I am Not Reading Your Manifestos on a Micro-Blogging Platform
I really can’t bring myself to scroll through your ten-part thread on a microblogging implementation of the fediverse. There is a reason why the default character limit of Mastodon is 500 characters. See this? This is a blog post via WordPress. You can see it on the fediverse because it’s federated. It is one long post. Not a billion replies to myself stitched together.
If you’re going to write a thousand-plus words split into 500-character chunks, why not just start a blog? You know, the kind of place that’s actually meant for long-form content? By breaking your thoughts up across posts, you’re actually creating entropy, which is the opposite of information, because responses will be scattered across chunks and some responses will get boosted and others not or some might be federated and others not. That is objectively noisy which inversely affects the information that you are trying to communicate.
If you’re going to make people scroll through your unsolicited manifesto one awkward chunk at a time, at least think about putting it somewhere that’s designed for actual reading. A blog. A real blog. With paragraphs, some structure, and maybe even a heading or two.
Ghost and WordPress support federation. Hell, NodeBB even supports federation. Microblogging is meant to imitate how conversations flow. I sure hope you people don’t actually speak like you microblog in real life. If you do, that means you do not actually know how to speak to people. Rather, your social interactions involve randomly launching into monologues as if you were a main character in a television show.
Honestly, I’m not going to read your thread, because if you cannot be bothered to post long-form content in a blog, I cannot be bothered to read it.

As @hongminhee recently posted about
A new drawing community called https://oeee.cafe (@oeee_cafe) made by @jihyeok and others just implemented #ActivityPub and joined the #fediverse. It's exciting to see niche art focused software using these tools and techniques to share in our weird network we have here.

#HopeGarden build stage is kinda finished (there's always room for more gabions), now working on tours & workshops with new calendar https://lu.ma/hopegarden & streamlining website https://hopegarden.uk Also posting photos on #PixelFed & realised that thanks to magic of #ActivityPub I can view them here on #Mastodon! https://pixelfed.social/hopegarden This is so cool.

Excited to share some great news from the #creative community! Oeee Cafe, a fantastic oekaki #drawing platform, just added #ActivityPub support today. This means all the amazing artwork being created there can now be shared and discovered across the #fediverse, which is such a wonderful step toward connecting creative communities.
Big shoutout to my friend @jihyeok for building this platform and bringing it to the fediverse. It's always inspiring to see developers creating spaces for artists and then opening them up to the broader federated community. If you're into digital art or just appreciate seeing creative work, definitely worth checking out what people are sharing from Oeee Cafe on your timeline now. You can find me there at @hongminhee if you want to connect!

For the past couple of days I've been hard at work writing documentation in the attempt to decrease the friction for developers that try #GoActivityPub for their applications.
I am of a mind to pay some #Go developers in the near future to do a weekend's worth of programming into trying to use the library in projects, so we can iron out potential issues with the use of the library itself and the documentation.
Anyone interested?

@gme Absolutely, militant is one word, I tend to use religious. But, yeah, I saw a situation spiral that could’ve gotten someone jailed b/c of nasty #Fediverse behaviour and them not understanding how #ActivityPub works. It also brings to mind when someone was freaking out over “algorithms” even though the person arguing for them was stating on a client level, which wouldn’t impact the person freaking out at all 😒
Regarding Misskey that’s actually a really cool feature and I hope to see more services tastefully take advantage of that

Just set up a #SkyBridge folks can use to bridge their #Bluesky accounts to #Mastodon / #ActivityPub apps. It's free & public for now, may go private if it starts to use up too many server resources.
