I'm checking it out now. Thanks for the link!

Hey Ben,
just for reference, this was initially planned in AP …
pukkamustard made a Talk in the first official ActivityPub Conf, I organized in 2019 i Prague. We have a video channel in peertube https://conf.tube/c/apconf_channel/videos - you should find it there.
Re. todays team meeting we talked mainly about how to integrate Public Transport from GTFS feeds, like https://transitous.org/ - anyway.
In the model which I described for federated geocoding, the difference to geopub is that geoohashes are ActivityPub Collections.

@thisismissem Yes, you're raising some important points that we should cover. And, it's easy to see the potential for someone to post harmful content on a map.
But I don't see it being any different from posting harmful content in any other medium they have. Witness the dude live tweeting celebrity plane locations.
Fundamentally, people *should* be able to talk about others behind their backs. Maps or not, if they post data they shouldn't, then it's probably an issue for server mods, yes?

I read up on Interaction Policies. They're a great idea, but it looks like these are requests that only work if other servers enforce them.
I'm suspicious of things like this that can't be enforced beyond my own server because (as we've seen too many times) only the good guys will follow the rules, leaving the bad guys with an unfair advantage.

This should integrate WITH @mobilizon very nicely. I'll need to verify, but Emissary should be able to index events in Mobilizon easily - if the server owner chooses. I think this is probably what you mean?
On a technology level, this uses a completely different technology and language that can't just be written into an existing app like Mobilizon.
Fortunately, the PROTOCOL matters, not the LANGUAGE, so we should be able to work together over ActivityPub.
@benpate @yala @mobilizon
I think I understand the insisting point of "WITH". I guess it would be really nice. So, there would be two associated posts on two different servers, those two posts being linked by some sort of threads if I don't misunderstand. -

And that's really the magic of the Fediverse and ActivityPub. Right now, you're posting on a server running GotoSocial, and I'm posting on a server running Mastodon, but our conversation is seamless.
Atlas work with Mobilizon in a similar way (though a slightly different mechanism). Think of the "map" in my demo as a search page - displaying ActivityPub posts from all sites that the admins choose to index.

I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub
There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.
@benpate great idea! I loved using Foursquare back in the day

Exactly. I’m still putting together features, and looking for input from the community on what it should look like.
So, what should it look like? Ratings? Rankings? Badges?

@benpate I enjoyed the "mayor of" aspect of foursquare which you could earn after checking into a location more frequently than others during a period of time. Ratings would also be a useful addition

Thanks! I’ll have to figure out how to get this done. Right now, #Emissary is pretty light on stats and analytics, but I can see how this would help make it fun for people to use :)

@mxfraud yes, which will happen ahead of 4.5 being released to everyone (it is true of the release candidates that are deployed to some servers, however).
-
@andypiper do you mean my toot is correct until Claire's PRs are merged?
-
@mxfraud no, we're working on resolving that.
-
@micke no. But many of the standards that we depend on, like Webfinger, HTTP Signature, OAuth and now MLS are at IETF. There is a lot to see and do here for people working on Fediverse standards.
-
In mastodon 4.5, linking to a toot in a DM, will leak the DM to the person your are talking about 🤦
1) Alice DM Bob via mastodon
2) Alice send a link to Malory's post in the DM to Bob
3) Malory receive a notification with the DM content.

@evan are you relocating ActivityPub from W3C to the IETF?

@evan is there any way to subscribe to future #Activityinthepub ? I wasn't aware of this one
