My goal is to average 1 post and 7 comments a week. I started late, and not there yet, but hope to get there within the next month. Do you have any goals or plans on building the Fediverse?
I heard there was a plan to do a monthly Piefed “hackathon” to improve Piefed, but I think that was mostly for translation. Is there any update on that or any other interesting plans out there to improve any part of the Fediverse?
I think you’re looking for either WordPress’s ActivityPub plugin or this: https://activitypub.ghost.org/
NOTHING will ever convince me to base my career-viability on wordpress, which is PHP based.
https://whydoesitsuck.com/why-does-php-suck/ ( notice that TRUE == TRUE == FALSE in PHP, which I consider intolerable, in critical-infrastructure )
Sorry.
PieFed’s Python based ( I wish it had been Julia-based: both less-ugly AND higher-performance, by engineering-of-the-language-to-the-CPU-architectures ),
& doing it in a good high-level language means that dev-effort can go into getting the architecture right, instead of slogging-through the low-level details, which Rust-based platforms force.
Until the architecture’s sorted, I think that Haskell would probably be the ultimate domain-cracking/prototyping language for developing such a platform.
Wordpress, though? Zed Shaw ended up HATING it, & I tend to agree with people who value effectiveness in infrastructure, as he does.
It solved the problem of getting everybody dependent on it, but it didn’t solve either the security problems, or the correct-code problem, or the properly enabling-people-who-want-structured-publishing-with-discussion-and-karma-systems-and-federation-and-different-kinds-of-communities problem.
Same as Microslop’s beloved no-keyboard-warrior/ALL mouse-based paradigm: helped some, & hobbled others.
Each paradigm whether platform or language helps some, & hobbles others.
Wordpress needs to be obsoleted from our world, yesterday, forever, in my view.
So does PHP.
