Don't you miss the days when the web really was the world's greatest decentralized network? Before everything got locked down into a handful of walled gardens? So do we.
Enter ActivityPub! ActivityPub is a decentralized social networking protocol based on the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format. ActivityPub is an official W3C recommended standard published by the W3C Social Web Working Group. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and subscribing to content.
Sounds exciting? Dive in!

We're so stoked to have you implementing ActivityPub! To make sure ActivityPub implementations work together, we have:
- A test suite: -- Make sure your application works right according to the ActivityPub standard.
- Implementation reports: -- See the implementation coverage of applications already implementing ActivityPub... or submit yours! Running the test suite will give you a report and instructions on how to submit it.
Looking to discuss implementing ActivityPub? You can join the #social IRC channel on irc.w3.org!
