I've started reading up on #ActivityPub. So far I had been assuming that the "@user@host" scheme was baked into the protocol, but apparently it isn't, and it's perfectly capable of integrating user-less domains into the Fediverse.
Have I misread it? (I admit I only did surface level reading so far.)
If I haven't, wouldn't this mean that instances could (theoretically) also just act as hosting providers for #IndieWeb style domain-as-identity accounts?

You're not wrong. The problem is the ActivityPub spec by itself doesn't give you enough to implement a working system, and Mastodon filled in the rest with decisions they made on their own.

So what actually exists is mostly a Mastodon-specific protocol built on the ActivityPub framework.

god the immediate switch from the right mocking multiple female journalists for saying they felt unsafe AFTER BEING SWATTED MULTIPLE TIMES to “the left is posting assassination coordinates” is something else

Can’t handle this much free speech.

Can’t criticize a billionaire. I can’t post Mastodon links. Can’t post information public info about FAA flights. Nothing happens when I report death threats and rape threats. And I’m assuming my account will get banned any second now.

@aaronpk I don't think Mastodon is going to ban you for posting to Mastodon. (Are you auto-copying tweets? I gave up doing that, the social contexts are too different.)

The contexts haven't been too different for me up until recently, so I might have to rethink that. Right now I post everything on my website first, and my website sends it out via ActivityPub as well as to Twitter. It isn't really an "auto-copying" thing as much as my website is just the central source of truth.

I do always have the option of *not* sending a post to Twitter, but I haven't previously considered ActivityPub a separate "destination" as such.

Let's see if I get banned for linking to my own website, which you can also follow from Mastodon.

I asked it for further experiments. I didn't tell it in advance we're "only pretending" (so the 'remember' is gaslighting I guess 😲)

It was never about free speech. It was always about freeing the right from the consequences for hate speech and advocating for violence while crushing left media. They didn't even try to hide it.

So now @elonmusk has reinstated the accounts of white nationalists, and insurrectionists and Nazis, but is suspending the accounts of prominent journalists without warning or explanation? Absolutely no company should be advertising on this platform.
