[$] Microblogging with ActivityPub
Tuesday November 29, 2022. 10:11 PM , from LWN.net
As of late, concerns about the future of Twitter have caused many of its
users to seek alternatives. Amid this upheaval, an open-source microblogging service called Mastodon has received a great deal of attention. Mastodon is not reliant on any single company or central authority to run its servers; anyone can run their own. Servers communicate with each other, allowing people on different servers to send each other messages and follow each other's posts. Mastodon doesn't just talk to itself, though; it can exchange messages with anything that speaks the ActivityPub protocol. There are many such implementations, so someone who wants to deploy their own microblogging service enjoys a variety of choices.
