I wrote about ActivityPub, and why Elon Musk might have saved social networks by buying Twitter — just not at all in the way he meant to theverge.com/2023/4/20/2368957

One little detail jumped out at me: is NPR actually on Mastodon?

@pierce Great article but there was a lot of confusion about decentralized vs interoperable.

Email messages are interoperable and decentralized but contacts are over-the-top services that are neither decentralized or interoperable without special export/import features

There's nothing about ActivityPub that says my toots will be able to show up in tumbler. The data models may be incompatible. ActivityPub is the protocol for how data should be shared, not the structure/content of the data.

@pierce This is an excellent piece. Only missing was your fediverse handle on the article! :-)
