		cyborgx7 on Dec 4, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Movim – Federated, open-source alternative to Tumb... I like XMPP but this honestly just seems like a weird fit to me. ActivityPub seems like the more appropriate protocol for this. Also gives you federation with stuff like mastodon and peertube. Or just RSS would work as well.

Actually most of the social features of Movim are built on Pubsub (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html). The articles are Atom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(standard)) items published on Pubsub where ActivityPub define it's own JSON structure to handle articles.
