#askmasto #askmastodon #askfedi What do you think are features that must be or should be included in #ActivityPub in the future?Additional info:For example, "liking" and "sharing" are part of the specification.Note that e.g. Mastodon implements more than just the ActivityPub specification. So the question is also what features should be implemented by all instances on the Fediverse (incl. e.g. PeerTube).FYI: Current ActivityPub specification:https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/boosts welcome

To avoid any confusion: I'm not affiliated with ActivityPub or any project implementing it or about to implement it, now or in near the future.

@Zergling_man It is! It actually evolved from other projects, but now the specification is actively supported by the W3C.

@Zergling_man @floppy ActivityPub is a W3C standard next to html and css!

@Zergling_man To emphasise @liaizon's point, here is an a list of all W3C official "Recommendations":https://www.w3.org/TR/?status=recFrom W3C's FAQ: https://www.w3.org/standards/faqQ: What does "Web standard" mean? What is a "Recommendation"?A: W3C publishes documents that define Web technologies. These documents follow a process designed to promote consensus, fairness, public accountability, and quality. At the end of this process, W3C publishes Recommendations, which are considered Web standards.

@floppy Moving accounts between instances is essential for network reliability and sustainability. I'd love to see it as a standard feature.

@dudenas I agree.In such a context I also like to point out that "nomadic identity" might be an interesting feature in that regard. Hubzilla is providing such a feature for example.https://zotlabs.org/page/hubzilla/hubzilla-projectIMO nomadic identities are a significant step towards decentralisation and some other related virtues (those that you mentioned, also data privacy, ownership, control, and other things).

@floppy To add.. because the network is non-commercial (if not anti-commercial, which is a weak spot in my view), the burden of reliability cannot be put on server hosts, which are already doing a lot for the community for free. You cannot make hosts liable for your data, server uptime and basically for nothing at all. They are free to shutdown their servers whenever they are tired of caring. That means, all responsibility for the content is left to the user. So the user must have tools to easily backup and move his data.
