Technical Discussion

This is the discussion thread for the draft FEP-baf5: Administrator Collection

I received a security vulnerability report regarding NodeBB’s handling of Update and Delete activities.

FEP-8b32 (Object Integrity Proofs) is getting updated: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/839

Arnold Schrijver (@smallcircles) just published a fairly long thinkpiece on the future of ActivityPub and the fediverse and how we could achieve a grassroots improvement of the standards. It's well worth a read!

So, an interesting issue came up in the #Fedify repo that I’ve been thinking about: [#629].

FEP website now displays the number of implementations for each implementable proposal:

NodeBB federates out Note or Article depending on the length of the content. While this by-and-large works, the article logic does not encourage as much discussion as expected because a summary is generated so as to provide something for microblog-style software to show (otherwise, it would only show the title (name) and a URL to the forum.)

Hey @fentiger@zotum.net, I was debugging something @thisismissem sent me a couple days back, and in the process of doing so discovered that Zotum.net serves context with activities!

Threaded applications often have the need to move and remove content between groups/communities for curation purposes (i.e. resolving miscategorization, spam, etc.)

Moving contexts (aka topics/threads) between audiences (aka categories/communities) should be something that can be communicated outward.

Alright it's late and i need to go to bed, but here's a draft FEP to do full account migration with posts and whatever other kinda objects you want to bring with you. It's a trivial expansion of existing ActivityPub/streams systems and supports gradual migration as it's implemented and after an account migration. It should be possible to migrate pretty much everything this way, both private and public objects.

Just wrapped up a session at FediForum where snarfed.org@fed.brid.gy and quillmatiq@mastodon.social discussed FEP-fffd: Proxy Objects as a way to link disparate cross-network objects together.
