ActivityPub is a W3C Recommendation! Yes! At last! Finally!
Let your social networks be free! https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/6785 https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
@cwebber how long until we start filing "ActivituPub implementation lacking/broken" issues on webcompat/web-bugs for all the isolationist social media sites?
@datatitian @cwebber Seems tricky to convince Facebook & Twitter... But I soooo want them to implement this!
@alcinnz @datatitian I would *love* for Facebook and Twitter to adopt ActivityPub, but it seems they really *want* to have walled gardens, so it's hard for me to be optimistic there.
I think Google or Microsoft (!!) would be more likely to participate in ActivityPub stuff at this point, because they're more nervous about not having really a big inroads in the social networking scene these days afaict, and maybe AP could help them
@cwebber @alcinnz @datatitian If they don't do Atom/RSS, they're not going to do ActivityPub.
@jbond @datatitian @alcinnz @cwebber Twitter used to have RSS feeds for each public timeline. They *removed* them at some point.
