What does this even mean?

The client app will be compatible with Mastodon servers.
Mastodon client apps will be compatible with the P92 server.
The P92 server will send content out to Mastodon servers.
The P92 server will import content from Mastodon servers.

Could be any of these, or some combination or nothing. I wish we'd stop calling things apps that aren't apps.

@paul Considering Instagram has never wanted client apps they don’t control, seems unlikely there is a client API compatible with Mastodon apps. I assume this is server to server ActivityPub. Anything open would be interesting, though!

@manton I'm open minded, just hope whatever it is, goes both ways. Not just hoovering up federated data.

@paul @manton I guess you weren't there for the XMPP rug pull?
