I honestly sincerely hope #Bluesky 's astroturfing backfires and sinks that platform so that other #ATprotocol platforms can take its place. Ironically, I am not a fan of how much people believe #Activitypub is #Mastodon, either. I am not a fan of either platform, ironically. That's the joke.

Muting the word "activitypub" on bluesky and muting the word "atproto" in mastodon so I can live in blissful ignorance
Two Approaches to Solving the "Quiet Fediverse" Problem: Conversation Backfilling Mechanisms

What if posts made on fedi platforms like pixelfed and vernissage that place text below the image added a property to their #activitypub representation so other platforms injesting those posts knew to render them how they were intended?
I’ll leave the protocol wars alone for now. I’ve come to the realisation that people will different opinions and agendas. No need to waste energy. There’s Android fans v iOS fans, PS v Xbox and it’s all dumb yet it exists. But, there are those that exist in the middle and those that care to advance the Open Social Web for everyone can exist on that plane. Let’s build a community of likeminded people and put in the work for the benefit of the everyday folks. That’s significantly more productive than wasting time arguing and debating. I mostly feel frustrated at the disinformation, disregard, disrespect and misinformation as it’s a slap in the face to those putting in great work, work such as Blacksky. As I’ve said I want a creative, expressive and relatively safe space for the masses especially Black and Brown folks, I will direct my attention to doing that and attempt to focus on ignoring the noise. #ActivityPub #ATProto #Blacksky #opensocialweb #atmosphere #fediverse #bluesky
This site is self-hosted. I haven’t tried it with WordPress . com. From my understanding of the ActivityPub plugin, it works the best with self-hosted sites. There has been an influx of BlueSky astroturfing trolls, so I’ve been using it to keep them off of my blog. It has gotten fucking insane since Bluesky’s update. I wonder if the two are correlated.

Statement on discourse about #ActivityPub and AT Protocol
One of the many things that pisses me off about the protocol wars l, which mostly comes from the #ActivityPub side is the way they delegitimise #Blacksky

There's a small peanut gallery on ActivityPub driven by a small number of people mad ATProto is taking off. They sound *exactly* like now-forgotten OStatus grognards who were mad about ActivityPub. Their agitating gives a worse impression of inter-community relations if you don't look too close.
When you actually look at the people doing the coolest work on both sides you see everyone's getting along and nerding out about protocols and the future of technology.
The consensus there is pretty much that there's room for different notions and the way forward is collaboration.

Ran into an odd issue trying to map fields to an ActivityPub activity in the Drupal setup. I can't find a field for body. I want that to be my content but its just not showing up. Weird.
Después de esto, llego incluso a concluir que, si queremos preservar la #Privacidad la industria del dato debe desaparecer.
Dicho esto se discute sobre el modelo descentralizado, hablando de la interoperabilidad, los protocolos abiertos como #ActivityPub y el importantísimo papel del usuario en este cambio de rumbo.
