AaronNGray Hi, anyone about, just learning ActivityPub, Activity Streams, RDF, and OWL.

@brandonkelly ↩️ The app itself is decentralized and runs on the ActivityPub protocol, a W3C-recommended standard! (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/)
That means it’s easier for third party apps to get involved, and they don’t have to worry about getting snuffed like Tweetbot and Twitterrific. (EOT) (twitter.com/_/status/1595060042402861058)

@geekdada After talking with @mkohlerdev I'm more amazed by how Mastodon works!
Initially I thought of Mastodon as a replica of Twitter but "decentralized", but it's actually built on an open protocol called https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/. (twitter.com/_/status/1595065842231902210)
# AaronNGray The issue I have with Mastodon is its server is written in Ruby and is very inefficient. And as a result it is not green energywise.
# AaronNGray I am looking at putting together first a Node.js implementation simular to Mastodon as a reference implementation to work from as I find Rails very strange (also) then look at a full RDF based implementation, followed by an implementation in a static language like Rust or C++.
# AaronNGray I am gemming up on all the standard involved first and having a look at the existing implementations that we do have.
# AaronNGray I am compiling a list of links for the whole area too as well which I will probably put on GitHub.
# AaronNGray There are some existing resource lists :- https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ https://activitypub.rocks/
# AaronNGray And a page for implimentors :- https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/pub/guide-for-new-activitypub-implementers
# AaronNGray Activity Streams seems to be the actual protocol used in ActivityPub for communicating between "mailboxes" :- https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/
# AaronNGray Theres also several other standards involved json-ld for example.
# AaronNGray yes
# AaronNGray It would be nice to have protocol implementations in all the main languages adhering to a standard API structure isomorphic to the problem domain.
# AaronNGray With ActivityPub like db and db adapters for main dbs like GraphDB and more traditional DB's like PostgresSQL
# AaronNGray SO ActivityPub as the data model, and ActivityStreams as the communications protocol running over REST
# AaronNGray @Loqi Oh I see your somewhere there already on the Node.js side of things !!! Just seen your website !!!
# AaronNGray Oh maybe not thats WebStreams ?
# AaronNGray How efficient are they
# AaronNGray Activity STreams seem to be HTTP based as default.
# AaronNGray @Loqi Just seen who you are ;)
# AaronNGray @Loqi I am interested in getting RDF & OWL for AtivityPub as well as ActivityStreams, then being able create extensions for supporting comments and nested comments with likes as well.

@rudiseitz ↩️ It IS up and running already. Mastodon implements the ActivityPub protocol introduced by W3C in 2018. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ (twitter.com/_/status/1595091518439686144)

@olyerickson Did you know:
* The #Fediverse is based on #ActivityPub;
* ActivityPub is a @w3c recommendation;
* The ActivityPub recommendation was created by people named Christine, Jessica, Erin, Amy, and Evan

@Reverecherecher ↩️ I'm not an expert on any of this, of course. To find out the particulars of how standards work, it's worth looking at the docs.
