 Team,

 I’ve seen the broader discussion regarding adding features to buddypress
 to add support for third party social networking. I think it’s mostly been
 expressed in terms of fediversse i.e. activitypub (mastodon)

 I’m keen to assist as there are obvious synergies not only with buddypress
 but more broadly with the LocalHero project concept I’ve working on.

 If there is already a ticket please let me know

 More broadly my staring ideas are:

 1. Any integration should incorporate the indieweb as well. It’s low
 hanging fruit
 2. Essential to all this is the concept of activity status. Right now by
 default all buddypress activity is public. This can be toggled to private
 via plugins. The indieweb and fediverse require more flexibility. Ie the
 ability to set activities to public or private or indeed vary that
 depending on the user capability and/or friendship status

 I think there is huge upside here, potential even as part  of a
 facebook/Twitter killer movement if this can be integrated well
