ActivityPub author is writing a book about ActivityPub
So, I’ve had two good pieces of news for the ActivityPub book from O’Reilly Media. The first one is that I finished the 6th of 7 chapters this week (on using and creating ActivityPub ex…

It seems they’re not far from finishing and have the first few chapters up for early access and feedback. It could be the go to text for learning the protocol.
You're viewing a single thread.
unfortunately he's not one of the interesting co-author of the protocol. too self centred.
I’m inclined to believe that that’s true. But it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
he surely knows the tech. what's concerning is how he's blocking anyone trying to contribute to work on it if it doesn't fit his agenda. very concerning and self centred. a total waste.
Ohh that's pretty interesting, I didn't know about it. Is it just him or everyone in the core development that is blocking people's collaborations?
other co-author have a very different way to handle criticism. some are really clear about the limitation of the protocol, even stating that it was not ready to be adopted by mastodon.
the issue with evan p. for me is that he's being really vocal, try to be a public figure, attract a lot of followers by design, but blocks anyone with a divergent point of view. that's his prerogative of course, but you can't pretend to be public figure and censure any criticism.
the discussion around activitypub is really interesting, and yes the protocol is far from perfect. how can we get there if the main goal is just to push its name and not design a better and efficient decentralised network? (I don't care about the protocol being used. If we are to build a new way of designing social network, we need to build it on a good code, and create new soft to interact, not just copy of the gafam products.)
to be clear, evan p. blocked me after I asked him (we were mutual on mastodon) if the co-authors thought about the efficiency of the protocol when designing it. he answers me "No." and blocked me, because this was a subject that he would rather not think about (server load / electrical consumption / efficiency / reducing our impact).
I can't stand this attitude. I've read him lecturing some of his followers when talking about the impact of our way of living. But when the subject was close to him personally it was not ok. This is hypocritical and led me to see him as a total narcissist.
I don't do narcissist. They are a total waste of time.
