   In a way, it’s a bit harder for me to talk about the values and design goals of ActivityPub. It happened in a larger standards group and involved a lot of passing of hands. I think if I were to be robust about it, I would also ask Evan Prodromou, Erin Shepherd, and Amy Guy to weigh in, and maybe they should; I think it would be nice to hear.

   The goal of ActivityPub to me, only partially realised in the decade since, was to function as a substrate to enable multiple social applications to exist within a single social graph; so that we could experiment with ideas other than (and perhaps radically different from) Twitter clones.

   In some ways I felt that the C2S API was more important than S2S - the original drafts of the spec made S2S optional, but mandated C2S. Its funny and in some ways unfortunate how that flipped.
