Comment on Change My Mind: The Fediverse is not as connected as were told, and it's splintering even more.

It’s a shame this is being downvoted, because I think these are intersting topics to discuss. A while back I found this article which talks about similar ideas; it’s is from a few years ago but I think makes points that are still valid. It talks about how there is a lot of ambiguity in ActivityPub, and there aren’t really standardized ways for different implementations to interact - a lot of it is ad hoc, and as you pointed out, doesn’t always work well, or may work better in one direction than the other. Hopefully it will become more standardized in the future and remove some of the ambiguity.

It’s been downvotes because it was posted multiple times (misunderstanding/technical error) but I agree. Each of the posts have different replies so it’s a shame we can’t merge them into one excellent thread.

Thanks for your kind response, it really was not intention to upset anyone or badmouth the fediverse, it was more of a frustration from what might just be a misunderstanding of how the Fediverse / ActivityPub network actually connects and interacts, vs. what they show on wikipedia and some other sites / videos when doing research on what the fediverse is and how it works, exactly.

PS: Looked at the article and wow, it’s a bit high in dev-talk, so can’t really grasp what’s being said, unfortunately. :-/
