2 years agoA good metaphor to be used for UI/UX could be Fediverse users as friends in a room commenting TV shows/news that are RSS/Atom feeds: friends can hear each others’ comments but TV is just a one-way communication medium.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
isn’t the origin server messaged just to provide counters and notifications to OP?

Yes, mine was a reference to the concept of graceful degradation:
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Graceful_degradation_versus_progressive_enhancement
Even better if Fediverse servers could treat any RSS/Atom feed as a “degraded” ActivityPub actor and let users subscribe, boosts and comment posts. We would have de facto a comment platform for everything that has a RSS/Atom feed.

And we wouldn’t have comments split across multiple unofficial RSS->Fediverse bots as it is now.
Bots connecting different platforms are a waste of energy (and therefore have an environmental impact) when we can instead have open protocols.
