The Verge just interviewed Evan Prodromou. That is, @evan@cosocial.ca, Research Director at @swf@socialwebfoundation.org, and co-author of #ActivityPub. And he shares some big news:

  • The W3C is working on end-to-end encryption for ActivityPub
  • The W3C is also working on group standards that have interoperability across the #Fediverse
  • Evan predicts a big 100M+ user network joining the Fediverse, and it’s not Threads

    Evan’s job is to help build a standard implementation for groups for the W3C. He is also trying to pitch ActivityPub to organizations big and small.

      I would honestly have been worried if the main people behind the protocol were busy trying to gatekeeep it.
