Is there a general-purpose ActivityPub implementation that runs on cheapo PHP+MySQL hosting?

We have a plan.

It's not complicated, but it's hard.

It means treating every single human being as if they have rights.

If we can't figure out what to do, we have to go back to the plan.

Tomorrow I'll be participating in a webinar on #privacy and the #fediverse organized by Privacy Laws and Business. I think it's an important issue -- I hope we spend more time talking about this topic.

Our voice phone systems are seamlessly federated. You can call people across carriers, over national boundaries, instantaneously, and the only friction is slightly more numbers to dial.

Are screenshots of posts on other social networks a valuable contribution to the Fediverse?

I'm excited about IFTAS Connect. It's a great platform, and considerable though seems to have gone into making it safe and productive. Seems like a great tool for the Fediverse community.

So, as far as I can tell, ActivityPub is by far the most popular JSON-LD application on the Internet, with billions of actor, activity and content documents published and linked.

Is there any other application of JSON-LD that comes even close in terms of documents published, number of interoperable implementations, and importance in people's lives? I don't think VCs are even within 4 or 5 orders of magnitude.

Is there an Internet Media Type for social microsyntax, the plain-text source format that is used to convert @-mentions, hashtags, and URLs into links in HTML5? I've been unable to find one, and have fallen back to text/plain.

I had a whole chapter for the ActivityPub book that I never got around to doing. I just finished it. I don't think my editor is going to be happy, since it's going to make the book too big, but I'd rather have to cut back than live with regrets.
