I would like it especially if men would tell me how activitypub works. I think I'd have a harder time understanding it otherwise and we've got to give dudes their chance to speak up for once

@cwebber Activitypub packets of ramen noodles traveling through a system of tubes. It’s simple. And delicious!

@cwebber is solicited mansplaining still mansplaining?

honk honk I'm a truck *brrrrr*

@hllizi @cwebber Allow me to explain, you see the way mainsplai-

Wait...

@hllizi @cwebber Maybe I'm missing like an inside joke or something, but how is answering a straightforward question as requested "mansplaining"?

David Bremner

@cwebber Sorry, you'll have to wait until Mansplain Monday. I don't make the rules.

@cwebber Alright. Happy to help. First of all, your spelling is wrong. There should be a space like so: activity pub. To prevent any confusion, you may also use “pub o' activity”.

Second, contrary to the name, this is in fact a pub where nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all. The needle returns to start of the song and we all sing along like before.

That's about it. Now, about my consulting fee...

@ilyaz @cwebber i think you mean Mastodon/ActivityPub, since Mastodon is in fact built on components from...

@cwebber I could. But others have already done so and done well. w3.org/TR/activitypub/ describes the protocol. The introduction section provides a good description of how the protocol works.

@DoctorDNS @cwebber Indeed. I feel like the editors on that article really helped the contents flow so they can be better understood. 😉

@zepfhyr @DoctorDNS @cwebber I'm pretty, and impressed, that this Christine Lemmer-Webber person was an author and an editor on this document.

i personally find it really hard sometimes to edit my own text

@DoctorDNS @cwebber

Yeah, she should just read the spec. I guess she doesn't even know who wrote it.
I have only learned about this ActivityPub thing last week but I am happy to explain it in detail.

@cwebber Are you familiar with a T-shirt cannon? It's like that, but for JSON. :flan_guns:​

Christine Lemmer-Webber

please boost this message across the network as far as you can I think it's really about time someone explained activitypub to me

Christine Lemmer-Webber

okay I'm trying to piece this together

it's like email, but for the web (why didn't they just call it webmail?? lol!)

Christine Lemmer-Webber

why are there so many hot people from :transgender_flag:​ on here what country is that I wanna go there is that rude? lol

@cwebber :transgender_flag:? You’re in it now. *Neo wakes up sequence*

@cwebber I think you might be eligible for an E2 visa!

@quinn @cwebber I'm thinking she could probably get an O1.

Christine Lemmer-Webber

@blaine @quinn did you just mix two units of measurement? Move over space and time, now we've got computations in mass and time

@cwebber @quinn this is just how we do it in Web10D. 💁

@cwebber come to transylvania i'm big fan

jbauer

@cwebber Oh hey I'm a men so I'm super qualified to explain!!

You have it right there with your email explanation and I agree, ActivityPub should have been called WebMail. I really don't know why they didn't think of that!

Also :transgender_flag: is the flag of Transnistria, a wonderful microstate fighting for recognition and independence from Moldova.

Man aging with style

@cwebber Yeah, those Transylvanian folks are the best
