While Victor holds the camera, Paige catches up with Evan Prodromou one of the architects of Activity Pub in a busy Montreal Cafe. We ask about the future of the protocol, encrypted direct messaging, account transfer, the co-social co-op and hopes for a federated future.

Right, which ActivityPub.Space follows and auto categorizes, which ends up as a way for microblog content to make its way into the threadiverse. @strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz
@silverpill@mitra.social sorry for interjecting 😁

But it does makes sense to discuss a federated network in a federated network, rather than a separate, centralised forum.I keep harping on this one point because it just makes so much sense that it'd be silly not to. The new blood (new software devs implementing AP) always appear on fedi, not some third-party site, first.
To your main point, fedi on Mastodon is all just everybody talking in the same room. Certainly that's why it seems like there's so much meta-discussion about AP.
This isn't the case on the threadiverse, where discussions are segregated/categorized by community.

@mariusor awesome! ♥️

@pfefferle I added a PKCE task to my todo list:
-
@pfefferle if I'd come up with a scheme for them they would be related to pairs of activityType:objectType entries (instead of a global write), or maybe just the activityType
Ie, Create:Note, Create:Image, Undo, Delete.

@mariusor yea, I think the scopes and the PKCE part was the issue!
but finally... 😊

@pfefferle love it! 💗
GoActivityPub doesn't really do "scopes" because I couldn't think of a way store the permissions on the server side in a way that doesn't require custom logic to interact with vanilla ActivityPub objects.
