@fediprofile@social.vocalcat.com is designed to be that wallet.
Because Fediprofile itself is an ActivityPub actor, it can follow badge issuers (again simplicity wins!).
When it detects a badge issued to one of the verified profile URLs connected to the account, it automatically stores it (and optionally boost it).
Users can then choose which badges to display. Users OWN their badges.
This creates a low-friction identity layer.
People who don’t want to run their own site can still have a public profile where they show:
• their social links
• their activity
• their badges
All in a decentralized way.

ActivityPub is also used for federation.
Badge issuers (ActivityPub actors) can follow other issuers.
When a badge is issued, a Create activity is federated.
Other servers receive that activity and can store a local copy of the badge.
This works very similarly to how Mastodon servers cache posts.
Because of that, badges can also be:
• revoked using the Delete activity
• updated using the Update activity
Again, this reuses existing ActivityPub verbs instead of inventing a new protocol or new spec.
Simple primitives, (I love how simple it is), powerful results.

I think it's a good time to explain how we see @badgefed@mastodon.social and @fediprofile@social.vocalcat.com, how they work together, and how #badges can use #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse.
Also how this can help communities outside the fediverse!
This is a quick overview of the architecture and ideas behind it. 🧵 1/
(thanks @johannab@cosocial.ca for the ask ...)

The last couple of days @Flipboard@flipboard.social is showing me consistently some news I have not seen in other sources, here in the fediverse.
And I am happy about it.

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.
It’s designed for two types of people:
Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.
Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !
Interested in testing? Reply here, I will reach out in the next 24-48hrs with an invitation link.

Does anyone have a game to which they want to add an achievement system? I have a university professor friend in Mexico who has some students who need practice.

Ok, sorry folks, I heard substack had a nazi problem, I thought it was using the broad use of the adjective. I did not expect them to HOST ACTUALLY FUCKING NAZI newsletters.
I will shutdown my Substack immediately. WTF?

If you are having issues accessing @badgefed in #github, there is an up-to-date #codeberg one
I am planning to deprecate the github one, but I need to migrate the workflow actions that publish the #docker image first
