More in-depth. Most fascinating is that ActivityPub and the fediverse are "Made by people, for people" from the ground up.
You might say "But what does that have to do with the technical side?", a fair question. As I see it, it is a huge opportunity to "do tech differently", take a social-first approach where people's needs are central and ultimately accounted for in supportive humane and harmonious technology.
While that seems obvious, it is actually a huge challenge, and we have tons to learn. Our whole hypercapitalist society is tech-first, "tech means progress", and it has pushed us to the brink. Even fediverse did not escape that, being based on FOSS movement and culture, it is dev-led and app-centric.
Add that the AP protocol is incomplete, has huge holes. It is more a protocol framework. Who takes care of healthy evolution and natural growth? Answer is: We all should.
With https://coding.social I focus on this challenge. The blog has more info.
