@dym not sure. I would love that as an option though! The way mastodon and other fedi instances treat webfinger might vary accross the board. Hypothetically any username @staticpub.mauve.moe should resolve to the same thing
I just want to slide in here and comment: "The data" is terribly vague here. What you get from ActivityPub is at worst: the likes, the shares, the posts, the social graph.
What you don't get is data like: How long did this person spend looking at something? Or more pointedly said. There has been this screenshot of Threads app permissions circulating. Consuming the firehose from ActivityPub gives you lots of data, but still a lot less than you would get with all these permissions.
He he he 😈 I got my first statically published blog to load! Still need to work on the inbox server and get post resolving wired up but I'm happy with the progress so far. @mauve@staticpub.mauve.moe

One limitation is you can only #webfigner one account per domain.
This is being published using #DistributedPress and is part of our upcoming #ActivityPub integration.
@glitchontwitch Yeah big mood. One hope I have is that the non-algorithmic nature of fedi stuff could lead to better RoI per user once there's enough users for that to be viable.
I totally agree that numbers and potential customers seeing your work is important for people to make their livelyhoods on social media.
@glitchontwitch I have a feeling Threads users aren't generally up to date on the state of federated software. From the looks of things the network effects of being able to bring your instagram follow graph with you outweighs any feature needs.
it's genuinely wild how we heard nothing but long winded platitudes on how innovative silicon valley was for like 20 straight years and it's all culminated in a bunch of the dullest, most petulant billionaires imaginable all just copying each other's version of a very basic chat app
@decentral1se kinda like hyperbeedeebee but with prolly trees and go :P https://github.com/RangerMauve/ipld-prolly-indexer/tree/initial
@orsinium Nice, thanks for the info. I'll add it to my TODO list. Thankfully in this case I just forgot to close a channel in a very stupid way. :P
A programmer is just a machine that turns #Golang code into deadlocks. :P
@thisismissem @renchap it's similar to how desktop gui apps can have separate "main threads" with all their logic and renderer threads that talk to the main thread to get data in and out.
More #JavaScript folks should consider using the SharedWorker API in their app. Especially if you have particularly heavy initializing code.
E.g. instead of Element loading everything from scratch each time you open it in a tab, it could have the bulk of the resources shared across tabs in a worker and have speedier inits that don't block the render thread.

When I started on Mastodon, people would advise me to “only Boost posts.” Since there’s no algorithm that places a value on Favorites, “only Boosts have value.”
I disagree completely.
When people Favorite my posts, they unwittingly introduce themselves to me. I have discovered some very interesting people that I may not have if they didn’t Favorite my posts.
Keep ‘em coming. It’s nice to meet you.
Does anybody on here know of an instance dedicated to Black queer folks? I'm not necessarily planning on moving but I am curious since apart from blacktwitter.io and wibblur I haven't even seen much that's even focused on Black communities. And if there isn't one/aren't many... Is that something people would be interested in? 👀 Edit: well, I went ahead and spent most of the past day making one. https://blackqueer.life is the name. Check it out!
@AndreShouldBeWriting @cblgh Yeah the qntm books might be up your alley then.
@cblgh @AndreShouldBeWriting OMG yes strong +1 for the "There is No Anti-Memetics Division". It's very much written like a bunch of short stories that tie into a larger one. Also Ra by qntm is v good. Also also Fine Structure was my first read by that author and I loved it. https://qntm.gumroad.com/l/ELFop
Also +1 to the Hainish Cycle stuff!
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
