I always considered reddit as a &quot;forum as a service&quot;. Give up a little freedom and we will take care of your forum for you.<p>And as such I have to admit I was initially baffled where federation(activity pub) enters into the equation. as forums don&#x27;t really need federation.<p>But was stuck in the mental model of the web forum, I think what is going on is that this is more like usenet, the ur forum, which is pretty cool.

It&#x27;s amazing how far off the mark so many talented coders are when it comes to understanding the masses, how they think and what they want.<p>Guys...it&#x27;s not that hard to do. Stop thinking so hard. Stop thinking you know a better way. CLONE REDDIT, just without the idiot running the place. It was working great until he screwed everything up.

I think what <i>everyone</i> is getting wrong is that the key pain point to solve is moderation. Solve moderation first.

This and Honk are great because they dare to be different visually and functionally. Ted’s casual criticisms of ActivityPub and the federated software that uses the standard are also informative. I think that his experience as an OpenBSD developer gives his work a different edge and appeal compared to others.

Would love to see it without having to install it. Is there a public running instance somewhere?

I knew this was from the author of honk...

WOTC C&amp;D in 3....2.....1....

Something to note: GotoSocial currently rejects the Announces (this is GtS&#x27;s fault) and Akkoma accepts but then later deletes them (this is probably Akkoma&#x27;s fault). Investigations are continuing...

Curious about the name. Being from the Azores myself.
