“activitypub is an open protocol” 

buddy that just means that the specification isn’t patent‐encumbered and you can read it online

mastodon federation 

i am suspending so many tiny “i’m depressed and do not deserve consequences for my actions” pleroma/akkoma/misskey instances right now oh my god

@coriander now if we can just “hold my beer” re: implementing socialism…

@coriander as far as american myths go, “america has the kind of batshit fucker who will fly an alien ship into the alien ship base in order to plant a trojan horse virus so some other batshit fucker can blow a different ship up by flying directly into its laser beam” isn’t half bad

stop recommending me the remix albums for things you didn't bother telling me about when they released

@gaditb W3C standard but it swaps the RFC 2119 terms randomly depending on the IP address making the request

re: otw discord fiasco / subtoot 

@adobo not large ones as of yet; i think there is talk of people spinning up smaller archives and maybe even someday having federation but a lot of it is hypothetical right now

re: otw discord fiasco / subtoot 

@adobo the short answer re: pluralkit is just that they haven't bothered to investigate it at all yet; maybe they will in the future but i'm not holding my breath

but yeah 100% do not trust the otw. they are extremely dysfunctional and i think it is only a matter of time before they start running out of volunteers to sustain their operation. who knows what will happen at that point

re: otw 

@aescling oh this is just the beginning

otw discord fiasco / subtoot 

“although i don't have the power to moderate this server, as an otw volunteer i want to say that i am deeply embarrassed that this conversation was allowed to develop the way it did. i can’t speak for the otw, but on a personal level i want plural fans to know that i respect them and will always try to ensure they have a space here. i will be speaking with my supervisors to stress the need for an apology, and if you have any further concerns i encourage you to reach out to me, understanding that i am only a lowly tag wrangler.”
