Do you have a better protocol in mind, or any fixes that could be made to make ActivityPub better?
The AT protocol that Bluesky runs on is designed to address this specific limitation of ActivityPub.
Yes, the matrix protocol is very mature and perfectly suited for forums.
do you think that the matrix protocol may be a bit too heavy for this sort of usecase?
Do you know of any forum-like websites that use the matrix protocol?
i'm going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel here, so bear with me:
yeah i dunno, there are others like somix and morum but they seem more early stages.
I really appreciate the links! So it looks like matrix has mainly been focused on the chat room side of things and another downside is that you need some sort of translation layer to connect a matrix thing to an activity pub thing. Definitely gives a lot to think about. I’ve been trying to decide where I should donate my time to doing dev work at but the answer appears to be “it’s complicated”
