@mike, As you know, this goes on, and on, and on with platforms that assume they control a monopoly. The only way to avert these disasters is via proper exploitation of loose-coupling that's been delivered on a platter by the #Web. Right now, I am a little concerned about #Mastodon #API overshadowing the #ActivityPub protocol re loose-coupling of clients and severs across the #Fediverse. Most think this is okay, but we've seen this movie before++

@mike,Yep.Open protocols are the ultimate protection against inevitable compromise.Only implementing a part of the #ActivityPub protocol weakens the #Fediverse as an open #SocialMedia collective comprising loosely-coupled clients and servers./cc @Mastodon

@tarkowski,"But he also openly declares that “Benevolent Dictator for Life” is his preferred governance model. Which is worrying, because one person should not be making decisions about a network used by millions of people. And participatory governance should be more than collective petitions to a “benevolent dictator”Isn't required when open standards exist. I don't understand the reluctance re implementing the missing #C2S aspect of #ActivityPub./cc @Gargron @nilaypatel

@tarkowski ,Think about the #Fediverse as you would #Email, where @Mastodon is in the role of #GMAIL which has its own #API — but without support for #IMAP4 (the client-server protocol).IMAP4 enables loose-coupling of email clients and servers (managing inboxes and outboxes).

@steve@technoetic.com,To perform the following actions, in loosely-coupled fashion, across #SocialMedia enclaves (or #DataSpaces) you need an open protocol (what #ActivityPub offers):1. Create Posts (or Notes)2. Follow Post (or Note) Authors3. Like or UnLike a Post 4. Announce (or Boost) a Post5. Delete PostThe collective arising from ActivityPub usage is the #Fediverse.Mastodon has made the above both popular and broadly accepted./cc @tallship@sdf.org @Gargron @peepstein @blaine @atomicpoet

@steve,The @Mastodon and #Fediverse confusion is partly due to the fact that Mastodon only supports the Server-Server aspect of #ActivityPub while using its own #API for Client-Server interactions. Net effect, it has the lions share of clients generally perceived as Fediverse clients -- which is a strategic point of vulnerability over the longterm, IMHO. /cc @tallship @Gargron @peepstein @blaine @atomicpoet

@steve,Yes, Server-Server (#S2S) is handling the federation aspect, but it gets tripped up in the broader sense of loose-coupling of clients and servers which is quite important. The #Fediverse benefits from clients with rich #UI/#UX available to all #ActivityPub servers rather than just @Mastodon -- especially if that's kinda forced via its platform-specific #API.This concern is from experience re #SocialMedia platform dynamics 😀 /cc @tallship @Gargron @peepstein @blaine @atomicpoet

@steve,Yes, I understand that. We (@openlink) have also built a generic #ActivityPub client and server -- hence my concern about why this isn't a @Mastodon option. Why not add consistent ActivityPub protocol support on the #C2S front alongside what exists on the #S2S front. This can all co-exist with the Mastodon native #API thereby increases choice on the front and backend side of thing re the burgeoning #Fediverse 😀 /cc @tallship @Gargron @peepstein @blaine @atomicpoet

@steve,Links to our generic #ActivityPub client related repo.[1] https://github.com/OpenLinkSoftware/ActivityPub -- bash shell script that incorporates python and curl[2] https://github.com/OpenLinkSoftware/Data-Entry-Form-AuthV2 -- Single Page HTML App (basically Javascript for the ActivityPub interactions with input captured via a simple form)/cc @openlink @Mastodon @tallship @Gargron @peepstein @blaine @atomicpoet

@davew @dave @atomicpoet Without a client-server implementation of #ActivityPub transparently integrated into frameworks for developers, the #Fediverse will struggle, IMHO.

@mike ,Why aren't posts from @KingsleyIdehen@flipboard.com visible over here? That #Fediverse handle maps to my profile page at: https://flipboard.com/KingsleyIdehen . I already have the xhv:me cross references working. Conversely, how does Fediverse work from Flipboard?

Does anyone know if #Fediverse integration works between this space and #Threads?

My #Threads handle is @kidehen@threads.net, which actually shows up here but without an ability to actually see any posts.

@Mastodon, What does your message about older posts mean regarding #Fediverse feed processing? I have a new post on #Threads, but it doesn't show up here.

@BeAware, I don't. I am expecting the same result as @the-ai-economy-thekenyeung re placement in the search input field en route to seeing a list of posts from @flipboard . Run that test to fully understand my issue :)

@mike ,Part of my enquiry is obtaining clarity about how one gets federated i.e., did I overlook a step? /cc @jejord
