fionescu(1)fionescu@bsd.cafeOct 24, 2026, 10:09 PM@aoeBerlin @ferrix @WeirdWriter @MLE_online The software itself is also on a spectrum of compatibility. Not all fediverse servers handle the ActivityPub specifications in the same way. Hubzilla did their first implementation by the book, only for Mastodon to narrow things down and sanitize HTML formatting and stuff - think of it like KDE vs. GNOME, except most ActivityPub devs decided to just go along with the Mastodon API and Hubzilla has remained in a more invisible minority. Sure, Mastodon figured out some real UX enhancements, but they've been pushing back on useful innovations from Hubzilla and its forks, like "nomadic identity"/full data portability...
