Mastodon is compatible with litepub by the fact that litepub is a subset of the specific variant of activitypub that Mastodon chose to use.

But I think litepub has better security attributes, because of the strong requirement for using pointers (capability IRIs) to content not controlled by the local instance.

Mastodon security posture is that LDS is good enough because Delete messages can be redistributed along the DAG (the acyclic graph of peers of peers all the way down known as the fediverse) to ensure object integrity. but, the reality is pushing state around is harmful. instead, litepub's requirement for capability IRIs solves the problem cleanly.

there are some edgecases involving tracking what instances have received an object, but it's not impossible to solve those.

I strongly believe based on real world experience that simpler protocols are more robust. LDS method is more complex than the methods proposed in litepub...

If any mastodon devs are looking for design help and would like a hand from the original designer of blogger.com, who recently redesigned the WordPress.com Reader, and wrote an early book on the design of community spaces online, let me know because I can put you in touch with him.
Because he’s me. Hi. Let’s talk.

I rage-quit Twitter at the end of November in 2016. As someone who has worked in online communities for close to 20 years, I couldn’t stand being a member of a community where the people in charge cared so very little for their users. We worked very hard at Flickr to make sure that people were safe. Your company isn’t the government and you can delete any account at any time for any reason. If you create a community, it’s your jobs to ensure that it’s safe for all.

A bonus with the show-notes approach, is that — with or without app support, with or without real=payment standardization — it’s still a working link. Creators could use it *today*, before a single app supports it.

I asked a bunch of podcasters a few years ago if they'd participate in a shared-payment plan in Overcast.

The responses were universally tepid: podcasters don't want middlemen added to their revenue streams or the relationship they have with their listeners.
