@Ben Pate 🤘🏻 In the words of a diaspora* developer, if Mozilla and Vivaldi "implemented ActivityPub", they'd actually "implement Mastodon". That'd mean catching more users with less effort than implementing vanilla ActivityPub and implementing features that Mastodon doesn't have. Besides, both used to have or still have a Mastodon server, but they don't seem to be aware that there's a Fediverse beyond Mastodon, much less what it's like and how it works.

In fact, they wouldn't even implement the ActivityPub C2S API at all. They'd implement the Mastodon client API and only the Mastodon client API.

Yeah, probably, maybe, possibly, idk. It’s all speculation in the absence of a C2S API that developers want to use. I don’t think I could say what any browser maker might do.. esp if they see AP as a threat to their moats.

I want to focus on what WE can do right now. Move the ecosystem forward. Maybe in a few years the W3C will catch up C2S and we can all build to that, too.

But we can’t wait for that before we fix the UX that Tim laid out.
