Holy shiii
@puckipedia is making an ActivityPub C2S server that bridges to Twitter so you can use any ActivityPub client as a Twitter client

wtf amaze
I know some Mastodon devs are either skeptical of doing it or think it wouldn't be worth the effort but: imagine if Mastodon spoke ActivityPub's C2S protocol on both frontend and backend and then you hooked Mastodon's default web frontend to @puckipedia's Twitter AP bridge
Then you could control twitter through something that looks like tweetdeck but using mastodon's UI
that shit would be hilarious
@pho4cexa @cwebber @puckipedia yeah Diaspora ran into similar issues with Facebook
@cwebber @puckipedia smilodon's gonna talk the AP C2S just sayin'
@cwebber @puckipedia like how Pleroma folks are running Mastodon's frontend on Pleroma, except you'd like it through AP's client API and not Mastodon's
yeah that would be fun to see
@cwebber @puckipedia I'm kind of doing the opposite with Facebook: building a chrome extension that adds a mastodon client to your facebook homepage.
@cwebber @puckipedia (wouldn't twitter react by making unannounced api "improvements" until it stops working? or just block such clients altogether? another war of attrition like aim/pidgin back in the day?)
