@dansup also it is a confusing name considering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Intents

@dansup I recall seeing similar projects to this in the past. I wonder if that's a case of those old projects not getting well known.

@dansup Good work!

@dansup

Let me know what kind of help you need and when you need it - I design and implement APIs often, and am decent with TypeScript - this seems like a good opportunity to get on-hand experience with FediDB's APIs

@dansup sounds like something the fediverse would really benefit from!

I hope you can build up a team of folks working on this together you stay really busy, and it takes working together to build something with a big impact, especially when you're juggling lots of projects

I'm rooting for you!

@dansup I knew you could fix this Fediverse issue!

Do you remember this?

@dansup@mastodon.social you're a beast! It's incredible what you've been doing for the fediverse! Thank you! I love the fediverse but it still isn't very user friendly when you need to interact with other instances. For example, if I click on a link to your Mastodon profile and it is on a different instance than mine, the flow to follow you or favorite or retoot one of your posts isn't very intuitive. There is a lot of people asking for the creation of some web-based protocol handlers for ActivityPub but this proposal never gets attention... Maybe you're the man to make it real! I'll let a link with some links to this proposal on various places so you can have a better idea of what I'm talking about. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/web-based-protocol-handlers-for-activitypub-resources/3563/3 Thanks again and sorry for the long text.

@benroyce @rolle @dansup Oh, I don’t mean to dictate what someone’s priorities ought or ought not to be; you’re right, that’s their prerogative. But Daniel’s established that his priority is to support the Fediverse by building strong platforms for it; vision dissonance takes time away from working on the software that thousands of Fedizens now depend on, which runs in contradiction to his OWN priorities. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

@moshimotsu Anyone can start a thousand open source projects if they want, even just as experiments. That's how open source grows - by letting people try new things without judgment. You still sound too judgmental and nitpicky. My point stands. @benroyce @dansup

@moshimotsu @rolle @dansup

so you were called out for being bossy

and you reply to that call out with...

patronizing dan and continuing to act bossy

marcial,

you're the problem with the fediverse:

these fucking entitled, controlling busybodies

you think you can concern troll and demand of other people's attention and time on the premise that you, who don't do shit, somehow are the boss

no marcial, you aren't

what you do is:

you help dan

or you shut the fuck up

understand, asswipe?

@alemarcati @moshimotsu @rolle @dansup

ah. ok

the "polite society" song and dance routine that coddles concern trolls

marcial is not contributing shit, alexandre

marcial is patronizing and condescending and micromanaging someone else's concerns and priorities

that is a troll angle Alexandre, nothing more

why do you defend that?

*that* is what is uncalled for

@alemarcati @moshimotsu @rolle @dansup

alexandre, you don't have to like my language. i admit to being a loudmouth and a hothead. and perhaps i've been hanging on mastodon for too long, so a certain side of the problem here rings louder for me than it does for you

but what is absolutely true is that there are people who feel entitled to busybody and control others, rather than contribute

and this behavior, at the least, is a negative drain. at the worse, a troll angle you should be aware of

@benroyce There's been a miscommunication!

I didn't intend to be patronizing or "bossy," my intent was only to point out what I feel might be overdiversification before setting up a strong team of builders—which is a goal that Daniel himself has actually expressed in the past! Just a, "hey, this is cool, but please make sure you're still working on the base you've established for yourself."

Whether Daniel agrees or not, up to him! As a proponent of Fedi, I simply wanted to voice one opinion.

@benroyce And while I'll certainly take your advice on trying to come off as less entitled to heart, I can't say that being called an "asswipe" inspires confidence in self-reflection. Nonetheless, the internet is great at making it super difficult to glean character from <400 character posts, and already provides too small a window frame to understanding one another at all. So, I'll be muting this thread, but if we interact further elsewhere, I'd take to more constructive criticism a bit better!

@moshimotsu

Fair

But please: let Dan be Dan. He knows all of this already

If anything this is merely a problem with open source: we do whatever the fuck we want. This is very freeing, and very attractive

But it doesn't mean it has any focus

But that's ok. The path forward isn't a straight line

And what gives me fear is negative feedback because that kills motivation

Dan's done so much already, just praise his good efforts

And let him do whatever the fuck he wants

@moshimotsu

I am a hothead and a loudmouth. If it means anything you see me calling people asswipes, fuckwits, douchebags, etc, 2-3 times a day. Search my post history

Doesn't mean you have to like it or accept it. Just process it as a personality style about how I communicate, not about what you deserve or not

@rolle In fairness, having <500 characters to express an opinion makes it easy for me to express the wrong voice And you're right, open source is absolutely about experimentation! What I was hoping to point out was that the goals he's setting out for himself usually involve huge teams of people (Mastodon alone is an entire non-profit), and are altruistic in nature; FOSS can already lead to burnout on its own, and I wary of burnout when you run two entire social platforms, and then add more.

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

fuck you shitbag

stop being such a malicious bottomfeeder

why are you on mastodon. shouldn't you be gossiping about celebrities like the rest of you useless smearmongerers?

"oh no, dan said something that can be interpreted in a bad way! "

he's building on the fediverse. what he builds is good. *that* i admire, 100%, you got me

and what are you worth? backbiting mean middle school level shit. fucking loser

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

i'm sorry you're so sexually frustrated you have to project that psychological status of yours all over mastodon

fucking bottomfeeding loser

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

wow. anonymous bottomfeeding loser, telling the whole world they are sexually frustrated

and 1,000,000,000%: i admire what dan is doing for the fediverse

and what are you doing loser? how are you helping?

telling us you're sexually frustrated and playing innuendo gossip games for smearmongering shitbags. you're a big help! do the fediverse a favor and delete your account, shitbag

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

thanks. i have a brain. i understand what building things on the fediverse means

what do you got?

telling the world you're sexually frustrated and anonymous smearmongering

why are you such a pathetic loser?
