unless someone is truly interested in working with me on this project (...) there's really no use in sharing it.
Yeah, but doesn't it go both ways? How can people find out if their vision is aligned with yours unless you show what you have?
I mean, I share the feeling of not wanting to make any big announcement when it's not usable, but at least putting out a link to the repo and some roadmap would help others to see if they would be interested in helping you.
Any particular reason to keep it private?
You don't a "platform", you need a Fediverse indexer + search engine.
It's Dan's whole M.O: he gets excited about some new project, goes on a rushed coding rampage, releases some alpha-quality code, then loses interest and starts the chase for the next shiny toy.
the project is unfinished
Understatement of the year. Dan has posted "loops next week" for more than an year already...
I am not sure I follow. How would a troll cause trouble to an instance by lurking on a site?
usually to prevent spam and other crazy shit
but a registration shouldn't be needed if you just want to browse and scroll.
It's not a Federated platform like LinkedIn, but I am working on CareerCupid , a "OkCupid for jobs" website where people can answer questions about their values and goals, and then find out people that are the most compatible to work with. The website does work with ActivityPub though, you can follow @thecupid@cupid.careers and you can see the new polls and job listings published on the website.
There is no such thing as a "vote" in ActivityPub/ActivityStreams. This idea of "up/down votes" is just an abstraction of a message saying "Actor A liked B", where B is an Post/Comment (and a post/comment itself just being an abstraction of ActivityStreams objects).
That is to say: there is no way to selectively hide the content a message. If you want federation to work and you want people outside your own server to see your posts, then the server needs to broadcast the messages to anyone listening.
Tools like lemvotes are just exposing this information. There is no point in trying to censor the tool, because this information is available publicly, and any motivated person will be able to track this information.
If you are concerned about what people think of your "likes" and "dislikes", then do not use a public social media service and only communicate with provably secure communication tools.
There is no upvote system. no favourites system, no saved posts system.
There is no such thing as "upvote" on ActivityPub. This is an abstraction on top of the "Like" activity. If Misskey UI is geared only towards reactions and doesn't have a way for users to "like" something, this is a Misskey problem, not a Fediverse one.
My point is, this discrepancy between platforms calls for standardized system.
And what people are trying to explain to you is that this "standardized system" already exists. ActivityStreams is the standard to define a vocabulary, and ActivityPub is the standard that defines what happens when data is sent between different servers.
The issue I am taking with your comment is that it seems that you are expecting developers to start backwards from an unified product vision and then build their way down to the standard. This only works well when you have one single entity controlling everything. It's the "Apple Way" of developing products.
ok. Can I get an invite to the repo, then? :) I'm https://codeberg.org/raphael.
