@kidehen Totally. The #Mastodon#API gave us a bit of a jump start with our integration but we are committed to integrating at the protocol level. It's interesting to learn about the pros and cons of the API approach vs. the protocol approach.
Open protocols are the ultimate protection against inevitable compromise.
Only implementing a part of the #ActivityPub protocol weakens the #Fediverse as an open #SocialMedia collective comprising loosely-coupled clients and servers.
@kidehen@mike@Mastodon Because of Mastodon and mastodon only, since november last yr thousands and thousands of developers more are looking into ActivityPub as we speak.
I think you're forgetting that little fact, and I can't figure out why.
@kidehen@mike@Mastodon@Gargron In fact, without Mastodon, (almost) nobody would know ActivityPub exists. So let's stop with the negativity towards Mastodon and let's BUILD!
And also be grateful for all the work Eugen did. He, and he alone put ActivityPub on the map. IMHO.

@mike,
Yep.
