Hey, this is great. It is so nice to see the uptick of interest in the #C2S part of #ActivityPub. Very uplifting and gives me hope for the future of #fediverse.

I really liked your #FOSDEM presentation, and thank you for mentioning my humble list. They are just notes atm, but I will try to keep them up-to-date. I just made a bunch of updates..

Which ActivityPub applications support Client-to-Server (C2S)?

Would love to hear more on what are the particular plans and goals for your project in the near future?

@smallcircles @django @evan just saw this in the #fediverse-devs:matrix.org room

@liaizon @django @evan

Nice. Do you know which project this refers to?

@smallcircles @django @evan looks like its in reference to https://dev.alien.cool by @raphael

@liaizon @smallcircles @django @evan

https://activitypub.mushroomlabs.com is the project site. dev.alien.cool is just my dev deployment (please be gentle)

@raphael @liaizon @smallcircles @django ha! There are a lot of Djangos involved in the social API.

i really should try to get back to sleep, but i saw you never got a response and i strongly believe in giving people resources if they’re genuinely open to other ideas.

when it comes to being anti-capitalist, i think of the Mr. Gotcha comic

(www.reddit.com)

you can recognize capitalism as harmful and also “participate” in it when you have to survive in a society that offers no alternative, while you work towards said alternative.

i think of the frustration that can come from therapists being “paid to care.” a therapist can genuinely care while being paid - they need to eat.

i would recommend following people who are anti-capitalist, as well as minorities (racial/lgbt/disabled) so you can understand how capitalism harms people, and also learn about alternative ideas (since there are many). do understand that a lot of discussions may be emotionally charged and might make you feel uncomfortable. i have, and still often do, feel that way. generally i try not to argue, but i take the information in and reflect on it. what it means, why the person had the response, what is making me have my emotional response. i’ve found it so useful for educating myself as well as having better emotional regulation, empathy, patience, and compassion. there is no losing.

@brinazarski @liaizon @401matthall thank you for the insightful response. I was looking for a more concrete advice on alternative ways of funding, since I am a builder and like Mastodon, I find it hard to fund public goods. But thank you for sharing the spirit of what anti-capitalism means for you. It's all coming from a good place. I have had my share of hardships and I don't come from money (relatively speaking), so I relate to what you're talking about!

@liaizon @undead And the server-based moderation doesn't help here. Users feel trapped, it makes things worse. But to be fair it's not specific to activity pub. Bluesky has its own echo chamber, and X as well. But at least the underlying philosophy behind atproto tries to create bridge between groups rather than segregating them in echo chambers.

@adriano @squeakypancakes @liaizon the only problem I had was misinterpreting my point and saying I'm pro genocide or stuff like that. It's ok to disagree with me on anarchist/anti capitalist and protocol stuff since that's what I called for.
