Types of replies you can expect when talking about #ActivityPub:
Well actually…
* …that isn't _activitypub_ that is _mastodon_.
* …that is solved in _mastodon_ therefore it is solved in _activitypub_ (bonus points if it is on the same point that got the previous response).
* …I wrote some code that solves it, it's easy! <code does not, in fact, solve the problem>
* <Insert rant about corporate social media>
* <insert rant about Jack Dorsey>
* <insert rant about threads>

@incise Nice, great progress!
@weekinfediverse Is this on your radar?

And with this, I'm feature freezing new developments.
The focus now is solely on improving the UI, lots of rough edges everywhere! It has a good foundation, and needs to be refined continuously.

I've been working all day today improving, fixing, and enhancing the comments system in Incise.
- Comments are now correctly listed for #ActivityPub fetches
- Comments are now likable from the web UI as well as through #ActivityPub
- Comment replies are now #federated as well
- Comments by remote actors (eg. Mastodon users) liked by Incise users are now #federatedAn example of the last point, this comment by @Viditb on @dezinezync's post: https://mastodon.social/@Viditb/115960081954678201/favourites

@wjmaggos@liberal.city I think that thinking of "anything" being boostable is both weird and expected at the same time. We hold these thoughts in our heads concurrently because it was how the web-at-large (indieweb notwithstanding) worked.
What I mean is...
A news article isn't a discrete resource shared on a common social web — such a construct does not exist outside of the Fediverse.
... but news articles are littered with "share via..." buttons that sort of approximate the experience.

Is social media its own thing or is it an attention layer for the open web? Is it mostly about these separate things we call posts, or should every piece of writing or audio or video be able to be boosted itself?
I think that's the divide between #ATproto and #ActivityPub. #bluesky wants to dominate a world of posts like Gmail dominates email etc. Social running on a protocol but one company decides most people's experience. Or should we give the public full control over what media goes viral?

The Quiet app provides high-level technical details of how their app works:

This is actually very similar to one way I imagined a more server-less peer-based usage of ActivitiyPub working.
