Updates tagged with statusnet on Hacker Poesy!
bobjonkman: I seem to recall there's a standard API that should be common to all the #StatusNet derivitave servers. I'm pretty sure that in its infancy Mastodon conformed to that API. But Mastodon's API expanded beyond that, and I suspect some of the common API was removed, probably around the time #OStatus was dropped from Mastodon too. But that's sheer speculation on my part.

lnxw48a1: Definitely all #GS (and #StatusNet if there are any left; and #postActiv) instances, most #Friendica and a few #Hubzilla instances. A few remaining (not updated) #Mastodon and #Pleroma instances. At one time, there was a plugin for WordPress that let people comment over #OStatus. I do not know if said plugin is still maintained.

The GPL unfortunately doesn't defend rights when it comes to webservices etc. but (if I remember the legalese correctly) AGPL has the language of "conveying" instead of "distributing" etc.

bobjonkmanformer: To reply to a post in !GNUsocial you have to find a copy of it in your own instance. Older versions of !StatusNet pointed both the datetime URL and the conversations URL to the originating instance; I think newer !GNUsocial code has fixed that.

bobjonkmanformer: Yup, no HTTPS on sn.jonkman.ca. This instance was set up well before LetsEncrypt was available, and !GNUsocial (and !StatusNet before it) don't take well to changing the URL scheme. So, either I keep the groups and it stays HTTP or I switch to HTTPS and lose the groups. I opt for the former.
