Like, nothing says your collection needs to serve the same content to all requestors, likewise, you don't even need to serve the same content to the same requestor

Oh, wait a minute, I just roughly described how bluesky's feed-gen services work.

Also, extending this with "how does feed gen get data" could be via FASP protocol

That "authentication" could just be HTTP Message Signatures, but it could also be much more advanced OAuth bearer tokens using JWTs and stuff

Like, an interesting thing I learned today is that all requests for custom feeds are actually proxied through your PDS in AT Proto, like there's a full on proxy endpoint implementation.
ActivityPub also has a "proxy endpoint" though much less defined

thisismissem@hachyderm.io well, sure, but get ready to get blasted by people for being "deceptive" and "manipulative".
It's like that one fun thing where some software (akkoma maybe?) substitutes the requesting instance's domain in content via template magic words.
Same thing really. Just different use case.

@skyfaller so, it's about having the same people for you? "Fediverse" is the name of the community, not the network?

@evan Is the World Wide Web no longer the Web because we are browsing HTML 5 instead of HTML 4? What about the brief XHTML / semantic web period? If the same people using the same software use a different protocol, why does the name for what they're doing need to change?
-
@skyfaller no.

@evan No, I'm just using Mastodon as an example of a popular fedi software that used to run on a different protocol.
Do you think the OStatus predecessor network was meaningfully different in character than the present fediverse? It seems like the same idea, just not implemented as well, and more narrowly focused on microblogging.
Could you call the OStatus network an early fedi? Could a new protocol with similar values and goals still be meaningfully fedi?
-
@skyfaller so, for you, the Fediverse is about Mastodon?
