Gregory's ServerI 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

   @hllizi yes. (In case you're not in on the joke, look at the names of the creators here: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ )   @cwebber @andrewfeeney @hllizi femme here and I was entrapped too... laziest learning I did today 🤣 @andrewfeeney @hllizi @cwebber Made us all laugh SPLAINTRAPPIN’    @cwebber So ActivityPub is a social networking standard invented by <checks notes>  @alexhammy209 @cwebber @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...  @cwebber I could. But others have already done so and done well. https://www.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  @meena @zepfhyr @DoctorDNS @cwebber IDK about the W3C process specifically, but a lot of times in these sorts of things, you're getting contributions and input from many different people, so it's up to the editors to pull it all together into a cohesive spec. Think more like the editor of a newspaper, less editor of a book. Yeah, she should just read the spec. I guess she doesn't even know who wrote it.  cwebber: "Please, tell me more about how excellent the introduction is" 🤩
@DoctorDNS so erm, in danger of getting wooshed: was this post intended to be serious or ironic? @cwebber Are you familiar with a T-shirt cannon? It's like that, but for JSON. :flan_guns: @cwebber So I heard that Alice can toot Bob. Then Bob can reply to Alice's toot, to explain things. And this all happens on what everyone calls Mastadon.  It's #legacy technology not implemented in #Rust.  @cwebber I'm am genuinely very glad that you're having fun with this. 😊 |
@cwebber That one really made me lol! 🤣
