I think the #ActivityPub client-to-server API is extremely important and underrated. I’m glad to see the SWF and W3C group prioritizing it, because I think it has the potential to fix something that’s kind of broken on the #Fediverse: too many accounts, on too many platforms that really ought to be clients.

Here’s the rub, though: you need the big players in the space to support it. Mastodon needs to support it. Pixelfed and PeerTube need to support it.

So, how do you get the big existing projects to all implement it? How do you justify it?

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://social.wedistribute.org/objects/63e1c2f7-9b60-4aa1-8523-684f82a63c8d on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
