If you’ve been following the Bridgy and Mastodon drama, consider that many Mastodon users don’t want a bridge that allows Bluesky to federate with Mastodon, but they do want Bluesky to support ActivityPub so Bluesky can… also federate with Mastodon. 😜

@kissane IME there’s a mismatch between Fediverse as a collection of standards and tech and Fediverse as culture and norms- the insistence that Threads implementing ActivityPub “isn’t fediverse” is culture-over-tech, or bridging being antithetical etc. it’s gonna keep rearing its head as the people who desire the scale/ergo of twitter etc try to use/extend fediverse tech to do so and clash with the people who are very happy with the current scale/reach and see it as a feature.

@aaronpk I am certainly not the first one who noticed that the former champion of use-your-own-server and #Indieweb has as his three links only corporate monosilos, right?
Not sure what you mean by "as his three links" since there are 4 links in my ActivityPub profile, the first of which is my blog. I'm probably going to remove Twitter soon since I haven't even posted there since June. I do run my own git server, but not for public stuff. -

I started a FEP to define an #OAuth 2.0 profile for the #ActivityPub API (“c2s”):
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/162
I’d appreciate any feedback or support. I’ve begun implementing this profile, and I think it’s testing out pretty well.
I see the proposal has just been merged and now links out to a socialhub link? Where is the best place to continue discussing this? I have ... a lot of feedback as you might imagine.

@evan no, I mean, I don't see why it'd make sense to define a custom profile of OAuth 2.0 when OIDC exists and we could just use it?
What does defining a custom profile really give us? Our authentication needs can't be that unique, can they?
there is no "just use" OIDC, it would still require defining a profile. Plus I don't think most ActivityPub implementations benefit from most of the features OIDC brings. -
One core difference between the fediverse and the AT Protocol seems to be that AT decouples many key building blocks – identity, moderation, ranking algorithms, even your own data to some degree – from your server. The fediverse, on the other hand, ties them all to your server and sees that as a desirable feature.
The fediverse says, choose a server that you identify with as an individual, with admins who moderate according to your values, and a local timeline that you like reading.
The AT Protocol, on the other hand says sure, choose all of those, but independently from your server, and keep those choices if/when you migrate to a new server.
Interestingly, I don’t think much of this is really driven by ActivityPub itself except identity. Third party AP moderation tools could easily be built, and probably have been. Same with clients that rank your feed with custom algorithms. This seems like more of a cultural difference, a difference of values and philosophy about how social networking should work.

Ignore this post, I am just testing some #ActivityPub hashtag stuff

I'm glad to see that BlueSky supports custom domains! I have zero interest in sitting on a username in the bluesky namespace. Setting it up was roughly the same as pointing your own domain to a hosting provider, and a lot easier than Mastodon/ActivityPub!

A bit confused as to how it interacts with #fediverse - rival paradigms? Interoperable? Just totally different things? #indieweb
I don't know what you'd call it, but I built ActivityPub support directly into my website so I can exist on the Fediverse from my own site. -

Is your website stack open-source? I'm keen to implement something more than just webfinger on mine and am looking for inspiration.
It's not, but mostly because it's pretty messy. I do have this which is a standalone ActivityPub project meant to integrate into other sites, needs some updates though. https://github.com/aaronpk/Nautilus -

@aaronpk , is this a "real" Mastodon instance just for you or a custom implementation?
It's ActivityPub built into my own website
