@davidak MediaGoblin's donors made ActivityPub happen. There wouldn't have been enough resources to be able to balance that work and allow us to initially justify it otherwise.
I feel guilty that I stepped back after the standards ended, but I needed to take stock of what the most important thing I could do next was: continue MediaGoblin (even now that Peertube and etc picked up AP) or try to pave a path for all the stuff the fediverse couldn't do yet but needs to?
