Is this the time to launch a new botsinspace, based not on Mastodon code but something like #fedify, or even RSS Parrot's minimal Go codebase? A specialized service might be more affordable to operate?
But expertise is clearly needed to detect and block bandwidth-hungry scrapers and other bandits... This needs to be a team effort.
Thoughts, anyone?
Are you excited about the #fediverse but find implementing #ActivityPub daunting? Meet #Fedify, a #TypeScript framework that simplifies building federated server apps. Whether you're creating the next Mastodon, Pixelfed, or something entirely new, Fedify has you covered.
Fedify abstracts away the complexities of ActivityPub, letting you focus on your app's unique features. It's designed to work seamlessly with popular web frameworks like Hono, Express, and Fresh.

Let's build a more diverse and interoperable fediverse together with Fedify!
• It has a decent JSON-LD implementation.
• Lots of people use it. (I wanted Fedify to be widely used.)
• It's type-safe enough.
Even if I were to build Fedify again, I would choose TypeScript.
