   Right now if you want to talk to Mastodon or Pleroma or PixelFed or anything else which uses ActivityPub, you need a seperate, different set of code for each.  This is not the result of a standard.  A standard is ... well, *standard*.  A good standard means that any device, or in this case piece of software, which follows that standard, can communicate with any other.  That makes ActivityPub a very poor standard.  Parts that need tight specification are under-specified.  Parts that need looser specification are over-specified.  It's not worth implementing.

      But it's not about what's best, technically speaking.  It never is.  It's about what's popular, and I have to admit, they definitely got me there.
