qoto.org has been re-limited for now on urbanists.social because of the bullshit they're pulling with the United Federation of Instances. Basically they're working with known bad actors to try to pressure instances that have domain blocked them into undoing that. That's not okay. I have reason to believe that will lead to an increase of hateful / fascist users on their server, so they have been limited for the time being.
in particular, the "Nation-State'ification of the Fediverse" section has turned out to be SUPER ON POINT
but also the discussion of how neo-fascists co-opt decentralization language while having no real interest in dispersing authority, the intro to ocaps, etc
but again, I stopped writing because I found it was hard to explain things to people... and demo'ing is better. In the meanwhile, the doc does do a good job of explaining the problem space that the @spritelyinst is solving.
HOWEVER, this is not to say we are "fixing ActivityPub" in two ways:
- the ideas can eventually be ported back to ActivityPub, the spec. however if the heavily-mastodon-flavored version of ActivityPub (MastoPub?) prevails I'm not sure it can be upended - our main focus is on technical pieces built on OCapN, but activitypub backfill has been long planned. it's in the future though. it's not the critical path.
