I am an entrepreneur, small business owner, author, and researcher. I am also working on an open source project called Neuhub.
I am posting from Hubzilla with Neuhub via ActivityPub.
I totally understand the issue with the number of hours in the day. I have a lot of projects going too.
I am working on creating an ecosystem of websites that all use Magic Signon (OpenWebAuth). Social media websites, forum communities, productivity apps, online courses, etc. You can use the same social identity to log into all of them.
The more projects that support it, the more people will use it.
A forum project like yours would make a great addition. :-)
Interesting. I received a repeat notification from @ActivityPub on my last comment. I suppose that is how you are acknowledging that my post was sent to people following that category. I like it.
Thanks for adding these. I was wondering how I could follow your forum and not just specific people.
It would be nice if Direct Messages (DMs) or Private Messages (PMs) were treated like email and only sent to the people you are sending it to.
But generally, on most platforms, if you mention someone in the top level post, they are assumed to be on the recipient list. (Note, some platforms, like Mastodon, treat every post as if it were a top level post.)
Hubzilla has more privacy features, which prevents your messages from leaking to others, but part of that is because we use the Zot protocol between Hubzilla instances, and can set privacy at the thread level (i.e. the permissions of the top level post is the permissions for the entire thread).
When the same conversation is sent via ActivityPub, we lose a lot of control over the privacy of that post. We can and do address it to specific recipients, but other platforms don’t have the same types of access controls, which means we can’t enforce the access control list for that conversation on those platforms.
