about it here when it happens

@mapache this is interesting, though I have one question before I get too much more interested: is there any genAI involved in these projects at all?
I have tried to use AI/LLMs but it just sucks for ActivityPub implementations and blazer that I rather do it myself, it is more efficient, accurate and fun.
I do use it for some for CSS stuff where I am no expert. If someone wants to collab for frontend I would greatly appreciate it.

And all of this to answer @johannab question.

For communities, this becomes even more powerful.
A community can run its own Fediprofile hub.
Profiles can include:
• social links
• badges
• gamification
• streaks
• recognitionsAll tied to the community.
--
Example: a hiking community.
Imagine a fediprofile hub for mountain hikers where members can:
• show their trail badges
• track hiking streaks
• share gear links
• display summit achievementsCombine that with a badge issuer and maybe a #Mastodon and/or #PixelFed server for the community.
Now you have a decentralized ecosystem.
Yes pls sign me up!!!!
Question: can we authenticate with other Activity Pub credentials (Bonfire, for example), or are we limited to Mastodon?
Here's my aim for the near future:
1. AP fediverse platform possibly a stack of a few bespoke apps (Bonfire, Vernissage, Emissary/Atlas, maybe Peertube...)
2. If not SSO, then one login for all our sandbox spaces.
3. One (pseudonymous permitted) profile for community members (I was pondering this when FediProfile popped up on the TL!!!) -

3. One (pseudonymous permitted) profile for community members (I was pondering this when FediProfile popped up on the TL!!!)And 4) since FediProfile led me back to BadgeFed and recalling that you introduced it last year ... a way for the community to "verify" roles in the community (yes, this is a "moderator", yes this is a "tech support' account...)
4 a) Bonus if the verification can also be "yes I belong to <climate project X in ontario, canada> without a need to dox someone and get inappropriate levels of info when just looking to connect online. -
Oh I don't know - I'm aiming to start one.
Here's the high-level current motivation: @samnabi and the https://onemillionneighbours.ca project have put together a project aiming to address something I've been observing for years, that local civic engagement efforts suffer because *online* connectivity scatters people and their connections to the global similar-but-walled-off tech giant "social Media" spaces.
I want a way for local citizens to engage *locally* and in 3D.

@theraccoonbytes @mapache @samnabi
a large part of the point I'm trying to make is that we can do this within borders, with a commitment to local hosting and local support, but with access to the global base of fediverse software and collaborative reach globally.
But my vision for "verification" is more like the financial industry's "KYC" - an identifyable org and/or certified professional vouches for someone by an auditable process. Badgefed + Fediprofile seems a great digital schema for it
