"soooo what else do we need to do to make this Blacktwitter, because I think we should do more of that"

https://fire.asta.lgbt/notes/ackrs97gn2fb02hz

I'd say: follow Black folks who are active in the fediverse, lift up their voices, report any harassment you see in their replies.

Make the people who are already here feel welcome, they'll do the rest.

I have spending time thinking of ways you could automatically create ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data from HTML and Markdown

Most people will probably write in plain UTF-8 text, or Markdown, or HTML

How to do you take that and get it onto the Fediverse and Social Web‽

This isn't just a question of how to technically do it — but also a question of user-experience (UX)

I.e., what are "good" ways of doing it‽

The other thing that the #Guppe incident showed us is that the #Fediverse seriously needs the #Nomadic protocol.

Let's say the Fediverse understands the protocol: just move to a new domain, inform all instances "this is the new domain, automatically re-subscribe please", done. Life goes on for regular people.

I am not saying it is that easy or that's how exactly it will work. But it could've been avoided. Right now, entire communities are gone, many who were relying on it are now disconnected. (Then again, I can argue that it's time to clean the membership since many accounts are also stagnant.)

So, when? #ActivityPub2 ?

So, what would be a good user-experience (UX) for power-users be — in a system that automatically creates ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data from HTML and Markdown‽

One thought I had is that power-users could explicitly mark what data from their HTML gets into the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data (if they want to).

I'll explain —

Obviously, beginners are NOT going to do this, but — some power-users may want this level of control.

There are different way this could be done, but — one way might be that power-users could use RDFa to explicitly specify what data from the HTML gets into the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data.

Again, beginners and typical users would NOT do this.

But a power-user might want to.

Here is an example —

I think one mistake some software does is — they create a good experience for beginners, but have a poor experience for power-users.

And keep in mind that — some beginners become power-users later on.

I think it is important to design for power-users, too, in addition to beginners.

What are "good" ways of automatically creating ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data from HTML and Markdown‽

I think the answer depends on who, for example, is writing HTML, and how they are writing it.

For example, is this a typical user? Is this a power-user? Do they know HTML? And if they do know HTML, how well do they know it? Etc?

I will show you what I mean —

If a typical user is writing in Markdown, and their Markdown file has a level-1 heading right at the beginning, then —

That could go into the ActivityPub "name" field.

And, similar could be done for HTML, too.

...

But what about power users —
