@mat I think probably Meta's motivation originally was to establish trust and accountability for their new Twitter replacement where they had none. So there is every chance they will change their minds I agree.
@mat Interesting if it is mere coincidence, but I cannot get #Threads accounts to follow @Flipboard accounts at all #interoperability #activitypub

Apparently, Bookwyrm stores quotations with:
type="Quotation"
And if one Bookwyrm server talks to another Bookwyrm server, then — the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams representation of the quotation will have:
type="Quotation"
...
BUT — if a non-Bookwyrm server talks to a Bookwyrm server, then — the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams representation of the quotation will have:
type="Note"
#ActivityPub#ActivityStreams#FediDev#Fediverse#ObjectTypeNote#ObjectTypeQuotation
There are examples of the #ActivityPub extensions #Bookwyrm makes, which are on the (commonly taken) path of protocol decay and whack-a-mole programming by their #LinkedData non-conformance, unfortunately.
Yet that means there's opportunity for #FEP's if there are more #interoperability parties. 😃
Here's an example of Quotation, which has no LD context:
https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/bookwyrm/tests/data/ap_quotation.json
And here of Edition which is incorrectly placed in #ActivityStreams context:

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting @HennaVirkkunen , the #EU Commission Vice President in charge of Tech Sovereignty, #Security & #Democracy, at the invitation of the Austrian Chancellery and Digital State Secretary Alexander Pröll, at their summit on 🇪🇺 #digitalsovereignty
Together with @c3wien, @WikimediaAT, @epicenter_works & @dpgalliance we are calling for open protocols & #interoperability to be strengthened when building public digital infrastructure ✨

Thank you, @inselchaos for the warm welcome yesterday!
Together with @llas, we gave a talk about our work on the #DMA, #FreeSoftware and #Interoperability and we ( @fsfe) will be here with a booth for the whole day today.
What a nice kick-off for the first #inselchaos25! Thank you to all creatures who made it possible :D

New: #DeAppleification project 🍏
Good hardware, if overpriced ✔️
Bad software & services, deliberately lacking #interoperability ❌
Today, I shut off Apple's closed #iMessage service entirely. Now using #Beeper as a universal inbox, with #Signal, #WhatsApp & #Slack DMs ✅
Goal: shutting off all 🍏 services will make it much easier to switch to cheaper hardware in future. Which is why Apple’s entire business model depends on tying their hardware to their software & services
Social media is an "unhealthy online environment" 🤒
The problem lies with the business model that underpins these monopolistic platforms: they promote ragebait to rake in the money.
ORG's @jim told BBC News what needs to be done:
✅ Competition
✅ User empowerment
✅ Decentralisation

In the 2nd topic above I describe the conceptual architecture as:
> "a distributed network of addressible actors for the exchange of social activities”
There is a full domain model there, and this conceptual architecture conveys the full promise and potential for #ActivityPub based social networking. All the various gears and mechanics that make the protocol tick have a place in it.
It is a bit of a meta-model, as it is not directly basis for impl in code, but input for specs.
There's Babylonian confusion of speech in all #ActivityPub related discussions that occur across the #fediverse. We have the #SocialWeb protocol specification itself, then the reality-on-the-wire where gaps and optional technology choices are implemented. And where protocol decay and post-facto #interoperability (follow-the-Mastodon) murky the waters. Leading to misunderstandings, wrong expectations, etc.
An example is in how we talk on Nomadic Identity:

More #Geosocial coming..
https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience/#geosocial-networking
@bonfire request feedback on #UX designs for #Bonfire Geosocial.
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/please-provide-feedback-on-bonfire-geosocial-ux-designs/5427
The designs may also be inspiring to other devs working on #Geo functionality for the #fediverse and there's opportunity to align approaches for max #interoperability.
People are highly encouraged to start related more general discussion topics on improving protocol support for geosocial-enabled #ActivityPub platforms in the federated forum categories.
"Most modern consumer #messaging platforms...support end-to-end #encryption, but users today are limited to communicating with contacts who use the same platform. This is why Google is strongly supportive of regulatory efforts that require #interoperability" https://security.googleblog.com/2023/07/an-important-step-towards-secure-and.html

So many #BigTech alternative services are finally getting to the point they are mainstream consumer-ready - which is essential if they are going to grow into serious challengers 👏
