  • I’m still on Twitter, but I blog at bitsplitting.org, indiestack.com, blog.punkitup.com, and red-sweater.com/blog/. For starters.

    If you don’t have at least one blog on a domain that you own, you’re not really “on the internet.”

    No, there’s a trash folder, same as calendar
    Aaron Parecki
    There's no "sort by date deleted" in the trash tho 😉

    @danielpunkass @manton It's been a long-time coming and we're still experimenting with the post list query for Micropub, but it'd be great if you guys could take a glance at the current discussions and let us know if there is anything missing.

    Twitter has decided its a safe space for bigotry and hatred..

    This doesn’t mean anyone else has to use it, so:

    • I deleted all my tweets & unfollowed all
    • I removed twitter syndication from my micropub endpoint, nanopub
    • I’ll be working harder at writing here.

    #1 Query for supported vocabulary

    Aaron Parecki

    As of a few weeks ago, Quill now supports this extension. If the server returns a list of supported vocabulary, Quill disables the links to any interfaces that use unsupported vocabularies. This should help reduce the confusion when micro.blog users use Quill, since now they won't end up on an interface that fails to make a micro.blog post.

    Just to clarify I'm here because Twitter is bad. Bitcoin is basically adult men trading beanie babies. Don't toot me. (Do people say don't toot me here? I hope so.)

    @aaronpk Yeah I am working off those, currently at the IRC/Discord stage. I got the stuff in the blog posts working but weirdly I'm having problems where Mastodon likes my keypair signing for most things except for an "Accept" follow message. Even though it's the same keypair and code. (Messy reference code would be great, even if you just emailed me a zip or something)

    Aaron Parecki
    haha okay! I will unapologetically send you a pile of code, with the only documentation being the inline comments! 😆

    @aaronpk oh awesome. Can you share the code with me? I am writing my own extremely stripped down server that is meant for bots *only*, so it lets you create new accounts, make/delete posts, and it accepts follow requests, and that's basically it! (also allows the creation of new accounts via API because bots) Anyway, another dirt-simple reference implementation would be a huge help since there are not good "here is what ActivityPub messages should look like" resources I can find

    Aaron Parecki
    My site's source code isn't public, but I might be able to throw the files up just as samples.

    I started off by reading this post https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/ as well as the followup, https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/how-to-make-friends-and-verify-requests/

    But ultimately those only got me so far, I had to eventually hop in the IRC channel and ask Mastodon and other developers about some of the details. Even the ActivityPub spec doesn't tell you enough to make it work right now. I wish it was simpler!

    @aaronpk Ah nice. Are you using something homegrown or Pleroma or is there another ActivityPub compliant thing out there I haven't encountered?

    Aaron Parecki
    Totally homegrown, I decided to see what it would take to write as little code as possible to interoperate.

    There are a few other alternatives out there right now. This is a fun site that tracks instances and different projects: https://the-federation.info

    @aaronpk Haha so says another self-hosted instance-of-one user :)

    As an aside, do you experience weird caching things? I do think most beginners should join a populated server because otherwise they are going to be seeing a lot of seemingly-blank profile pages when they click through to profiles of people who are mentioned that their instance hasn't interacted with before
