@inthehands@tchambers Fediverse is what I call "on life service", with the metaphor "internet vs. bicycle". Not related to environment, but to slower and more effective results. You need information about a person? On Internet they could tell what they want but if you ride your bike and move around the city, ring bells, knock at shops doors, asking about John Doe, folks who know him, will tell you who he really is. Fedi is the same: slower to be followed but follower are real. #fediverse
There are many opportunities for ActivityPub and ATProto developers and operators to collaborate: at standards bodies like IETF and W3C, in conferences, and in advocacy. I think it's a good idea to continue that process.
