@fediversereportConnected Places So, I think this is a really interesting article, and I agree that participation and representation matter here.

I hope that more ActivityPub implementers step up to become W3C members. There are several funded nonprofits and commercial organizations that could probably afford it. I'd recommend that people who use ActivityPub software let the software creators know that they should participate in the WG process!
