@danielDaniel Gultsch Do you think there’s still room to improve things? What could be done here - I didn’t dig into the details so I’m not sure if it’s a totally lost cause (in which case, ignore me!)?
@lornajane I don't know, hopefully not. My bitterness mostly stems from the fact that I'm a "small fediverse developer", meaning that I built fediverse servers that are not in the mainstream.
My software is making use of some features in the ActivityPub and Activity vocabulary that are spec compliant but they get rejected by Mastodon servers.
When I pointed out these problem(s) on the Mastodon bug tracker they weren't acknowledged, it was argued that they're bad features, etc. Around some of them I could work around (like requiring webfinger resource resolvers), but around others I couldn't and I won't. 🤷
If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://metalhead.club/users/mariusor/statuses/115599371861084099 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
