Join the room #freenode_<#channel>:matrix.org, replacing <#channel> with the name of the IRC channel. For example, in order to join the #prometheus IRC channel, join the room #freenode_#prometheus:matrix.org on matrix.org.
In vector.im, rooms can be joined with the directory symbol on the bottom left.
There’s a new social network in town. It’s called Mastodon. You might have even heard of it. On the surface, Mastodon feels a lot like Twitter: you post “toots” up to 500 characters; you follow other users who say interesting things; you can favorite a toot or re-post it to your own followers. But Mastodon is different from Twitter in some fundamental ways. It offers many more ways for users to control the posts they see. It fosters awareness of the effect your posts have on others through a content warning system and encourages accessibility with captioned images. At its core, though, there’s a more fundamental difference from existing social networks: Mastodon isn’t controlled by a single corporation. Anyone can operate a Mastodon server, and users on any server can interact with users on any other Mastodon server.
This decentralized model is called federation. Email is a good analogy here: I can have a Gmail account and you can have an Outlook
The plugin will do two things: set up an ActivityPub server running on the Wordpress instance, and transform the Wordpress web interface (both admin and public, e.g. comments) into an ActivityPub client.
I want to offload as much of the object storage as possible to existing Wordpress capabilities. This means that instead of storing separate objects for blog posts, comments, users, etc., the server translates the data already in the WP database to the correct JSON representation on-demand when it needs to interact with these objects. However, there may be some additional metadata that the server needs to associate with the existing representations, which can be done using linking tables (post_id -> recipients, etc.).
Collections (inboxes, outboxes, likes, follows, etc.) will probably need to have their own tables in the DB, since there’s not an obvious analog to these in classic WP.
I want the object created by the plugin to be compatible with Mastodon, whic
