Hi! As you all probably know, I’m ActivityPub co-editor.
I’d like to understand if there are specific things that would be challenging for Diaspora to adopt ActivityPub. It seems to me the things that the relevant bits raised on this thread are:
- lack of signatures on objects: valid criticism, though we’re starting to see some convergence on the right approaches in practice (at minimum, http signatures across http requests; maybe linked data signatures to sign the objects themselves)
- It’s a lot of work to rewrite and map concepts (understandable)
Are there other things? It would be good to know and discover issues before we hit the point where changes can’t be made.
