Goals

• Implement the W3C ActivityPub Spec

More information

ActivityPub is a W3C standard for social networks to share posts in a federated system. It is important to note that ActivityPub is not a fully decentralized technology, but a Federated one. Posts are not sovereign to the creator but to their respective nodes, unless you run your own node.

At Minds, we believe in leveraging and experimenting with a diverse array of p2p and distributed frameworks across the spectrum of (de)centralization.

Pros / Cons

Pros	Cons
Wider reach of posts	Confusing usernames. ie. @mark@minds
Federated	Not as portable as assumed
	UX issues with visiting profiles
	Not clear how top content works
