Molly Whitepersonally i'm delighted that "live-tooting" is catching on.

Blake Leonard@molly0xfff Personally I'd prefer a system that allows for live, one-way sharing around a specific topic, sorta like Telegram channels but expendable, linked to some posting account (either the actual author or an org name) and not on Telegram. #ActivityPub could do this but I think something closer to RSS+WebSockets could be better suited.
Misintelligence's Live Center currently does this by polling an API every 60 seconds that is backed by a Matrix room.
Chris CarlinWould RSS+WebSockets be a push serivce, though? I hate the idea of polling APIs.
Although pushing individually to instances has its own issues with scalability...
Anyway, my immediate reaction is that maybe another solution would be better, but if ActivityPub can already do it, is the other solution sufficiently better to justify having another solution to maintain.
What do you think?
@crcarlin
Websockets maintains an active stream, so it isn't polling.
