Evan ProdromouSeeking interop testing for geosocial ActivityPub client Hey, all! I’m seeking some help testing an application I whipped up for the Geosocial task force of the W3C Social Web Community Group. It’s called <a href="https://checkin.swf.pub/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://checkin.swf.pub/</a> , and it’s a barebones checkin service, similar to Swarm, but implemented as a pure Web client. You can watch the application in action. <a href="https://videopress.com/v/zCMu0OeZ?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://videopress.com/v/zCMu0OeZ?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true</a> It logs into your account on an ActivityPub server using OAuth 2.0.

This isn't just a matter of who's in charge; it's a problem with the thing itself. Forcing users to adhere to a tight character limit, discouraging link culture, preventing people from editing their own posts, steering people into sharing things they hate, incentivizing rage bait with trending feeds, subjecting people to decontextualized encounters, encouraging conflict by discouraging tags, and leaving users powerless to clean up the resulting mess—all of this is bad shape.

moduluxI'm having a few thoughts on social norms. I'm used to IRC and Usenet, where a channel or group is understood to be an open forum and, when people make a statement, it is seen as normal for anyone else, acquainted or not, to respond to it, even tangentially.But on more social-network-style graph-based communications where the flow is determined by a follow edge between nodes or something like it, a lot of people find it disturbing or invasive to have strangers pop into their mentions to rebut, add, or jump off from their point.I think this causes a lot of friction and expectation mismatches. I don't think either norm is wrong, though it is useful if people make it clear which one they're expecting.For the avoidance of doubt, I'm an IRC-type person. If I'm posting public or unlisted, I do not mind strangers to disagree with me, add their own twist, or give their own reaction. I will also respect the desire of graph people who don't want me to do that to them.<a href="https://node.isonomia.net/tags/fediculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediculture</a> @irc <a href="https://node.isonomia.net/tags/cyber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cyber</a> <a href="https://node.isonomia.net/tags/socialnetworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialNetworking</a>
