The best example of why #ActivityPub isn't just #RSS is podcasting. Podcasts don't support boosts and thus are not social media imo, even though the medium is a great example of decentralized media. But I can't easily recommend a great episode to others, or see the episodes most recommended by the people I follow. I want the great work to go viral.
how do we fix that?
On Discourse and Decentralisation
The Community Group for #ActivityPub is drafting an open letter calling for respect and collaboration between the people working on the different protocols in the open social web.
I'm signing the letter, and with it, I have some thoughts regarding discourse, decentralisation and why I think this space matters.

Das Fediverse im Block-Editor
Mit dem ActivityPub-Plugin gibt es im Block-Editor eine neue Fediverse-Vorschau und diverse Optionen, mit denen Sie das Verhalten des Beitrags im Fediverse kontrollieren können.
Außerdem lernen Sie vier neue Blöcke kennen, die das Plugin zur Verbindung von WordPress und Fediverse bereitstellt.

@JulianOliver Personally, I hate CCP. CCP is one of the closest bullies to Malaysia. CCP denies the international law regarding Malaysia's sovereignty over their EEZ, thus CCP has sent many waves of military as reported in the news. About the SoundCloud self-hosted alternatives, I think FunkWhale and Navidrome are good options. FunkWhale is capable of ActivityPub federation, and Navidrome has the easiest UI.

We're excited to share an update on #Fedify's development! While we're actively working on Fedify 1.9 in the main branch, we've also begun preparations for Fedify 2.0 in the next branch.
Before you get too excited about revolutionary new features, we want to set clear expectations: Fedify 2.0 will primarily focus on cleaning up technical debt that we couldn't address due to backward compatibility constraints. This means removing deprecated APIs and making breaking changes that will ultimately result in a cleaner, more maintainable codebase. Think of it as a major housekeeping release—necessary work that will make Fedify better in the long run.
Some of the planned improvements include adding readonly modifiers throughout our types and interfaces to better enforce our immutability-by-default principle, implementing our own RFC 6570 URI Template library for symmetric expansion and pattern matching, and various CLI tool migrations to our new Optique framework for better cross-runtime support. While the majority of changes will be about refinement rather than revolution, these updates will strengthen Fedify's foundation and improve interoperability across the #fediverse. You can track all planned changes in detail by checking out the Fedify 2.0 milestone on our GitHub repository.

Er det nokre utvikarar der ute med peiling på #Mastodon som veit kva slags ekstra krav Mastodon har på toppen av #ActivityPub?
Eg har ei statisk side som dei fleste verktøy kan hente informasjon frå, men Mastodon hentar ikkje informasjonen. Mistenker at Mastodon er streng på content-type, noko eg ikkje kan sette sjølv på Github Pages.
The Laravel ActivityPub package I'm currently writing for Loops brings a lot of benefits like improved test coverage, custom Activity support, modular (opt-in) features/extensions and extensive logging for debugging.
Will make it a lot easier to implement FEPs like Follower Sync, without impacting existing package users.
Best of all, it's batteries included, meaning you can add ActivityPub support to a Laravel project in a few minutes ✨
...this whole sub-thread is a fallout of the Eugen Rochko x Mike Masnick kerfuffle, so it is fascinating that they both agree on the whole of Threads being part of the Fediverse.
The implications of this particular agreement for this debate are equally fascinating.

and
2. https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/115068714378786789
I infer that Eugen Rochko considers the entire (400 million) user base of Threads as part of the Fediverse.
Not that Rochko’s opinion is law, but...

What a pale of nonsense. Decetraluzed web it is ActivityPub, p2p , self hosting to name a few. It is not yet there, but it is growing. Because fuck you big tech, that's why.
