A new project launching today aims to capitalize on the momentum seen within the fediverse, also known as the open social web, which describes interconnected social networking services powered by the ActivityPub protocol. Co-founded by the co-author and current editor of ActivityPub, Evan Prodromou, a new nonprofit organization called the Social Web Foundation will focus on expanding the fediverse, improving ActivityPub and the user experience, informing policymakers, and educating people about the fediverse and how they can participate.
That’s the most famous ActivityPub social just because people don’t know what federation is and that Threads implements it (disabled by default).
All IRL people who know Threads whom I asked what made Threads different from Twitter didn’t know about this feature.
It’s like people can’t get interested in anything unless it has the Big Tech stamp of approval. 🙄
