    so, this is a bit of an abstract mathematical post. I think that a fediverse service consists mostly of three parts: identity provider, data hoster, and feed provider. The data hoster is the machine that hosts the posts and comments and upvote/downvote stats. The feed provider is the service which gives you a nice, scrollable overview over new content for you. This is today the same system that provides the data, but it could be separated, such as having a custom "search engine" that gives you content, that you use independently of where the data is stored. The identity provider basically only makes a proof that "you are you" : you give it your login credentials and it gives you a kind of token that authenticates (proves your identity) to other services. like, i'm on discuss.tchncs.de, but i can post to lemmy.world. this is because the discuss.tchncs.de server says to lemmy.world that i indeed have this account on this server. so they prove my identity in a way. What i argue now is that such an identity providing server is not technically necessary. You could use something like an ~/.ssh/id_rsa file that you generate on your own computer and use that public key to identify yourself on the fediverse. I don't think that this approach has any inherent advantages over how things are being done today, but it could be done that way and that in itself is fascinating. :D

    Read about #Encyclia by @jfietkau and plans to bring more #OpenScience to our #fediverse https://discuss.coding.social/t/my-current-goals-for-activitypub-and-academic-data/750There are multiple other #ActivityPub projects that share interests to connect more tightly the academic world to the #SocialWeb. Backed by #NGI0 @nlnet funding there is the very promising @bonfire and #Plaudit in earlier rounds (#WebMentions, not fedi).We should align on #OpenStandardshttps://encyclia.pubhttps://bonfirenetworks.orghttps://plaudit.pub#SX #Socialcoding
