@dna I don't provide a listing feature, as a "fewer moving parts is better" thing that also happens to be a privacy measure. But I might start thinking about a way to expose them in a way that makes sense.

@kennon @Argus I ought to write it up but basically

20 minutes going over every single feature and setting of the mastodon UI
10 minutes discussing federation broadly
30 minutes walking them though a brief bio of every other public person on the server, plus talking about our movie nights, streaming events, book clubs, various snail mail swaps, etc

@lps @Argus yup! We have 80 people, about 50 of whom joined after I instituted that policy, so I've spent a little over a single work week of time on it in a couple years. It really doesn't feel like a lot, though that's partly because of the small numbers! Also partly because it is a real joy to get to know new campers

@waterbear The video in the post you just replied to explains it better than words can but essentially it is:

when you create a block of content/text (not necessarily a sentence or a section header but a conceptual block that you define) the content is given a unique identifier. That content block can be re-used and embedded seamlessly fully-rendered in different documents (this is transclusion). If you update the block itself in any context, it is updated in all other contexts.

Evan's talk is a really good companion to mine, where he offers a lot of examples of apps that are missing from the ActivityPub ecosystem but also talks in more detail about some of the incentives that big corporations have to chase ("engagement", for example) that community-based social software providers simply do not.

I reference OAuth a lot in my talk, and I can already tell that @aaronpk's discussion of OAuth 2.1 is going to be of interest to anyone who wants to develop the "suite of community apps" pattern from my presentation.

My keynote for ActivityPub Conference 2020 is now online a few days before the conference begins! Since it's a fully remote conference, the idea is you can (should?) watch the talks before the interactive/live sessions later this week.

Here's the keynote, which is about ways to provide value to users that CANNOT be re-centralized by the big corporations: https://conf.tube/videos/watch/b8d6c88a-0e73-46dd-9e35-d4645bb12db8

And all the other talks, which I'm excited to watch: https://conf.tube/video-channels/apconf_channel/videos

@nolan I know it's not dependabot's fault but I hate dependabot

@liaizon what the fuck

If you want to follow the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure podcast that @courtney & I do with our friend Eliz, this is a great time to start. We have moved on from the anime (since we covered all of it to date) and just yesterday started on Part 7 of the manga. Part 7 aka Steel Ball Run is a full series reboot in a new timeline so if you have never even read JoJo's, well, this is an ideal starting point. It's also the best arc of the series, so read along with us!
