AcivityPub, a protocol that aims to unify federation and client interactions within decentralized social networks, reached its W3C Recommendation state recently. Along with their state change, they got a bit of press coverage, and obviously, the specification is known within my bubble.
Naturally, as I am one of the people behind diaspora*, I get asked what I think about ActivityPub and whether diaspora* will change its implementation to be compatible with it. I could be cheap and just link to xkcd-927 and be done with it, but that would neither be useful to anyone nor respectful towards all the people who worked on ActivityPub, so here we are.
