If it gets too much to do polling all the time and that overwhelms the network, maybe we can add directed delivery, publish subscribe style
It could be like email

@cwebber and there could be hubs to avoid overloading home servers. We could call it pub-sub-hub-bub, kind of punny, don't you think?
*ducks*

@cwebber I think you're making a joke?

@evan I am pointing out some trends to revisiting history in a humorous matter, yes

@cwebber Thanks. It's funny!

@evan @cwebber nope! Models of technological and social change and cohesion, yes, standards, no. I love the goals that standards seek to achieve, but more often than not I see the governance aspects used as prisons for the mind and capital S-Standards as agents of cultural division, so don't engage on that front anymore. Not good for my mental health. ❤️

@blaine @cwebber I have a question for both of you while I have your ear.
It's about RSS 2.0!
One thing about ActivityPub that makes it hard to implement is that we don't have an explicit description of how a polling mode would work. I started one here: https://w3id.org/fep/b06c
I think it may make sense to describe how RSS 2.0 could fit in the picture, too. Having a defined mapping for RSS items into AS2, defining how IDs and uniqueness can be treated, and so on.
-
@evan @cwebber the discussion of protocols is often deeply embedded in the standards world, and protocols are defined by standards.
Really sorry - one of the documents that is referenced in the link you've shared was the last time I tried to engage, and the experience was *horrendous*. My good-faith contributions were flat-out rejected by an opinionated tech mini-lord, and your name is on the doc. That's not "protocol development" or consensus building.

@evan @cwebber I feel like one day we should have a beer again. My "same picture" take has been (for many, many years) that ActivityPub is two-way RSS with usable identity (even if the standard doesn't admit it). XMPP is the same, and the main innovation from atproto is actually-malleable schemas. Private data will bring it in-line with AP, while perf. optimizations will work the other direction. All asides, though: I care about what the people want, not what the computers want. ❤️

@blaine @cwebber Your take on the topology is spot on, and there's a traceable lineage from polled RSS to pushed RSS to OStatus to ActivityPub. I think AP supports innovation through different schemas, but it really requires supporting the AP API. See https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams/Primer/Extensions for examples.

@cwebber Indeed, global like counts and trending hashtags are only useful for the advertising industry.

@cwebber I actually do like the PDS part of bluesky, and I like the DID part except for the fact that it's fake. PDSes that can talk to each other via activitypub sounds highly desirable to me.

@blaine @cwebber this is the AP Webfinger profile, right? I remember this.
I just re-read the issue comment history. It's weird that I didn't reply anywhere in here, given that I was tagged. I am sorry that your idea didn't get into the doc, even as a future enhancement. It seems like a useful feature and part of the point of Webfinger.
I opened some new issues on that repo recently. I'm going to reopen this one, if you don't mind. It seems like a really good topic for discussion.

You should check wafrn!
It has blue sky and activitypub support.

gabboman@app.wafrn.net mm using PWA as an excuse to hand wave away slow page loads is so 2010s :smirk_cat:
NodeBB is a PWA and loads plenty fast, although there is a server side rendering component there.
-
2 seconds for the initial load when there is a PWA update is not bad.

@blaine @cwebber Anyways, I'm sorry your experience there was horrendous, especially since I had encouraged you to participate. As one of the authors of that report, I should have been more careful to make sure your suggestion was included. I apologize for not doing a better job; I'll try to learn from the experience to do better in the future.

@irelephant @cwebber The cosocial page loaded so fast I actually couldn't successfully stopwatch it.
-
@irelephant @cwebber when i click the ⋯ next to this post, then click "open original page", and i start a stopwatch the moment i see the new tab open, i see:
- a picture of a bug and a sentence of text.
- the sentence of text is replaced with "did you know nachos aren't even mexican".
- a skeleton of the wafrn layout, and a throbber.
- eventually, the post.Final time on stopwatch: 2.26 seconds.
I do the same thing on a cosocial post: https://cosocial.ca/@evan/115220440152189152
Result: Under 0.5 seconds.
