ActivityPub was when @erincandescentErin 💽✨ transcribed ancient scrolls onto loose leaf paper, scanned the paper into a scanner, ran it through OCR, and then said "the W3C should learn about this"

And that's how we got ActivityPub

ActivityPub was formed when @rhiarohttps://rhiaro.co.uk/ emerged from the forest and held scribblings written upon a giant leaf and said "these are pretty good scribblings, but it would be even better if..." and then TORE the leaf in two, and then that's how we got the Client-to-Server and Server-to-Server protocols as two separate things
