amazing to see all of the new micro blogging networks: Scuttlebutt, Nostr, Mastodon and Feedland - I think RSS will be huge in the new landscape because there are 15 million+ sites already equipped - huge ecosystem. I wonder how the Tweetbot mastodon client is doing, anyone using it ? #microblogging #RSS #blockchain #activitypub #feedland #ostatus #pubsubhubbub #identica #laconica #twitarmy #friendfeed #track #xmpp #jabber #indieweb #dweb #web3

Maybe I should be looking into #ActivityPub's relationships with #WebSub (formerly #PubSubHubBub) and whether major platforms like Mastodon support it both as a hub and as a subscriber. I'm wondering if this could be used as a strategy you reduce bandwidth, number of connections and possibly server load, by preparing static files that subscriber servers could fetch instead of getting one update per action pushed by the hub.

@benbrown @anildash Not really *needs*, the original model of RSS is that the reader polled direct. You only need a hub if you want all your readers/clients synced. Some get around this by using cloud storage for subscription lists and read markers, but there’s no interoperable for that method.

#WebSub (formerly #PubSubHubBub, a/k/a #PuSH) addresses this by providing hubs to ping that send callbacks to subscribers.

@davetroy now there's a word I like
PubSubHubbub
The
PubSubHubbub

I was walking in the
#PubSubHubbub

@davetroy Maybe Jyri Engeström and Petteri Koponen, the founders of Jaiku, can tell us the story in more detail when they join Mastodon?

I can't find them through name search here yet and no indications of Mastodon on their Twitter accounts' bio.

wish there were more technical spec titles that sound like dubstep lyrics #PubSubHubbub
