Grateful to hear @cwebber talk about #copyleft & #decentralized tools like #ActivityPub at #CopyleftConf Brussels.

I tooted an idea a while back on an #ActivityPub federated #Podcasting app. Well I found a project called #PubCast. All there is is a Github page some code that doesn't actually work yet but I love the fact that it's being worked on.

Expanding on my idea, they should add support for #WebTorrent too. Wouldn't it be awesome if anyone could setup their own podcast site and then people could follow via the #Fediverse or #RSS and stream via webtorrent so a popular show doesn't bring down their site?

Let's get some facts down:
- No single person created the #Fediverse
- No single authority controls #ActivityPub
- #ActivityStreams allow federating data
- AS can be readily extended to have new kinds of data
- Instances are the authorities on their own data

Opinion:
We should work towards having decentralized (instances) "AS/AP Authorities" who can extend the protocol and own the extensions, while federating these extensions so other devs can discover them in a centralized manner.

The demo I'm working on at this hackathon is for a secure way of hosting content so that if your instance goes down, your content can survive, and if your content becomes popular, the whole network can help balance the work of hosting it. #activitypub #wizardstower2019

Finally this happened!

#Friendica 2019.01 release now officially supports #activitypub out of the gate.

https://github.com/friendica/friendica/releases/tag/2019.01

From their #changelong:

''The AP functionality was tested with Hubzilla, #Mastodon, #NextcloudSocial, #Osada, #PeerTube, with #Pixelfed and #Pleroma.''

Another bunch of users to interact with... a more viable alternative to FB and #Diaspora, because #activitypub (and #zot) is the future of decentralised social net.

Thank you guys,

Hey fediverse admins, have you made sure your instance is being counted by https://the-federation.info/ ? I love being able to respond with that stats site URL when people say "nobody uses federated social networks" elsewhere on the web :) It now counts nodes running any one of 36 server apps, across 9 federation protocols, including #OStatus, and #ActivityPub, reporting about 2 1/2 million users.

https://forum.enough.community/c/events/prepare-fosdem-2019 is now public for #ActivityPub round table preparation.

I hope this will motivate people to get a bit more involved. It's only 2 weeks left to #FOSDEM2019, so I start worrying about the community's capacity to act collectively and bring something interesting at FOSDEM.

Here's the "final" comment on #ActivityPub by the informal spokesperson on inter-operationg from the #Diaspora project:
