MODERATORS
They have conferences about ActivityPub. Why isn't W3C trying to fix this mess in newer backwards-incompatible versions? The time to do it is now, not later, because it would involve a major version and years of pushing for adoption. The lack of standardization of basic concepts is why integrations of different types of implementations is a broken mess, which is the whole fucking point of ActivityPub! Now, we have to compete with ATProto, which has different kinds of problems, and it's very possible that it just wins out and kills ActivityPub.
This reminds of the early days of SMTP, where there was zero thought behind security, and that created an entire spam industry.
PeerTube integration into Lemmy is still shit, poorly implemented, and rarely linked by Lemmy admins.
