@Gargron The objective of the task force is to improve the ActivityPub API and make it more usable for general-purpose social clients. I'm mining your comment for features you noted that are missing from the API, like search and autocomplete.
@timbray@mpjgregoire That's an interesting question. Maybe it's more like calling a shirt green when it's actually chartreuse. You're giving a first approximation that's easier to understand. I think we would often say that this is *imprecise* rather than *inaccurate*.
@eniko I think one thing that's desirable in siloed networks which is almost impossible in the Fediverse is getting someone kicked off the network. The best we can do right now is isolate someone's server with defederation, so they can't do as much damage. It's probably enough, but it lacks the finality of seeing someone's account shut down by a central authority. I think the trade-off is probably worth it, though.
@evan@mpjgregoire I was about to click on โnot accurate but usefulโย and then I asked myself โhow is that different from any other form of lying for political advantage?โ
Iโve been part of some constructive discussions around the nuances of groups, lists, and follow recommendations (โstarter packsโ) lately. Maybe there will be other people [at FediForum] interested in exchanging ideas and plans.
Besides that, iโm always willing to talk about my evergreen topic: what can the fediverse do for academics, and what can academics do for the fediverse.
@ElManga e per l'ape ti porto in Piazza a Sangio al Bar Fiorenza e a cena ci sono un paio di ristoranti sempre a Sangio che non sono male, se non sei vegano
