    I think I have identified a fairly significant flaw in how the #Fediverse currently operates. Hear me out.The Fediverse currently consists of all sorts of different systems - #Mastodon, #Friendica , #Pixelfed , #PeerTube, #BookWyrm , and so forth. And while they are all connected via the #ActivityPub protocol, they all have different functionalities and different ways of presenting themselves. Which is as it should be, because Diversity Is Our Strength(TM).However, it is here that the ActivityPub-based interactivity hits its limits - for usually, you can either experience the relevant system as it was intended, or you can interact with it, but not both - _unless_ you have an account on the same system (though not necessarily on the same instance).Let's say that you are a Mastodon user who looks at another person's BookWyrm page. You scroll through their books, posts, and comments. Then you see some comment you want to comment on yourself, but can you do so?Not directly. You need to figure out the URL of their comment, and then copy and paste that comment into the search bar of your Mastodon instance. Then it will show up in the same format as a Mastodon post, and you can interact with it - boost it, like it, comment on it.Sure, it works, but it's a whole lot of tedious effort.Or you can search for the user account in Mastodon and scroll through all their posts and comments as if they were a Mastodon user - and thus, you will miss out on all the unique user interface features of BookWyrm.So what is missing?Well, Mastodon already has an "Open original page" feature when looking at someone's post. What we need is an "Open original page AND AUTHENTICATE" feature. This way, the target instance (whatever software they are using) could acknowledge the viewer as an external user who could nevertheless fully interact with the local user interface, including the ability to boost, like, and make comments.This is something that should be theoretically possible to implement, right? #FediHelp

    Just had dinner – Manchurian and Noodles. My brother’s exams got over today so a party of sorts. Tomorrow we have a ritual at home so wondering how it will all go as it will be fully packed and the meal prep has already started for tomorrow. By 3 pm I will be free. This morning felt a bit cold like again but not very much. Ugh! The weather! I hope it fades away quick whatever it is – the remaining. Tomorrow there are going to be ladies arriving for Pooja and then all family members to pray to goddess. I find all of the jazz so overwhelming and tiresome lord. I just want to rest and chillax. But obligations etc. Ugh! I hope strings of moments will pass through and I’ll be in Monday awaiting the November months weekend …Le sigh! I did my new moon journaling today. Late but did it. Tried to get off AI features on gmail etc and had lots of emails in my inbox stacked. Unsubscribed to tons! What the hell is going on with giant companies. Holy cow!

    When I first started #blogging, I used the most popular #CMS, #Wordpress. If you've read my previous posts, you know I never got along with it—which is why I have my new love, #Hugo 🥰.I haven't deleted it though, and I very occasionally post there. This is my latest:➡️ https://eclecticpassions.net/blog/improve-personal-productivity-modified-eisenhower-matrix/One day, I'll convert it to a static site, but I haven't gotten the chance yet.Meanwhile, I installed the #ActivityPub #wordpressplugins to see how it works... seems I can't get quoting to work.
