You’re not wrong, and so I think the future of this is meant to be opt-in rather than opt-out. Realistically what a two-way opt-in looks like would be:

1. A topic is created
2. A cross-post request comes in
3. OP (or mod) approves or rejects
4. Topic is cross-posted.

However that in general introduces a significant amount of overhead and mental burden that would disincentivise usage of cross-posting.

I’m not sure what the answer is.

I used to be very bullish on the idea that cross-posting would solve so many problems via inteconnection, but there are some very significant social concerns that would absolutely taint the very idea.

So, we tread carefully.

The Discourse ActivityPub plugin is developed by a sole developer but I believe it is ready for use. I also believe he is still working on the plugin so that’s positive news.

Federation with Discourse forums is tricky, it’s been difficult getting NodeBB to work reliably with Discourse.

Are you able to load Discourse categories in Lemmy?

informapirata indeed! This is configurable under the site-wide ActivityPub settings under “auto categorization rules”.

For that site I have hashtags like “ActivityPub” and “fedimod” set up to automatically categorize discussions.

It only matches for discussions that don’t already have a category of their own (so, microblog stuff.)

> Batel’s Gorn DNA infusion, the treatment from the chimera plant, and her earlier encounter with the Vezda are stirred up into a convoluted sci-fi stew to explain all this in a dialogue scene that tries with all its might to use sci-fi-y terminology to convince us this actually makes sense, but mostly just draws attention to what a whopper of an ass-pull it all really is. The overriding sense one gets while watching this is, “Well, they’re just making stuff up now and pretending it holds water.” It really doesn’t. But I have to admit that I respect the commitment to the sheer insanity of the concept, even if the effort and seam-hiding are lacking. In the end, it’s basically, “because we said so.”

god bless Jammer.

The PR comments suggest that making the various changes to the backend were too large to justify, and a front-end only approach would be preferred? smitten@key.portend.place

It raises a good point though, where if you serve web+ap://, it’s not understood by clients that are not aware of this scheme. If there were a way a client could communicate whether there is a protocol handler registered, then the server could tailor its response.

Are there implementors of web+ap? I’d be interested in adopting.

I assume the fallback behaviour is to just assume https?

The concept sounds excellent, although there is fairly limited mobile support.

Since NodeBB is an installable PWA it would be definitely nice to have it supported there as well.

rimu@piefed.social interesting idea… I know Evan has some thoughts about this as part of his ActivityPub HTML discovery project

I am not sure why they did not settle on protocol handlers but I’ve tagged him for comment

> None of this “Universal Star-child” bullshit.

Bang on. It’s the same reason I couldn’t stand Discovery. There’s a universe ending problem and you alone are the key to solving it? Blech.

Fan fic with higher production values.

I think Batel was a well written character, otherwise.

Sorry you’re just in the wrong because you don’t know how to easily spell my new app nncjcosiwhebf

duh.

> Look, TNG got a sequel series (Picard), Voyager got a sequel series (Prodigy)… what we want is for DS9 to get one

You and I both know a Garak miniseries is the only appropriate answer.

Jon-Pincus hey check out that topic loading from within this NodeBB ;)

Honestly it could be something as prohibitive as not having secured film and TV rights from the authors.

I can imagine that doing it after the fact is often quite expensive.

Thanks for posting about this thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange

I’m interested (in a tired defeatist way) in what I need to do to stay on the right side.

It sounds like geoblocking is probably the quickest legally safe course of action, so perhaps it’s bye Mississippi too…

oh gosh judgement rites… the fact they built a full on 2D dogfight simulator in that game was epic.

I got good enough at it that I could shoot down Trelane.

Spoiler alert — it didn’t matter, he stranded you on the planet anyway.

Sound a bit like XCOM2 set in the ST universe. I’m game.

If we’re seeing the wind down of new Star Trek shows but a resurgence of games, I am totally on board for this

Star Trek Armada reboot please 😁

Well, the good news is at least with conversational backfill, you’ll be able to pull the entire reply tree 😁
