And, hey, if you look at my blog (http://code.sgo.to) you'll probably paint me a knowledge graph kind of person. That is, I probably have an unbiased agenda, but I don't think knowledge graph technologies should be applied to every single problem in the world (e.g. this).

What if I told you that on Mastodon, you can verify yourself, by yourself, for free... 🤫 https://twitter.com/JPFosterson/status/1588957399208976385

hahaha sorry! Your instance did things sliiiightly different than others, so I was having to test my code in production, which resulted in sending you a lot of these!

I have no idea what this thing is. Just signed up to park my name.
heh, well parking your name doesn't really mean anything because there are instances on domains all over the place and you're certainly not going to register on each one! Tho now that I think about it, you should be able to use your own domain for this: https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub -

I realized that looking at your profile, where you have an @ your own server. This ain’t your grandfather’s social network, is it.
Yup, forget about picking an instance, bring your own! #OwnYourData

if mastodon is doing a piss poor job of conveying this then that is not all these people's fault, but the practical impact is that multiple verified twitter users with large audiences are lying about how mastodon works lol
I've always said the local timeline model of Mastodon was a bad idea. It's directly led to this idea of having to join a particular instance because of the community, and all the fallout from that around trusting the instance admin and such. Those concerns should be separate. -

it's interesting but feels far too coarse-grained. maybe masto needs something like public groups of related accounts so you can use those as a foothold instead
Absolutely. There's some in-progress work on this, but I haven't been following it too closely. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19059
Sadly the state of things is that until Mastodon itself implements this, it's pretty much a stalled idea in the larger Fediverse. -

I wish they would just do away with it. 2x a year and everything gets messed up…
We're so close! Almost got rid of it this year, I'm holding out hope that next November will be the last time change. -
Now *this* is a blue checkmark I would pay $8 for:

I was just noodling on this. I don’t think I’m the right person to build it, but I wonder what an “RSS feed reader + discussion graph” looks like
- subscribe to RSS
- “reply” to posts by blogging on your own site with a meta tag
- readers use the meta tag to thread discussion
This is basically what we're doing with Webmentions. It's an old post, but surprisingly relevant all of a sudden: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/06/30/11/your-first-webmention -

Yeah, I love the spirit of WebMentions but the implementation is too high a bar for many (most?) site owners. But maybe a man investment in UX / tooling makes more sense than trying something net new.
Yeah, frankly I don't think an alternative would end up being significantly simpler anyway once you start accounting for the things that are already established in the current ecosystem. There are tools and services now, and libraries, but we always need more!

Agreed! The CMS plugins, eg WordPress's and Drupal's, don't. For even less technical people, we recommend http://micro.blog. Choosing and registering a domain is as easy as choosing a username on Twitter, DNS is automated and invisible (!), webmention support is built in.

Did a thing this weekend... took a snapshot of all the verified users as of friday night (413,159 accounts).
Proof Of Original Verification:

Originally Verified // PYOV
So we can give you $8 for a verified checkmark that people will only see if they look it up at your website? I mean I'd rather give you $8 than this bird site but I could also just keep the $8 -

@postmodern @jerry @postmodern @jerry I just gave it a quick glance so there’s likely more beneath the surface, but it looks like the W3C group that maintains ActivityPub has had sporadic activity over the last year. If you have time and ideas, most standards groups are usually pretty excited to get more volunteers.
Officially, the W3C working group is shut down now. Unofficially, Mastodon itself has been driving most of the work lately and is the de-facto spec because everyone has to do whatever they build.
In practice this means you only need to convince Mastodon to make changes and cross your fingers that the few other implementations will follow. -
