    This whole Federated idea used in Mastodon is pretty neat.

    Now imagine applying this to your social media profile page.

    Except, with the ability to customize it however you want.

    Add sub-pages.

    Put your own images anywhere, and link to whatever you like.

    All through some kind of language, all on your own server or paid service, accessible by anyone.

    I think I'm on to something here. This could be the killer app for the Internet.

    Everyone should start blogging again. Own your own site. Visit all your friends' sites. Bring back the artisan, hand-crafted Web. Sure, it's a little more work, but it's worth it. You don't even need to stop using social media! It's a "yes, and" situation, not a "no, but" one.

    @aaronpk Oh I don't mean the specifics of the spec, just that the concept of it never took off and I've never heard of anybody really having a problem with how things are now.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah I guess I just mean that part of the spec didn't offer Mastodon any real benefits over what it already had, whereas the S2S part offered the ability to do private/friends-only accounts which OStatus never had a good solution for. At this point it might make more sense to try to formalize the Mastodon API as a standard.

    Just read a story about all the new social networks popping up/off right now and decided to look at Hive. The stark contrast between what they're doing and Mastodon is really something. Hive feels like a cheap knock-off of every network you already hate. Bad content suggestions, no interesting discourse, tons of people posting for clout... and just a terrible vibe. No thanks.

    I’m sure they’ve ran the numbers. Assuming they’re negligible because…
    - apple buyers are “determined” (unlikely to churn)
    - buyers in these windows are more likely to be waiting for sale to drop
    - the “FOMO” of the store being down makes the revival stronger

    My son 🙋🏽‍♂️was SO cute today, he asked me "dad are clouds candy?" 😍 I told him they were water. 💦 Then he asked "dad, what's Earth's defense system?" and then I remembered I don't have a son and he asked again his eyes now obsidian black "what is the defense system father"

    It was a mistake that ActivityPub Client-to-Server never took off and I think we'll pay for it one day.

    Right now one person calls the shots for the client APIs of multiple projects because all the projects want to be compatible with the biggest server implementation. This feels wrong, but I don't know what the solution is at this point.
    Aaron Parecki
    Frankly I don't think that part of the spec was well thought out, and I also disagree with the fundamentals of how it works. I suspect it didn't take off because other people feel the same.

    The fact that Mastodon dictates the default posting API isn't good, but also isn't surprising, and it's definitely something I would like to see change! I'm pretty sure the reason that happened was because people were already writing Mastodon clients before Mastodon adopted ActivityPub in the first place.

    @aaronpk it's a bit of an oddity in England. There are *very* few places you are allowed to fly, and you aren't allowed to fly in public spaces at all without a license. So to build up your practice hours to get a license is an exercise in law breaking 😅

    Aaron Parecki
    Interesting, that's not what I read last month when I went to London. I was able to take the test online to get my Operator ID, then it was just a matter of finding an area that didn't have local restrictions (some parks, central London, etc)
