@mat talk of purity can only make all other platforms connect better among themselves. Yet every time someone implements Activity Pub the first burden they find is "ooops, this gives an error from Mastodon side".

Standards exist for this very reason.

I agree with you with meeting in the middle, but Msatodon has been up since 2016, Activity Pub since 2018, we're on 2026. Mastodon migrated in late 2017 early 2018 before the spec was even fully ratified. It's been more than 8 years.

If at-the-very-least it didn't have the "huge undocumented behaviours", it wouldn't be stalling all other AP implementers.

@benpate

JESUS when even the stochastic parrot throws shade at Msatodon implementation of Activity Pub.

I'm honestly starting to wonder what is the point of people putting years in creating a standard if the main platform using such standard is spitting on it.

#activitypub #mastodon

Does anyone here know of a running Bonfire instance that has federation actually activated?

I want to try different platforms see if any other Activity Pub implementation makes better use of the actual protocol.

Already tried Sharkey, Pixelfed, Hubzilla, Friendica, GoToSocial and Akkoma.

#askfedi #activitypub

@paco it'll be pricier than the 3 I own (.dev, .uk, .es)

@paco thirty euros a year ?
