@silverpill If you think there's a link that should be on activitypub.rocks, you can open a ticket here:

https://github.com/swicg/activitypub.rocks/issues

I'm glad to hear that you don't think of AP-next as a fork!

@evan There link was there before you removed it. And I have better things to do than opening tickets

@silverpill OK! I think you know how to get this changed if you want to. Good luck with your work.

@evan @silverpill I see it was @j12t who removed it. Maybe he can add it back? Seems like a trivial thing to do.

@liaizon they way to do this is the same way it got removed: whoever cares about it needs to file an issue, make their case in the issue (it does not have to be elaborate) and we see what comments they get. If there are no objections, and it is a small change (which it would be) it gets done. If there are objections, we need to resolve those eg by discussion in the regularly scheduled meeting. That’s what the TF is for.

add link to Silverpill's "ActivityPub for developers" guide back · Issue #94 · swicg/activitypub.rocks

Adding the link to "ActivityPub for developers" back to the website is a small ask. Silverpill has been working tirelessly on AP stuff for many many years and I see no reason this link should have ...

@liaizon are you planning to come to tomorrow’s website TF meeting?

@silverpill it does seem weird they would use that justification to remove the link. thought at first they might be consolidating for W3C-only resources, but there are non-W3C guides under the `Documentation` section (which is where I would guess the `ap-next` guide would also fit).

outside of clarifying underspecified pieces of the protocol, and highlighting some useful FEPs, how is the `ap-next` guide a "fork"?

@elle This guide is just a summary of what I have learned while working on my ActivityPub project.

@silverpill @elle Yes, I had a read of the ap-next guide and don't see anything controversial in it!

You've just documented the current ways the AP is being used in the real world.

@rimu @elle I think the real reason is the association with another thing I am working on: nomadic identity. Some people don't like it, although it is not clear why. It is an optional protocol extension, and similar features in ATProto protocol don't cause any controversy.

When working on ActivityPub, a major goal for me was making sure that the protocol wasn't so HTTP-based that we couldn't add content-addressing. So I believe this is possible to add in a spec compa...

@silverpill Is ActivityPub starting to get into that boring factional infighting too?

silverpill

@silverpill@mitra.social last wk.

@caohuak ActivityPub always had factions but Twitter migration of 2022 brought people with LinkedIn profiles who immediately seized control of the dormant SocialCG and have been trying to suppress grassroots development since then
