@pfefferle@mastodon.social When do you think we get the first Cambridge Analytica or Rohingya crisis using ActivityPub and the Social Web foundation, seeing as Meta is also a member?
- @mojala@mastodon.online ActivityPub is an open spec, Meta does not have to join a foundation to implement it :)
@pfefferle@mastodon.social I look forward to seeing this federated future! Ironically, the main reason I signed up with @wordpressdotcom was because of the #ActivityPub plugin.
I think with a few tweaks, #WordPress could become the super app within the #Fediverse.
I do hope the #BuddyPress & #bbPress teams jump on board, as greater ActivityPub integration could help rejuvenate these social WordPress “projects” (as they would provide competitive balance against #Facebook & #Reddit).
- @darnell @wordpressdotcom @tchambers I would assume that bbpress already works out of the box, simply activate all the bbpress custom post types in the AP settings.
  An ironically I had a discussion with the BuddyPress team yesterday 🙂

  let's see how this turns out... BuddyPress will be a really big task!

A little less conversation, a little more action, please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and, baby, satisfy me
Satisfy me, baby
- @matv1@mastodon.social I'm just the dev-guy and we still have to prove that the fediverse has more reach than traditional networks to convince PR and marketing!
  
  @pfefferle@mastodon.social I understand how it works, dont worry. It just annoys me sometimes when I see so many companies and orgs that have a lot to say about a healthy web and socials etc and then see the icons at the bottom of their website.
