↳ In-reply-to » @prologic It seems to me this distinction is pedantic and mostly at the server level. I have a mastodon account and I have no impression that I am being forced to read things I don't want to read. I follow the people I want to follow, I mute or block the people I don't ever want to see. It's almost exactly the same reading experience as I have on yarn--different people and content obviously, but very similar functionally speaking. I think there are other issues that are of more concern.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci As an example of the type of problem I’m seeing (even at small scale, and it’s only been a few weeks of things working):

My pod has been posted this Create+Note from an Activity Pub actor that no-one here seems to follow:

$ bat https://twtxt.net/api/v1/debug/db "Token:$YARND_TOKEN" | jq -r '. | map_values(@base64d) | {Key: .key, Value: .value | fromjson} | .Value.Following | select(. != null) | .[]' | sort -u | grep -i VaporMarxPlus | wc -l
0

This is terrible 🤦‍♂️ I don’t trust the protocol at this point.
