The alternative federated protocols seem too complicated. I see a lot about the need for progressive enhancement on the web, but when it comes to communication systems people seem to abandon that requirement. Part of my nostalgia for RSS comes from how easy it was to get started.

If you can’t easily come up with an example, be open to the possibility that what you are thinking of… is not a thing.

This feels like a subtweet 🙃

@aaronpk , is this a "real" Mastodon instance just for you or a custom implementation?

It's ActivityPub built into my own website

If you aggregated some RSS feeds and piped the result into a Mastodon account, would that be the United Federation of Planets?

I predicted this would happen. But the speed and breadth of the purge are still shocking.

Testing the ability to post to my website without sending every post out to my Mastodon followers. If you can see this post, you're either following my website directly, or I broke something.

oh, or you're seeing this on Micro.blog... hmm should I treat that as a separate syndication target for my posts too?

@aaronpk That sounds bad :( If a site implements the spec version of ActivityPub, what are its chances of being feasibly well integrated into the Mastodon part of the Fediverse?

Extremely low, basically zero. You pretty much have to read Mastodon's docs and do interop testing with Mastodon to have any expectation of it working.

The inverse is true too. There's also a lot in ActivityPub that you *don't* need to do to at all to interop with Mastodon and others.
