Great article from David Pierce at The Verge about the potential of the fediverse:

Forget the hand-wavy protocol stuff for a second — one of the best things about embracing ActivityPub is that it sticks a crowbar into a single Voltron-ic product like Facebook or Twitter or Snapchat and pries it apart into its component pieces, each one ripe for innovation and new ideas.

@manton But I *like* the hand-wavy protocol stuff!

@evan Ha! Good, because this won’t work unless some of us are deep in the technical weeds too. 🙂

This is indeed a great article on Verge dealing with

- what Fediverse is

- what the benefits are of decentralised apps

- why ActivityPub will most likely become the standard for our future communication and social media.

Thanks for posting it here.
