As precursor to my blog post announcement later today, here's my #SocialHub response to the topic on how to treat the #LinkedData based #ActivityPub open standard where messages can be expressed both as plain #JSON as well as in #JSONLD, leading to the most costly misconception that has dragged the #fediverse sideways from its original promise and power..

Either revival and course correction to the original #ActivityPub protocol power and promise. With the potential to #ReimagineSocial.

I invite you to a #brainstorm & #ideation ride. To ponder how #fedi can organically evolve. Become unbeatable by #hypercapitalism.

Grassroots fediverse evolution

Social dynamics in the grassroots fediverse ecosystem and laisséz-faire practices led to divergence from power and promise of the ActivityPub protocol. Grassroots standards and the ActivityPub API initiative can get us back on track.

@smallcircles None of your choices, instead I look for hashtags and or search in the page for terms of interest.
@bechele I made option 4 a combo mashup, that includes "Other", so you may still add your vote. 😅
