@thisismissem @liaizon @laurenshof 2¢: I'm writing my first FEP right now, it's a big one, and all the implementers have been great. Bringing their ideas and goals and perspectives, being polite, constructive and helpful. Might be a reflection of who's there (or who isn't), but hey.
The only hurdle so far is that no one seems to want to write.
Then again, not having to merge other people's chunks of text into a cohesive document has its upsides.@julian @liaizon @laurenshof wait until after the FEP is written and published..

@liaizon @laurenshof because politics and fights and strong opinions divide us.
Standards work, particularly at the W3C, attracts a certain type of person, and that's usually very different to builders.
@thisismissem from my perspective, I don't feel comfortable writing a specification until I have verified it with a proof of concept. And by the time the proof of concept is done to my satisfaction, usually the community has moved to another solution to doing the same thing so it becomes kinda of a moot point.

Bluesky also has its roots in other anarchist alternative networks. It takes a lot of inspiration from the core architects being involved in SSB (Secure Scuttlebutt)
The fediverse is anticapitalist I shout from the tallest mountain. The fediverse is explicitly an anarchist project I whistle into the wind. The fediverse is not the protocol, it is not a technology, it is an ideology above all that human communication should not be controlled by companies or oligarchs but by our friends and neighbors.

@liaizon @401matthall any recommendations for reading materials?
I think it's pretty objective to say there is a problem between funding public goods versus venture capital where most of the money is. It's well studied and I've read a bit about it already. I'm all for alternative forms of financing. That's why I'm interested in the crypto space as well. I'm happy to learn about new ways to co-finance public goods sustainably.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
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.

@reiver
There is lots of talking about a Fedi "culture" that allows this and expects that. But the real culture is that we allow these gatekeepers and bullies to shout, despite that they don't represent the Fediverse, "the community" or "the culture". Every time a developer folds the bullies win and we lose.

I don't think people here realized yet how much development has sped up in the "atmosphere*"
I fear for the future of the fediverse if we don't get our shit together in some key areas. The way the lexicon system over there allows interoperability between distinct types of data and interface is really showing now that the developer ecosystem is picking up.
*The network comprised of different stuff that uses AT Proto
The separation between PDS and appview is a great advantage. I guess ActivityPods's is trying to do something similar by unify Solis and AP, but I don't see much talk about it.
ATProto also has something alike Zot's "nomadic identity". And while there has been work to get it working on ActivityPub, only a few software support it and many don't even care about implementing it.
A big problem of the AP side of fedi is that while seeing itself as the most decentralised in quantitative terms, in some qualitative aspect acts in a semi-centralised manner either by making migration harder and incomplete or by being suspicious of any tool that separates identity from log in credential (nomadic identity, multiple identities, etc). It's pretty obvious that many AP devs and sysadmins have a user lock-in mentally and only defend the self-hosting aspect of decentralisation.

@thisismissem @laurenshof I really really don't understand why so many ap devs just refuse altogether to participate in the standardiazion process. I wonder how we could make FEPs more exciting for people. How much of this is a vibe thing
@liaizon @thisismissem @laurenshof it's because FEPs aren't standards and the actual standards are not allowed to change

@liaizon I absolutely agree. I think the client-first development environment for ATProto makes this kind of work extremely emergent.
As @tsyesika said at FOSDEM in the Social Web Devroom, the ActivityPub social API ("C2S") is our equivalent to this programming interface. We need to get it kickstarted so we can build interesting social networking applications without having to build the server side, delivery, queuing, etc.

@jenniferplusplus @thisismissem @laurenshof ouch... so with a combination of these two things, what would need to change to get you psyched about participating in the standardization of all these under-standardized edges?

I genuinely don't know. Lexicons?
They provide 2 critical things. One is schemas, which actually support coordination and interoperability. The other is namespacing, which actually avoids collisions and supports efficient filtering. But linked data makes that impossible. -

I think @django has done great work to evaluate all the different servers. It would be cool to get to a reference server that developers could use.

I've been to some of the Bluesky / ATmosphere conferences.
You are correct that there are former AP people over there (at AT) now.
I talked to a number of them. This (at the following URL) is a common reason I heard for why they switched from AP to AT:
@reiver ⊼ (Charles) :batman: (@reiver@mastodon.social)
One person saying — builders have mostly left Mastodon (and gone to Bluesky), because when developers try to build on Mastodon, they get yelled at, and maybe even receive death threats. #ATmosphereConf
Mastodon (mastodon.social)
(I am quoting / paraphrasing someone who switched AP to AT. But, I heard others say similar, too.)

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?

The way the BoostBox should work is the app POSTs the TLV record to the url in the feed. BB will return a unique link and/or identifier to the app. The app then makes the payment and includes that link or identifier in the payment message. With something like a Webhook, when the payment goes through, the BoostBox would be notified through the Hook with the unique identifier to verify the TLV is valid and tied to the payment. The link could also be used by the splits to look up the TLV.

@ChadF not sure I understand what's happening. You mean your payments don’t carry the url in the comments?
