FYI, @activitypubtestsuite - while we work to bring ActivityPubTest Suite 1.0 back to life, it looks like @dansup is working on this which feels very promising for a new tool. https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/p/561391/Really-excited-for-the-activityPub-developer-tools-I-ve-been-working

@activitypubblueskybridge - as we look to rebuild the old test suite, and the compatibility report, look at the old one cached here in the WaybackMachine: https://web.archive.org/web/20221031085815/https://test.activitypub.dev/

And here is the first cached page for the tool: https://web.archive.org/web/20210119152553/https://test.activitypub.dev/tests/new

@rmdes @activitypubblueskybridge

Brilliant. BTW, if we created something short term like a Patreon to help support this work to you or anyone else who actively helps on this project... would that be of assist?

@rmdes @activitypubblueskybridge

I'll buy the domain we use as a temp, but I would think long term the name should be test.activitypub.rocks to mirror Webmention.rocks and as an homage to the original.

@rmdes @activitypubblueskybridge

For the final version if it all comes together - likely. Meanwhile I’ll buy a temp domain akin to ActivityPubRocksBeta…

So folks on this list can support this first effort. Maybe set up a BuyMeACoffee for our group support? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/

Adding that to the google doc…

@activitypubtestsuite - question for the group: even if we were not to use it’s codebase, is there value in getting the old ActivityPub.rocks test suite live again? Just to see the old test in action?

@tchambers@indieweb.social avatar

@rmdes @activitypubtestsuite

Ricardo: ✊ Thank you! Can anyone help point him to the best code to try to resuscitate the web site ActivityPub.rocks 1.0 test suite page? Or a better later fork?

@rmdes @activitypubtestsuite

Is something here? https://gitlab.com/dustyweb/activitypub.rocks/-/tree/master/

@rmdes @activitypubtestsuite @cwebber I’ll ask some others who might be a person or two removed from those who might know.

@steve @rmdes @activitypubtestsuite

Yeah any choice we make on test suite version 2.0 should consider using languages and tech easy to maintain and with a wide developer base….

tchambers,
@tchambers@indieweb.social avatar

@rmdes @steve @activitypubtestsuite

Seems like the answer is “some things in the works” in a couple places…”

With the upcoming Fediverse service, there has been a, well, robust discussion of how to avoid threats looming. Those advocating mass-preemptive defederation make three cases for it.

➡️ To avoid data mining ...which Defederation does virtually zero to avoid any big tech entity scraping all the fedi public social graph today - Want proof?
see: https://is.gd/q8U2pv

The next argument is about poorly moderated P92 user posts and ad spam.
Which I'll discuss next.

@ophiocephalic They said that to Linux developers to. Literally.

tchambers,
@tchambers@indieweb.social avatar

@ophiocephalic That is my point. It outcompted the richest corporations in the world.

PHP outcompted the biggest company in the world (MSFT) with "Active Server Pages."

Podcasting outcompeted and is thriving, despite attempts by Spotify one of the largest corporations in the world to quash and control it.

@ophiocephalic
If they did a big push to their 1.6 billion IG users (who knows if they will but they could) literally days later they would still be larger then the entire monthly active user base of the Fedi - even if we did a full preemptive block.

Both and announced they were joining the well before the started gaining steam.

We also can’t forget that is also joining the .

And I suspect more forum software will soon follow suit.

Why? Because the just validated that is useful for forum software.

@atomicpoet Jimmy Wales said the next version of his Wiki-based social network would support (not at launch but on roadmap) and suggested it would be a replacement for some uses of Reddit (and Twitter)

@tchambers@indieweb.social avatar

For everyone in space: we created this mastodon-compatible Frenidica group for discussing the build-out of a robust ActivityPub test suite, akin to http://webmtion.rocks and the now gone activitypub.rocks...

Just follow this account to join ➡️ @activitypubtestsuite

...and anything you post mentioning that account name will reflect to everyone else following it.

See you there!

The magazine I creted for - and that had zero users 4 days ago, now appears to be the 2nd most popular one on kbin.social, with just over 8,700 subscribers:

This seems very important and worth ongoing study:

“Once again, results suggest a rise in diversity as the 10 biggest server contribution to the Fediverse is reduced by more than 10%. So, even if the biggest servers are accumulating more users, it seems that the Fediverse is becoming more decentralized.”
