@Gargron@mastodon.social was dogpiled by Bluesky shills but he's right about everything.
Imagine claiming that you're a decentralized network and then adding a geoblock because of some draconian "law" in some random country.

I was reading the Fediverse Report β #128 post by @laurenshof@indieweb.social and several sentences caught my attention:
Ghostβs connection to the fediverse currently means that following a Ghost blog from your fediverse account results in seeing a post with the article headline and a URLThat's how Mastodon displays
Article objects: only a headline and a URL (see issue #24079). However, Mastodon is the only fediverse platform that removes content from articles. According to funfedi.dev data, others don't remove content:Fediverse platform developers (including Mastodon, Ghost, WordPress, WriteFreely and more) are collaborating on creating a space on the fediverse that suites the need of blogging and articles wellI keep seeing this again and again, it increasingly looks like an attempt to take credit for solving the problem with articles in ActivityPub. But the problem doesn't exist, it is literally a flaw in a single implementation that can be fixed with a single line of code.
silverpillMy #ActivityPub developer guide moved to another repository: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/ap-next/src/branch/main/guide.md
It started as a FEP, but has evolved into something bigger.
About the repository:
As stated in the readme, ActivityPub Next is a project dedicated to evolving the ActivityPub protocol.
Currently it only contains the developer guide, but I think that more content will be added over time.
