Should we create a second activitypub, the general goals would be to kick Meta/Mastodon out of the workgroup, mastodons goal seems to be to drive EEE by ushering facebook so they can “improve” activitypub. I feel like we need to splinter off an continue development without meta
I mean Nostr exists, and it’s a pretty neat architecture where the clients do the heavy lifting in terms of authentication and content while connecting to multiple relay nodes, and the relay nodes know nothing other than that they’re relaying
To what end? What would that accomplish that defederation from Meta instances can’t already do? Also, why are you targeting the entire Mastodon platform instead of the specific instances that choose not to defederate?
In short, no.
No, just defederate
this wouldn’t solve any problem that can’t be solved with the current implementation of activitypub and would cause fragmentation in the community for both the userbase and developers. why fork when you can defederate?
plus you seem to be talking about mastodon servers as a single entity, it is not. every server can decide to federate or defederate with meta autonomously.
tdlr: no
Meta is most likely planning on adding propriety extensions to the fediverse kinda like how android is Foss but pretty much alls apps depend on Google
You should stop skipping school.
