Palestine@lemmy.ml•Why people who never been to Palestine, never met a Palestinian, never been affected by a Palestinian hate them so much.

ActivityPub@community.nodebb.org•Idle thought re: account delegation
1·7 months ago@julian @pfefferle onepage.pub uses it, the ap command-line tool uses the FEP. The new checkin tool I’m working on uses it. It’d be great to see more implementations.

I think it’s great to hear you’re going to implement the ActivityPub API. Chapter 3 of my book covers it pretty well. I strongly recommend reading it!

Evan Prodromou@cosocial.catoNews from fediverse@fedia.io•The Social Web Foundation launched today. This non-profit is dedicated to making connections between social platforms with ActivityPub, and was co-founded by @evan @mallory and @tomcoates.
1·1 year ago@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] yes, we think that moderators and admins shouldn’t have to go broke and quit and shut down their servers.
We’d like to help figure out ways to keep them going – I prefer the coop model, like the CoSocial server I use, but that’s not for everyone.

1·1 year ago@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] thanks. That’s a fair critique. I’ll see what I can do to get the full status of the project onto those pages.

1·1 year ago@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] It took me a while to figure out what you meant here.
The projects are just starting because the organisation just launched. We’ll show the deliverables on those pages when they’re done.
