Should Hacker News implement ActivityPub and federate?

[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>

@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!

[fedicate@break3.social]

@evan@cosocial.ca The more platforms implement ActivityPub, the more people learn about our systems on the Fediverse.

The better these systems get wanting to actually make a better platform for the people to stay instead of locking them in because of the size of there userbase alone.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@dps910 @fabio yes

[liebach@mastodon.art]

@evan I see this poll, and realize I can't possibly be bothered forming an opinion either way.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@liebach great. It's not mandatory. You should spend your one wild and precious life doing something you enjoy!
