an interesting thread on Bluesky about why people are choosing to build on #ATProto instead of #ActivityPub

@julian you don't want to platform people who are unwelcoming to devs? I think the issue is that a lot of the devs who show up are also totally oblivious to how their stuff effects the network and people who use it and the implications of their code on peoples lives. So I don't think it's as easy as just us being more welcoming to builders either sadly

Next we have @django presenting some ideas about moving the ActivityPub API C2S forward

@mkljczk I like this idea. Maybe you write up a slightly official looking proposal? I know that @fedicat has been trying to implement like every known api endpoint on the fedi in their client app so they probably have some good ideas as to what we could enhance or standardize in this area

enjoyed seeing this in the description of a new fediverse client for `snac`

@gfsc I was excited about this project from this thread until you suggested that people get in touch via Discord! That totally obliterates all your points in the previous post. "Hate having to give personal details to find out about events? Get involved by giving your ID to Discord to help solve the problem!"

@sun being able to do something and there being a clear path to the thing in practice are two different things.

I don't think people here realized yet how much development has sped up in the "atmosphere*"

I fear for the future of the fediverse if we don't get our shit together in some key areas. The way the lexicon system over there allows interoperability between distinct types of data and interface is really showing now that the developer ecosystem is picking up.

a warm welcome fediverse welcome to El Raconet, a hackerspace in Alicante, Spain

Thank the heavens for all the falafel cooks of Berlin keeping this city fed. This city would be unbearable without their tureless support. #teşekkürler #شكرًا #متشکرم

@hongminhee are you there?

@julian @stefan I will continue my slow fight against this monstrous complexity of a symbol. It doesn't work at small sizes and without the rainbow it's not recognizable at all

I totally forgot that Pleroma started as a GNU social front end

Stuck on a very slow city bus on my way to FOSDEM day 2, running late now to one of the most exciting fediverse meetups and sad I will miss the beginning.

@uriel there isnt an implementation of any protocol that has all these properties, which is one reason why Christine has been working on Spritely Goblins this whole time

liveblogging is hard lol
