   ActivityPub is a W3C Recommendation! Yes! At last! Finally!

   Let your social networks be free! https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/6785 https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

     ActivityPub was basically 3 years of my life, and there were points were I wasn't sure if the time and energy I was spending on it was worth it. I'm sure it was today. Thank you everyone who participated in the standards process, have implemented... or are going to implement! You made it all worth it!

     "Victory for libre networks", @cwebber doesn't just write a press release that AP is now a Recommendation, but also a review of 3 years of standards work and his personal background and motivation, and finally an overview of whay this all means.

     @cwebber @alcinnz @datatitian Unless Facebook, Twitter, and Google change their core business models, their adoption of ActivityPub would be for one of two purposes: either (a) embrace and extend (with proprietary extensions. e.g., Google: AOSP and Google Play Services) or (b) PR.

     What excites me about ActivityPub is the potential it holds for independent alternatives to Google, Facebook, and Twitter to emerge with completely different business models (including, eg., commons-funded & coop).

     And here's the more personal note on @cwebber's home blog, with further expansion on the joys and travails of standardization work.
