[prtksxna] Do Mastadon (and other fediverse software) only let you do twitter-like posting? (no essay or events etc?)

#
[KevinMarks] Mastodon is note only. I think pleroma does articles too. There are media specialised ones too

#
[fluffy] Does anyone know of anything like Disqus except which allows making some comment threads NOT show up on random discovery pages?

#
[fluffy] Ages ago (like before Disqus was even a thing) I was thinking about building a self-hostable Disqus-like and right now that’s feeling pretty tempting again.

#
[prtksxna] [KevinMarks] I see. So their protocols allow for other things, the clients (Mastodon for instance) have chosen not to have them?
#
[prtksxna] In most indieweb websites I see a variety of post types. That isn't the case in the fediverse as much? Or am I not looking at the right places.
#
[prtksxna] (sorry if this discussion doesn't belong to this channel, happy to move it you point me to where it should be)

#
[Lewis_Cowles] [fluffy] are you saying to only include Disqus on pages which are blog posts? or modify your disqus activity feed? https://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/07/02/disqus-now-lets-you-see-who-upvoted-your-comments-lets-you-hide-your-activity-and-more/ might help
#
aaronpk sounds like another good point to add to the criticism section [fluffy]! https://indieweb.org/Disqus
#
[KevinMarks] ActivityPub includes activity streams, which was a very inclusive kitchen sink spec, trying to unify a lot of use cases (eg Jira outputs activity streams) mastodon was originally on OStatus which is more about notes

#
[snarfed] the mod's reply on fluffy's post seems pretty reasonable. they've deliberately designed it to be 100% public, so they don't current support anything less. (i'm obviously partial to intentional design decisions like that w/bridgy.)
#
[snarfed] so, maybe a feature request, but not really a flaw or bug per se
#
aaronpk definitely worth pointing out though!
