Evan Prodromou on ActivityPub & OpenEarth
Getting down and nerdy with ActivityPub and the Fediverse. This interview with @evan on FLOSS Weekly was great. Thanks Evan, @dsearls and @jp_bennett #activitypub #flossweekly #twit #fediverse
Gregg (and Dana Ware and Alexandre Teodoresco 🎪) thanks so much for the sober and real talk about the challenges of creating experiences in virtual spaces (I won’t say the M word). As you all mentioned the distribution network isn’t there yet and it is key that any experience created in a virtual space be accessible by any device…headset, mobile, laptop, etc.
I also can’t thank you enough for addressing failure. Too many of these talks gloss over the hard part and only celebrate the end result. All of the lessons (and reasons for success) come from the failure along the way and we should never shy away from talking about it.
Looking forward to what you all do in the near future.
Fediverse and Indieweb discussion on The Well
Now that the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress is mature I’m going to attempt to use only my WordPress based site as my gateway to the Fediverse. The Friends plugin should make this feasible. I’m also hoping to eventually use the Indiepass app for reading/writing. Don’t quite have the reading part sorted out yet tho. I may follow you again from my social.vaughnhannon.com domain. Don’t be alarmed. #fediverse #wordpress #activitypub #indiepass #indieweb
Automattic is at it again! https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/24/23928685/automattic-texts-acquisition-universal-messaging #messaging #opensource
Really great reminder from the EFF about protecting yourself in the Fediverse (and on the internet in general). Remember, Mastodon (and many other ActivityPub based services) are a public square and should be treated as such! https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/fbi-seizure-mastodon-server-wakeup-call-fediverse-users-and-hosts-protect-their
Auto-beer Update
Finally updated my Zapier zap that connectis Untappd to WordPress. Thanks to Khurt at https://islandinthenet.com/manual-until-it-hurts/ for detailing the process and making it semi-easy. Ha. Now if I can just get Zapier to change the post type to “Drink” it will be perfect-ish. #untappd #zapier #indieweb
Oooo. I just enabled my Pixelfed portfolio. Nice feature @dansup
Not that you asked…but I’m not leaving Twitter…yet. Just reducing my exposure. As usual I post to social.vaughnhannon.com first and I’ll be hanging on Mastodon as it is delightful over there. Either way you can follow me on any Fediverse platform either @vaughn or @vaughn@m.socialyeti.club See ya there. #mastodon #activitypub #fediverse
