@maiyannah I think the main benefit he's trying to sell is mindshare between projects.

Issue here: https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/7422

Also, AP does have the added benefit of including server-to-server as well as server-to-client API implementation.

Oh boy, Evan Prodromou (of #StatusNet / #Pump / #OStatus fame) showed up on #Diaspora's GitHub Issue tracker and asked that we support #ActivityPub

It's a nice thought, and hopefully we can do that in the long term. But some part of me is apprehensive about the spec and the leg work it will take to support it.

There are certain unanswered questions, such as "Will ActivityPub support Diaspora's federated privacy controls?"

And here is how that old discussion on #SocialNetwork term looks like now in #AndStatus
(I like the dark theme although light theme is a default one now...)

@maloki It's interesting that a couple of years ago we discussed a generic term for our networks (including #GNUSocial and #PumpIo), and that time I came to conclusion that "Social network" is far better term than "Microblogging". Interesting discussion: https://loadaverage.org/conversation/6782883#notice-6796031

Tip: #AndStatus application can store messages for years, this is why I easily found that conversation ;-)

@KARiley40 Try #AndStatus https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.andstatus.app
Maybe it's not as pretty looking as others, but it will allow you to try other Social networks also, and it works offline...
You can even use it as a tool to explore Social networks, joining Search query results from all networks in a single view....
