This statement is going to live rent-free in my head for a long time to come, I suspect.

"Our dream for the fediverse is a world in which you don't have to make a screenshot to share something from one network into another network. The fediverse is all one big network. It's all connected." Evan Prodromou, Co-Author of ActivityPub

@hrefna @tchambers I see a lot of irony in this being an image rather than a quote toot

I’m probably out of the loop or daft on something. Is there any reason in particular why it’s gonna live rent free or why the comment about screenshots strikes so hard?

A few things.

First, that is _laughably_ far from where we are today.

Second, to the degree we are there it has very little to do with ActivityPub and more to do with people believing in the vision of the fediverse.

Finally, given the lack of support for (and the massive resistance toward) quote-boosting, differing formats between platforms, etc it's hard to see how you can claim that the vision of not using screenshots is something that we are approaching.

Further driving home that last point is the outright hostility in certain corners toward "bridge" technologies or towards anything that might look like it hypothetically may make it onto a major (or minor but wannabe major) social media platform.

Incidentally I recently ranted along similar lines, bringing up screen shots: hachyderm.io/@maegul@akkomane.

“
In fact, I’d argue that what we have now is strange. Each piece of social media interaction has to get translated into whatever my current platform decides is the appropriate format and understanding of that interaction. In reality, that’s really not much progress on the screen shots used to share inter-platform content on big (unfederated) social media.

Well, on the quote posting issue: i think that across all the major mobile apps and Phanpy that is already a settled issue and all have basic support.

From Mastodon as a service soon - they will do formal support for this at their server level. And places like Firefish and other fediverse servers have been there for a while.

So I think that issue has been functionally put to bed.

@tchambers

One of about twenty examples, and another example of it being solved by people working _around_ the protocol more than they work _through_ the protocol.

Even then getting here required a lot people doing a lot of fighting over the course of multiple years, a lot of burnout, and involved a lot of derision and attacking of people who come from different online cultural experiences.
