it's a standardized protocol for creating decentralized social networks. basically if everybody who wanted to create a social network agreed to use activitypub, they'd all be able to talk to each other, just like anyone can send email to anyone else, even if they aren't on the same email server.
this is why i'm against bluesky even though a lot of my friends are on it... it's just another walled off single-entity-controlled property. didn't we learn anything from twitter and now reddit!?
Thanks for the information! And I agree that distributed seems to be the best way forward…
