@jon@vivaldi.net I was a long-time Opera aficionado, only dropped it when they switched to WebKit (and then Blink) and the last Presto-based version became obsolete (TLS-wise, mostly). Switched to Firefox, with which I'll stick as long as it maintains Gecko. Would love to jump to Vivaldi, but we need more independent rendering engines for the health of the web.

@dansup@mastodon.social placing a bet on flipboard then 8-D

@dansup@mastodon.social do they actually federate via AP?

@atomicpoet thanks for doing this, I was collating a list of the unreactive servers myself, but bidding your post is easier ;-)
Can confirm that these are the only servers that I'm still getting spam from in this wave.

@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).

@rglullis @Rooki (OT: the last paragraph in the post has a couple of typos. I believe it should be TINSTAAFL (also I recommend making it an abbr for the less informed), and there is an “under” that should probably be “understand”)

QED

@enzoesco in tal caso @petrstolypin sarebbe un coglione e non varrebbe comunque la pena di argomentare (tempo sprecato), ma no, il fatto stesso che abbia cercato di insistere per l'argomentazione dimostra che è un troll.

@macfranc

@enzoesco ma soprattutto non si perde tempo ad “argomentare” con i troll. È tipo la prima regola di internet
