#ActivityPub is to #Linux

#Fediverse network is to Linux users/community

Software which implemented ActivityPub is to Linux distros. Examples:
- Mastodon is to Ubuntu
- Pleroma is to Debian
- MissKey is to Linux Mint
- Friendica is to Pop_OS

You don't stop using a refrigerator because the brand you bought broke down immediately. You find a new brand.

It's the same with Linux and the Fediverse.

isn't "writeAs" is actually writefreely? I thought the former is a SAAS based on the latter.
Where's #friendica?

@grin Actually, yeah, it's the other way around. Hehe.

But I'll edit/add it in the list.

re: Friendica, it's the first one.

help me to understand! As far as I see "write.as" was/is a hosted service with no open source code or commmunity install, then they have released "#writefreely" as the server hostable by anyone, so "writeas" never have been a #communityServer (and there is ony one writeas, the #commercial one; it was/is a closed source company hosted #AP compatible service.)
That is what I have believed.
(Maybe there could be a list of commercial AP compatible #closedSource services...)

@grin Oh. AFAIK, at least when the project started, it is open source.

I think later, Write.As / WriteFreeley split, with the latter as the software and the former as the service. But, if I'm not mistaken, the Write.As code is the same as the WriteFreely code.

Think of it as WordPress. "Wordpress.com" is the hosted service, while "wordpress.org" (or simply Wordpress) is the code.

You can use Write.As for free, or one of the other servers, like https://th.hashi.icu

"wordpress.org" is a website, "wordpress" is the software. 😆

th.hashi.icu uses _writefreely_ (see the bottom of the page).

And yes, I am sure write.as uses "writefreely" code plus their own internal closed-source improvements.

I hope my suggestions help to improve your list! 🙂

re: frioendica, oh sorry, you're right, I wanted to ask why aren't they grouped by type! 😬 😉
