The network effect for #ActivityPub is gaining some serious momentum right now. As more services adopt the protocol, more people, more communities and more content are added to the network making it increasingly more valuable for everyone. This will only accelerate in the coming months as Threads, Wordpress, Tumblr, Flipboard and others federate.We're still in early innings but there's no way to put this genie back in the bottle. The open social Web / the #Fediverse is going to be huge.

@mitchmarq42xyz Based on what I can see, I think it's pretty clear that both Threads and Tumblr are serious about federating. It may happen in stages because it's a lot of work to federate an existing service in a useful way that makes sense for both the service's existing users as well as for users in the Fediverse.

@mike Sounds good, but what's the plan for handling the fallout of Meta slurping in the whole social graph of Mastodon and using it for their own nefarious purposes?

@albertcardona if that happens most people will de-federate with their instance.

@mike @albertcardona Some instances already started defederation: https://fedipact.online/ (and everybody can block Threads personally, too). But I'm not sure if Mastodon is secured against "Embrace, extend, and extinguish": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

@NatureMC @albertcardona On one hand, that's the beauty of the #fediverse. People are free to federate or de-federate based on what they value and the kind of communities they want to participate in.I would just caution that automatically walling entire groups of people off from each other out of fear could be self defeating for the Fediverse. There are many tools that can be used to prevent bad actors and bad behavior when it's seen. And more can be built to effectively federate moderation.

@mike Question: What is the difference/innovation of Activity Pub over RSS for a blog/CMS like Wordpress?

@kajkandler This is a really good question because ActivityPub is similar to RSS with two really important differences. 1) ActivityPub is two way. While RSS broadcasts content it does not have a way to know if someone liked, boosted or commented on that content. 2) RSS forms a connection between a blog and an RSS app. ActivityPub forms a follow connection between an account and another account. This means if you move from one reader app to another the connection is maintained.

The Fediverse has lived under three protocols: OpenMicroBlogging (XMPP-based, 2008), OStatus (2009-2017), ActivityPub (2018–).OStatus was indeed built on something very similar to RSS, it was Atom plus a few more protocols to handle push, comments and other things.The reason OStatus was abandoned was that the stack of protocols was difficult to implement and difficult to extend. ActivityPub was intended to improve on it, and judging from the number of implementations, it seems it did.@mike @kajkandler

@clacke @mike @kajkandler Still, I wonder what will follow. I mean, XMPP was once "the future" too.

@nunesdennis @evan Our plan is to fully federate in the coming months so that anyone in the Fediverse can follow and engage with anyone curating on Flipboard and anyone on Flipboard can follow and engage with any public account in the Fediverse.Stay tuned for more details soon.

@mikeThis is excellent news Mike. Following your original announcement many months ago, I actually thought this was the case and created a clipboard about for myself, lolz. It took a bit, but eventually I figured out that such integration would need to wait for a later day.Good to know that's now on the horizon 🖖#tallship #FOSS #ActivityPub #Fediverse #Streams #Mitra #Friendica #Firefish #Takahe #BovineYou can haz #Cheezburgerz! 🍔⛵.@nunesdennis @evan @ramsey
