@npdoty @jeffreycwitt @csarven is @SocialWebWG working on both WebMention and Linked Data Notification? Do they interoperate? (twitter.com/_/status/827590636442312704)
#
geppy Loqi: Yes to the former https://www.w3.org/TR/ldn/#social-web-working-group
#
geppy Interoperability requires a bridge, I believe (but I'm still waking up)
#
aaronpk hehe Loqi is just a bot telling us about that tweet
#
geppy hahaha, oops. Not my first time making that mistake. Thanks. :)
#
Loqi hehe
#
@imgeppy @npdoty @jeffreycwitt @csarven Yes, @SocialWebWG is working on both: https://www.w3.org/TR/ldn/#social-web-working-group (twitter.com/_/status/827592158106513408)
#
geppy I'm looking to get started on AS 2.0 today, is that spec still in need of implementations?
#
aaronpk definitely! and implementation feedback!
#
geppy Shiny. Thanks!

evanminto What’s the general outlook on Mastodon/GNU Social in these parts?
#
evanminto I’m currently looking into adding ActivityPub and potentially some other features (IndieWeb stuff maybe?) to Mastodon.
#
aaronpk ah cool, we've been trying to slowly add things to mastodon to make it work with other indieweb sites
#
evanminto Oh do you contribute to it?
#
aaronpk not me personally
#
aaronpk the big next step would be for it to send and receive webmentions. they already merged patches to add microformats markup
#
aaronpk https://indieweb.org/Mastodon
#
evanminto It would seem like a really good candidate for IndieAuth integration too, but I guess IndieAuth.com doesn’t support rel-me URLs with non-/ paths?
#
aaronpk indieauth.com doesn't care about paths, and does a pretty good job at handling crazy redirects people throw at it too
#
aaronpk as long as the rel=me things reciprocate it's fine
#
evanminto Hm, maybe I misunderstood then.
#
evanminto I’ll have to take another look.
#
aaronpk the main issue people run into is they want to use a path to sign in but then they don't want to point their twitter bio at the path URL or something
#
evanminto I was running into problems with a rel-me URL like http://example.com/evanminto
#
aaronpk nah it should work
#
aaronpk plenty of people log in to the indieweb.org wiki with a path URL
#
evanminto OK, thanks. I must be doing something wrong in my implementation then.
#
aaronpk another tricky one people run into is when they have both http and https on their domain and don't redirect one to the other
#
evanminto Anyway, yeah, Webmentions would be great in Mastodon!
#
evanminto I don’t see any reason why something can’t implement GNU Social AND WebMentions AND ActivityPub. It just makes the network even bigger.
#
aaronpk for sure
