The Efforts to Extend ActivityPub
The Efforts to Extend ActivityPub
ActivityPub has fostered a social web for millions of people. To grow, some developers believe it needs improvement. These are their efforts.
ActivityPub has remained the dominant Fediverse protocol over the past few years. In that time, many bright ideas have come on how to improve the spec. Here's where those efforts are today.

Can we get this with the A-Teams theme song? I feel like that would really help :)
I feel like it goes with the law and order cadence too lol
Yeah. Absolutely!
One thing I miss in activitypub is a verification system. This is most important for deletion. For example, when something is deleted on one instance, there's no way of knowing for sure if it will be deleted from other instances as well. An instance being down or malfunctioning can cause deletion to fail with no way to know* and try again for op.
*To know one would have to check every single subscribing instance. Trying to delete an already deleted item is obviously impossible
I think the fediverse should take something from C++ playbook, it toke forever for the C++ 11 standard to be created but after the standard C++ foundation started getting significant funding which it used to fund work on standards the pace of publishing standards became a lot faster.
