@rysiek@KelsonV I'm all for the growing hype around ActivityPub.
From The Verge:
"The hottest new thing in social isn’t vertical video, and it’s not AI-driven algorithmic feeds. Instead, it’s a little-known, years-old protocol called ActivityPub that could help rewire the entire social fabric of the internet.
"In recent months, a number of tech companies have thrown their resources into ActivityPub and what’s now known as “the Fediverse.” Tumblr is working with ActivityPub, as are Flipboard, Medium, Mozilla, and even Meta. There’s now an official WordPress plug-in for ActivityPub, which will enable the protocol for something like half the internet all at once. Developers are using ActivityPub to build new and different takes on YouTube, Instagram, and much more. ActivityPub is everywhere! ActivityPub!"
@ttmrichter@KelsonV Something with no agency can save something just by existing. Saving is not an act exclusive to things with agency. For example, if I fell out of a building, a trampoline on the ground could possibly save me.
Well that aged like fine wine (talking about Embrace Extended Extinguish and how Google abandoned XMPP):
In theory, a company like Meta could run that playbook here. It could launch Fedigram or Fedbook or whatever, gain a lot of users, and then slowly shut out the broader ecosystem.
@ch0ccyra1n@KelsonV The interoperability is really cool! I'm doing the same thing, it's nice to be able to dip my toes into Lemmy without an account yet!
