Wildebeest
-
TIL that CloudFlare actually built and maintained their own ActivityPub software called Wildebeest and shuttered it at the end of Q1 2023.
That's wild.

@julian yeah, but it didn't hand a lot of things correctly

The list of orgs who've tried #mastodon and given up is small but concerning.

@julian it was a tech demo for cloudflare as a service. it honestly never got past proof-of-concept stage. last i remember, it used to show DMs on the public timeline.

@Tondoni CloudFlare didn't even try Mastodon. The way they marketed Wildebeest made it appear like they wanted to go into direct competition with Mastodon and a whole lot of other non-commercial Fediverse projects and siphon off private data of Fediverse users. They particularly went for people who wanted to run their own instances.
