ActivityPub is a protocol for "tankies" to get mad at "anti-tankies", and vice versa. But they both get mad at the "fash"

ActivityPub is a protocol for fueling @cwebber's Cassanda Complex

Here's one to explain things to the KIDS:

ActivityPub is Usenet Done Right

ActivityPub is the Tumblr Protocol. It's been adopted by Tumblr, and it basically is Tumblr. Always was

ActivityPub is a site for Facebooks to talk to each other

ActivityPub has inReplyTo, and it's used to make threads. Which is why we wrote it, we hoped Facebook would adopt it, and then they made Threads, and we were like ha ha we did it, we got 'em

ActivityPub is the protocol that powers the Defediverse, a protocol for defederating from other instances

ActivityPub is the network for posting questionable things, but you put them under a "content warning" (an ActivityPub invention, check the spec), and you can do anything you want in there. Anything at all

ActivityPub is based on JSON-LD so that it can be extensible. And that means you can do anything you want. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself #xombocom

ActivityPub is the protocol for Christine to fail to host the test suite and everyone to be mad at her for a decade, and kind of put up sort of replacements, but still get mad at her

ActivityPub is a protocol where the Official Test Suite is a rewrite of MUD (Multi User Dungeon) technology for testing for federation

(this one is TRUE, cursed knowledge if you investigate)

ActivityPub: it's a protocol for "keepin' it normal in here"

Have a normal time!

ActivityPub is the most secure protocol you'll ever use. This is true because it has a Security Considerations section. This means we considered all the security

ActivityPub is written by trans people, for trans people. And also that one guy, he was also involved

The fediverse is a network Christine wrote all by herself so she could be too distracted to do any other work later in the future when she needed to get it done

ActivityPub is an anti-fascist protocol. There are no fascists on here. Not even one.

PROOF: They aren't allowed, we put it in the spec, so if someone is being fascist on here, technically they're not implementing ActivityPub they're doing something else. NOT OUR PROBLEM

ActivityPub uses JSON-LD, which is basically just "lexical scope, but for JSON", so now you understand it

ActivityPub is when you go on a date with a girl and at the end of it she's like oh shit no way you're THAT CHRISTINE why didn't you tell me this earlier let me get you my fedi handle

ActivityPub is a protocol for me personally to say "Ha yeah, I'm the QUEEN OF THE FEDIVERSE" and look cool and then the moment someone starts to bristle I can say "don't worry no I'm anti-royalty no I didn't choose this name for myself it was the fediverse hold on"

ActivityPub is a series of tubes

But not those kinds of tubes. It's actually just a big node graph in Blender. A geometry nodes thing
