"… The internet and #social networking were supposed to enable us to connect in meaningful ways with our friends and the artists, thinkers, and brands we care about. But it’s nearly 20 years since my last startup, Plaxo, helped usher in this “social web” phase, and it’s clear by now that this is not the future we were promised. Sure, the people you want to follow are now on Social, but we mostly receive undifferentiated, one-way broadcasts from them. They don’t really know who we are, what we’ve seen and done, or what we’re interested in, and what personalization does exist comes more from “surveillance capitalism” than real two-way connection. …"

Weird — #Pleroma 's #WebFinger can return (#XML based) #XRD data (rather than just (#JSON based) #JRD data).

I think the expectation from IETF #RFC7033 is that — WebFinger returns JRD (i.e., JSON Resource Descriptor format).

...

I wonder if this causes any problems with any 3rd party client apps.

Using Web Host Metadata's #XRD & #JRD to figure out where #WebFinger is seems unnecessarily complex to me.

(This is used by some #Fediverse software.)
