I have the feeling that Activity Pub and other new 'protocols' have a different meaning of the term 'protocol'. I mean these APIs and services would not be handled by the IETF. Or do I miss something? #Fediverse#ActivityPub
Imho AP serves more as a kind of "protocol framework", and it still must be completed to be fully production-ready. Current early adopters are all working with alpha versions and flavours thereof.
