ActivityPub aggregation #96

Open tassoman opened 11 months ago

tassoman commented 11 months ago

I made aggregation of mastodon servers to ActivityPub protocol.
Then made some inclusions, from fedidb.org
Then inclusions from widely used Italian servers (instances)

Removed pawoo net because of arguable content

Should wear a "Fediverse" Icon or "ActivityPub" itself. Didn't wanted to flag as Fediverse, because isn't properly technical as ActivityPub.

Fediverse is a common name given by hoomans, ActivityPub is the communication's protocol they share together.

I'm unsure if ActivityPub is something that is helpful for non technical people. They might not be able to connect that to Mastodon maybe 🤔

Also in general, if rename things here, we might need to add some special code in Matomo to handle that. Otherwise users will loose the comparability with old data, as old reports will show the old name, while newest reports would show the new name, and some reports even both.

The alternative is to aggregate Mastodon instances to them self, then add notations for other software, but the list can be pretty long.
In my opinion was a mistake to misunderstanding Mastodon with Fediverse.
The real problem is not having domains here is not counting social networking kind of entry websites.

I agree ActivityPub can be renamed Fediverse (it's the same worldwide, but internationalized)
