    I poked around the Activity Stream docs a while back.

    And… as a pretend expert :) started wondering: In the big bad messy real world (super serious business), how does one on such a decentralized (social) network thoroughly:

    1. Block specific users from viewing
    2. Block specific users from following
    3. Block specific users from interacting
    4. Delete previous local/remote content from specific users following
    5. Delete previous local/remote interactions from specific users interacting

    ActivityPub is an open/transparent protocol (amazing) but for adoption, the expectation/reality of many users online anywhere (even public networks) is favourable discoverability not discoverability itself… however contradictory/debatable. That’s probably easy/possible centralized but stupid hard/impossible decentralized.

    The IndieWeb’s is a rather sophisticated syndication philosophy. Too bad I’ve got such a disdain for social media that I’d never explore it personally.

    It’s a good approach for working on other people’s stuff though: think Facebook’s (Meta) instant RSS articles (dies April 2023), podcast feeds, or any other (kinda) bi–directional site syndication mechanism.

    The hypothetical outcomes/incentives of POSSE if it was done by everyone is an entertaining thought experiment.

    It seems that.. from talking to a few people via email, basic feed discovery with rel alternates are ineffective. Simple redirects work better for organic discovery.

    1. /atom -> /path/to/real/{atom,rss}/feed
    2. /rss -> /path/to/real/{atom,rss}/feed
    3. /feed -> /path/to/real/{atom,rss}/feed

    This AI stuff is kinda exciting.. in a “watching danger from afar” kind of way. What kind of feedback loop does it have? Does it finish off the Internet content–wise? The data has to be huge and ultra fuzzy — so someone has to add semantics/structure right or is it automatic?

    The Internet is already gamified to an extent… but can it completely auto–generate videos? What kind of exploits will be used against the input? So many questions. It’s like the ultimate frankenstein pandora’s box thought experiment of the most bizarre outcomes :-)
