Good morning Fediverse.

It seems the W3C is trying to update ActivityPub. As I've illustrated in validating the simplest object created by various applications against the Activity Streams specification, most Fediverse applications do not obey the Activity Streams specficiation. As ActivityPub depends on Activity Streams, these applications also do not obey ActivityPub.

There are many arguments one can make to muddy the above statement. I expect the W3C work to be of the quality of Activity Streams, and thus am fine with ignoring everything they do.
