Gregory's Server@grishka I fucking love blurhash, glad to hear you are implementing it there. Everytime I am on a site that doesn't have it I miss it.
Can't wait for real groups! Have you made much progress on writing any FEPs?

 @grishka interested to hear about your plans with groups, too. The #activitypub watchlist has some group apps, but I guess there's no consensus about best way to implement them in interoperable ways. https://git.feneas.org/feneas/fediverse/-/wikis/watchlist-for-activitypub-apps There's (lotsa) open #socialhub discussion about it.  @humanetech @liaizon yeah and I myself started some of those discussions too. To make it worse, there's no consensus on what a group is, conceptually. I envision them the way they are in VK (obviously) minus the ability to post on behalf of the group, but other people have other ideas. But I guess someone needs to be the first? I mean if I release something that sucks, there's no way I won't be made aware of that fact immediately 😅 Theoretical discussions are boring. Prototypes are exciting. > Theoretical discussions are boring. Prototypes are exciting. Yes, at this stage that might be best way to go forward. I have future plans with groups myself. First in a relatively 'simple' community concept, and later still to implement #Sociocracy circles. (If I ever get myself to do deep work again, instead of being all over the place 😂 ) @humanetech @liaizon VKontakte (ВКонтакте, literally InTouch/InContact), the most popular social network in Russia and ex-USSR, most similar to Facebook. I worked there from 2011 to 2016 on the Android app. I quit shortly after it was acquired by Mail.Ru Group. @grishka an interesting read, and interesting company to have worked for in the earlier days. @humanetech @grishka @liaizon I don't know what #activitypub stands for. Anyone feeling to give a brief intro or links?  @damko @humanetech @grishka ActivityPub is the suite of “standards” that makes your server able to talk to my server. It’s a whole bunch of different agreements in vocabulary and grammar and design of server and client software. @liaizon @damko @humanetech it's for distributed social media servers what SMTP is for email. |
@liaizon uh, well, it's not for the web UI, that's already blazingly fast enough — JS is mostly optional and I serve downscaled webp images to browsers that aren't Safari. They're really tiny. That's the whole purpose of imgproxy actually, I stored 4 sizes in 2 formats before.
I'm including blurhash in AP objects and will be returning it in the API as well when I'll have one.
No, haven't started working on FEPs yet.
