General Discussion

@davew @suzannealdrich I'm glad you like that. I think people get worried about it a lot. It's not their job to strategize which social network services to use; it's our job to get them wired up.

Thanks dominik@lostfocus.de! That's exactly what I'm trying to do — to showcase the power of ActivityPub through a forum interface.

@ikuturso @mastodonmigration @mackuba if you're EU based doing a query from here to each server to determine ASNs might be an interesting research project, maybe you'll get different results?

@andypiper @deadsuperhero I'm really wanting all the tribalism to stop, because it really doesn't help anyone, it just invokes anger and negativity.I still write occasionally, when I have the capacity for it.

@turist683 hearsay to you maybe, but I know @carbonated_estrogen personally, have been talking to them about the threats, and have seen the screenshots of those threats.As an admin, I also have access to what the accusing party (who I still haven't named because I want to *avoid* any retaliation against them) sent me in their application.As someone who doesn't know me, I don't blame you for being unconvinced by my word, but for a lot of people, my word is enough.Remember, I was only asking that if someone witnessed anyone doxxing @carbonated_estrogen, or inciting dogpiling against her, that they report it and not engage. I'm not sure what evidence you need to believe that's a reasonable request.@thisismissem

eblu yeah, I'm very sex worker positive, and I'm queer myself, so I definitely don't want to see these labels used for harm. It'll probably take some amount of work to come up with an initial set of labels, but we basically support things like "same as this other label", "broader than this other label" and "narrower than this other label", which pulling in a graph like that results in some rather powerful capabilities. Labels also have full descriptions, and all properties are translatable, here's how that looks in my FIRES project: https://hachyderm.io/[thisismissem](/user/thisismissem%40activitypub.space)/114755378976572686

@jackwilliambell @thisismissem you are conflating two things. The existence of global feeds that aggregate world wide != a *single* global feed managed in a non-democratic manner.But signing off from this thread now.

thisismissem looks like a bug, I'll manually categorise

@Mark_Harbinger @lippyduck Yep, just walk away.

stefan@stefanbohacek.online any plans for when ActivityPub can legally buy a drink?

@evan @finner https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ says nothing about the `replies` collection, and even if it did, there is not currently a good way to follow a collection (or to do so recursively for such replies collections). The closest we have in-spec is inbox forwarding (which sadly doesn't get implemented by most fedi softwares!) but there's still the issue in maintaining a consistent and complete audience for who should get which notifications (and how to add or remove yourself to such audiences).
