Great points here…from @manton:

“The current Fediverse is impressive. It’s further along than most people would’ve guessed possible a few years ago, largely thanks to Mastodon’s polish and Twitter’s implosion. The next step should be getting to the point where the answer to my question above can be ‘yes’…”

Next step for ActivityPub

Dave Winer posted a 12-minute audio recording on his blog, addressed to me but applicable to everyone who is creating tools for the social web. Listening to it, I have a bunch of thoughts. In this post, I just want to start with server-to-server ActivityPub, and leave some of the other technologies Dave brings up for later. A few days ago I was revisiting the ActivityPub code in Micro.blog because we have some interoperability problems with Calckey, now called Firefish.
