Dan Abramov describing #ActivityPub #fediverse on HN:
> "many Twitters talking to each other"
From the latest Wordpress ActivityPub release, a few interesting tidbits.
First, quite intriguing to see tooling to monitor the progress of a self destruct request. Current platforms you just have to cross your fingers it works.
Second, you can provide a link to a Starter Kit to pull in all the accounts to be followed, again with a new UI to manage them.
Starter Kits? A standard format compatible with AP? Inquiring minds want to know.

I've setup quite a few fediverse platforms. The instances are small, usually me and a few other fediverse devs that use them for testing.
It's quiet. Very quiet.
I've tried pulling in data from relays. But that's like opening floodgates to who knows what type of content.
FediBuzz was nice because I could follow specific hashtags ONLY. That cut down on the noise. But that is dependent on posts using those tags.
Is there a better way to curate content? I think so.
Seeing an influx of spam from a few big Mastodon servers, perfect timing for FediThreat to ship along with the big Stories release!
It's going to be a busy and fun weekend 馃殌
@Sarahp This is such a nonsensical law. I think someone should go to court seeking for all email providers to implement the age check too.
(yes, I am comparing the #fediverse with #email)
New: SocialHub and the Substrate of Decentralised Networks
SocialHub, one of the primary forums to talk about the #fediverse and #ActivityPub, has been struggling how to continue the operation. Decentralised networks need a coordination layer, but how to build this in a decentralised manner?
