The Programming LinguistI've been getting a lot of requests lately, both in DMs and publicly, about implementing ActivityPub into AudioPub. I would like to address these requests here because I'm getting quite a lot of them.
AudioPub is going to stay independent. That's a decision I've carefully considered, and I believe it's the best path forward for the project's health.
When I open-sourced this project, it wasn't a step towards joining the Fediverse. It was about sharing the code, not changing AudioPub's fundamental nature. The open-source nature of the project does mean you have the choice to fork it and add federation yourself into your instance if that's something you're passionate about.
I like the community here, but the Fediverse culture isn't quite the right fit for AudioPub. Moderation would become overwhelmingly more complex for a single person or even if we get a team in the future. And honestly, it's just not the direction I want for this project.
I hope this clarifies my stance on the matter and the requests stop. Thank you for your understanding, and I'm willing to discuss this if you have something to say.
@meatbag The right decision imo. Thanks for making Audiopub!
Nick Giannak III@meatbag I do hope someone does add it, even if you yourself never use it. Having Fedi support shouldn't mean having to join Fedipact or something like that. If someone is offended, its their choice to defederate from you.
@meatbag alright, at least that's sorted. Also, you know that activity pub integration could be one way as well, right? for example, one could have replies entirely discarded, and when someone follows an account on there, they get posts, rss stile, when that account posts something, nothing more. You don't have to support the entire thing, but still the one way kind of thing would be nice to have
