   @mauve have you looked at #libp2p's gossipsub?

   I just started looking at it because MaidSafe are implementing support for it in #SafeNetwork and I'm wondering if it would be possible to implement support for #ActivityPub on top of #gossipsub.

   It would be amazing if this potentially widely used library were a way to link Safe and other #p2p networks to the #fediverse

   FYI I posted about this on the Safe forum and put some references in the OP directly above: https://safenetforum.org/t/gossipsub-what-dat/38718/2?u=happybeing

     @happyborg ActivityPub can use a transport protocol other than HTTPS (if you read the spec in a certain way). I wrote this document which describes self-authenticating activities:

     https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ae97/fep-ae97.md

     I think it's a good stating point for p2p-ActivityPub.

     @happyborg By the way, MaidSafe, is it that company from early blockchain days? I thought the project was long dead, but recently it started to appear again in the media. What going on there? Some kind of reboot?

     @silverpill This is awesome thank you. It's beyond me but looks promising so maybe there's something in this.

     I'll add it to the forum topic.
