Oh yes, I remember the old days when I had to talk them out of using that crap

No way! It's a small world, isn't it? Perhaps it's time to leave twitter too and finally move to the open network?

@mikedev @nutomic @pfefferle @renchap @julian @pfefferle @nutomic That was a different time. Since then WordPress has joined the Fediverse, and now Ghost is about to join as well. I think the ability to display rich content may soon become a serious competitive advantage.

Mitra v2.17.0 has been released. From now on these announcements will be published from @mitra account

@dave Standard types and properties are preferable (interop with existing software is easier that way). I'd use Audio type for podcasts and attachment property and Document type for transcripts. Collection type can be used for all kinds of collections.

If you need something that standard ActivityStreams vocabulary doesn't provide, Fediverse Enchancement Proposals is a good way to propose an extension to ActivityPub developer community.

I know that @dev attempted to start a group for working on this issue: https://mediaformat.org/wordress-activitypub/article-working-group/

@julian @pfefferle @pfefferle @nutomic Mastodon already can display long Note content (it adds "Read more" at the end), I think it is reasonable to do the same for Article and other types of objects.

>The question is how, but this WG is not at the point where we start throwing around decrees and making up standards

Just talk to developers. There's an open issue (and an open pull request): https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/24081. This proposal has not been formally rejected, perhaps @renchap could provide some feedback?

@grindhold Do you have an instance where I can do some federation tests?

@Hyolobrika The "progress" is not evenly distributed, so moving to another country will probably be enough. Also, the article indicates that there might be a technical solution:

>Recently, he completed a project sponsored by the US Army Research Office, designing strategies to introduce noise and false positives into channel state information to make it harder for unauthorized devices to spy.

@Hyolobrika You can't. But you still have time to develop an exit strategy.

>enshittification that has undermined Webauthn

As if no one could have seen it coming.

Meanwhile, browser extensions are working just fine.

@gunnm @monero Yet another attack on open source software developers and a wake up call for everyone, especially bitcoiners. If they will fail to save these guys, Bitcoin will be officially over.

@nimda @frogzone Oh, you were right. I completely forgot that mitra has different limits for remote and local emojis. The reason for this is Mastodon, which at the time didn't support emojis larger than 50KB. Maybe they increased it since then, but anyway, the limit should not be hard-coded. I'll address that in the next release.

@lsn This is a WriteFreely instance, so in theory it can federate with us, but it runs a very old version of software which doesn't work properly. And there is no way to contact admin, as far as I can tell

@nimda @frogzone Did you have a lower limit in your config.yaml? The default is 500KB

@johnonolan Great news!

>There are multiple ways of supporting gated access to content in ActivityPub, and we're going to do our best to create a seamless experience both for publishers and for readers.

I've built an ActivityPub powered content subscription service called Mitra. Right now it uses direct messages to distribute subscriber-only posts. This method is compatible with most Fediverse micro-blogging services, but doesn't scale, so I'm doing research on federated private groups. I also wrote (and implemented) a specification for federated payments: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/0837/fep-0837.md

Looking forward to working together on standards for subscription services

@juanro49 You can change the authentication_token_lifetime parameter in your mitra configuration file.

I'm wondering if there is an undocumented token renewal mechanism that everyone uses. Mastodon API docs doesn't say anything about it, but isn't issuing long-living tokens considered a bad practice?

@mint ideological non-compliance -> under-representation in mainstream media

Who's next? Substack? Twitter?

@wjmaggos Another protocol is not necessary. ActivityPub already supports groups, only E2EE is missing, but that will change soon
