There are now Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEP) that are being published by Fedi developers with the goal to improve interoperability and well-being of diverse services, applications and communities that form the Fediverse.

How's fractal? It comes up as a recommendation for Linux matrix a lot and I was wondering.

If you answer in the language you know best, it'll be easier to others to understand or translate, especially if it's English. You could translate your message to match the language of the comment, but if you don't know the language, how can you know if it conveys your message correctly? Overall, I'd say it depends on the specific community. If you try to inject yourself into a conversation in a Japanese language community, it may indeed come off as rude or ignorant. The best solution may be to post in both languages?

An e-commerce site invariably involves a level of responsibility that I don't think would fly in a federated environment.

Oh, I missed that. Thanks

content should be private by default, nowhere is stated otherwise This is completely false. Read section 7.1, "Note: Silent and private activities". It specifically says that privacy behavior, even for activities with no recipients at all, is undefined. It recommends not showing them to anyone, obviously, but that "behavior is not defined" has a very specific meaning in a specification document. It means, if you sent an activity of that type to someone, trusting that they would then keep it private, then you fucked up, because behavior in that area is undefined and cannot be relied upon. That's not "rules lawyering." That is how specification documents work. That's an important note, which I suspect is why it is highlighted and in its own separate box. There are some similar parts of the document, involving the big word "MAY" in all caps where they had the option of writing "SHALL" or even "SHOULD", to indicate that a server had to keep certain things private, that follow the same philosophy. None of that means you can't use some common sense. It's obviously not good to be handling intended-to-be-private information in some way that the sender doesn't expect, and that's why Dansup fixed it quickly when it was brought to his attention (particularly since the issue wasn't even directly related to access control on private posts, just in a subtle interaction involving approved-followers-only users and a setting that was failing to federate). My point was just on the broader issue, that if Mastodon is sending out "private" statuses to random servers, then this is at the root a Mastodon issue. The quick fix (regardless of whatever it was about that made the blog poster even more upset when Dansup took it seriously and fixed it quickly) puts the lie to your assertion that Dansup is "toxic" "ignoring what the federation requires" and so on. I suspect that we're going to keep going around in circles on this forever. I have a new strategy when someone is just endlessly arguing with me about some weird minor issue. I just make a new post dealing with the issue in more depth, so that it's not just you and me endlessly going in circles deep in the comments at each other. You're welcome to come to that post, and continue the conversation there, if you'd like to: https://sh.itjust.works/post/35210537

Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).

I belive vernissage.photos allows that (but not sure)

You might be able to self-host WordPress if it is just a matter of importing. As WP is federated, you can, presumably cross-post it from there.

I wouldn't hope much 2 years later

Reddit is worse, it is utterly indifferent to us. We're just the skulls getting crushed under the treads of Skynet's tank.
