@trwnh@mastodon.social actually what made me think of “extensions of email and newsgroups” was more the object structure, but on second thought that's more an ActivityStream characteristic than an ActivityPub one, although an actual implementation of the C2S part of AP would still fit the bill in some sense.
(Yeah, the lack of usage of DELETE and PATCH surprised me initially, but the fact it would have needed to also define how to propagate them partially explains it.)
@trwnh@mastodon.social this was a fascinating read, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the blog post.
I've had thoughts along those lines since I've started using Mastodon and getting familiar with AP, which I always saw as an extension of email and Usenet rather than a more general tool for the “social web” —and even for that it's being held back by the absence of a “content independent” AP server (AFAIK the only one in development is Vocata, and it still has some way to go).
I only just found this but, in case you're still testing things, here's a couple of hints:
@mannivu @musica apprezzo la serendipità di questo messaggio nella mia timeline il giorno in cui ho ripreso in mano per la prima volta uno strumento a corde per suonarlo dopo anni di inattività.
(No, non è una risposta diretta alla richiesta di aiuto, mi dispiace. Purtroppo ho imparato a suonare con maestri, non manuali.)
@Telodzrum good to know, but I tend to avoid games without native ports, as a matter of principle. No Tux No Bux.
@glimse (joking aside, I wasn't aware tags would come through this way, I'll be more considerate about this in the future).
(I'll fault lemmy for this though: it reinterprets the HTML as Markdown but then fails at rendering it in the title.)
