@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Your thoughts/opinions on Activity Pub integration with Yarn / Tstxt? 🤔
What about you @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club ?
@prologic@twtxt.net good morning. I am uncertain if this would be beneficial or not. On one hand, it would be nice to see twtx show up in my mastodon feed. Sure, on the other hand, I think it would be too much to get them here in yarn social. I like the small audience and group of people around this. It is a limited factor and a limited small nerdy group, but isn’t this why you have developed it? And people are using it? Small groups of people? Of course, you could achieve the same on any mastodon instance, but the deployment stack of mastodon is huge compared to twtx.
I would not want it. Maybe crossposting from twtxt to an activity pup instance is sth I would use.
One other question that I am asking myself, and I think I mentioned that in our email conversations, is the fact if we really need so many interconnected systems and do I or do we want to use so many different systems?
@prologic@twtxt.net Each system was created because there was someone thinking about something that this person was missing from the other systems. Now that we start connecting all these systems back together, do we then need the different systems anymore, or could we only fall back to using one system?
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yes, an option for deliberate cross-posting or POSSE the IndieWeb way is more appealing to me also to keep yarn.social feeling light and clean. In that way your twtxt feed would be the backbone of your own site and then have some middle-ware, which cross-post to your mastodon account and whatever service you fancy to use:
@prologic@twtxt.net I think I’m somewhere in the same camp as @mckinley@twtxt.net etc on this one. There’s still a real purity to what we have here with Yarn/twtxt, so while I’m sure integration of some sort is useful for people, I guess it should be as least impactful on the current system as possible. An adapter or service does sound better rather than yarnd talking directly to it all, if I understand that part of the conversation correctly. I know very little of ActivityPub admittedly though.
