@CuChulainn Once you're following your blog (@cuchulainn), new posts will show up there. Then you can boost them, mention your blog in toots (like I just did), etc.

Only thing is that interactions are limited. You won't be notified of boosts, likes, or replies (though replies are coming in the future).

Looking forward to speaking at ActivityPub Conf 2019!

@ontploffing Yep, I see it on mine too. Just blocked that domain, so they should be cleared out soon.

@switchingsocial Absolutely right.

@natharari Not automatically (last I knew) -- it's up to every instance to block it.

On the note of fake followers, before I blocked gab.com on our https://m.abunchtell.com instance I noticed very bot-like behavior from seemingly real accounts on that instance -- very reminiscent of birdsite bots.

Definitely worth thinking about how we guard against misinformation and astroturfing in the #fediverse as this gets more prevalent. Domain blocks alone probably won't be enough -- the classic social media features we include or leave out matter, too.

here it is: @gregkh :)

@bix I saw one but want to make sure we've removed them all.

@bix @write_as Send me the links to the posts (DM if you want) and we'll take a look.

@wion Yeah, probably Jitsi. I've used https://meet.jit.si quite a bit now and it hasn't failed me yet.

@cj @qwazix That works for me!

Preferred video call tool? Maybe something like https://meet.jit.si ?

@cj @qwazix I'd also note I'm available today, if that works for you both.

@cj Yeah, I'd be happy to do that. I'd also like to loop in @qwazix who will be doing most of the work on this particular project.

I don't have much availability this weekend, but should be free evenings CET next week. Does any day in particular work best for you?

@cj Hey CJ! Hope all is well.

We're looking to build a new AP application from scratch (details here: https://phabricator.write.as/T671) and wanted to do it on the latest go-fed version.

I was curious what the status of `apcore` is -- I know it says under construction, but is it possible to build on yet? Or should we stick with the `activity` pkg?
