https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub
ActivityPub is a standard for the Internet in the Social Web Networking Group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The standard was co-authored by Evan Prodromou, creator of StatusNet (now known as GNU social). At an earlier stage, the name of the protocol was “ActivityPump”, but it was felt that ActivityPub better indicated the cross-publishing purpose of the protocol. It is the most widely supported standard (by some margin) in the Fediverse.
Full force fediverse
I mean W3C created ActivityPub, it’s only fitting they peruse what they had created
Great news
Is “web2” a thing? I’ve only ever heard it used by web3 shills, and never outside of Twitter or LinkedIn.
I remember the term being thrown around a lot in the early days of Youtube. The optimism of the internet being mostly based on dynamic content created by real humans all over the world, with a lower barrier to entry than before.
The internet was a much different place before social media platforms basically took over.
Shills ruin everything. More robust p2p and federated systems is awesome and seemingly the direction things should be heading (web 3). There is the real question of how do incentivise and fund the infra, and that’s where the shills pop in.
I just followed them on Mastodon a few days ago.
Hope everyone from twitter moves to mastodon.
This is great. A big thing like W3C switching to Mastodon surely will have an impact
