Should Hacker News implement ActivityPub and federate?

[spraoi@tooting.ch]

@evan@cosocial somebody did. They seem to be assiciated with Counterhack somehow:

[danso@mtl.rocks]

@evan@cosocial.ca yes, but mtl.rocks wouldn’t federate with it

[vincent@r.town]

@evan if you want to try it out already https://hacker.makeup/

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@Ashedryden this is how we spread our culture, though

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@vincent lol, you are unstoppable

[fabio@cosocial.ca]

@evan Yes but then a bunch of people who read HackerNews will be on the Fediverse (pejorative)

[alessandro@mstdn.ca]

@evan what am I, the federation police?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@danso acceptable

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@jmeowmeow it's been eternal September for me since the second person joined the Fediverse so yes

[floatybirb@mastodon.social]

@evan "yes but even if they federate I will continue to be suspicious of them"

[silverpill@mitra.social]

@vincent It doesn't work for me. Every time my server attempts to fetch an announced post, hacker.makeup returns 500.

[vincent@r.town]

@silverpill Weird! My test request works... if you tell me enough to reproduce I will fix it

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@alessandro it's an opinion poll not a requisition form

[silverpill@mitra.social]

@vincent

curl -H 'Accept: application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"' https://hacker.makeup/users/lorendb/statuses/47287792000

This returns an HTML document and status 500:

<h2 class="text-danger">An error occurred while processing your request.</h2>

[maj@cosocial.ca]

@spacehobo @evan This is the way.

[vincent@r.town]

@silverpill I just shipped some improvements. Let me know if you find other bugs!

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@squinky it's one way though!

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@fabio everyone should be on the Fediverse.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@squinky oh!

[silverpill@mitra.social]

@vincent Awesome. Will do!
