     ActivityPub uses ActivityStreams, which uses JSON-LD, which combines the best of both worlds

     And by that I mean it makes json people angry and it makes linked data people angry

     ActivityPub, also known as "ActivityStreams", is just like a spoken language. Subject Predicate Object. It's pretty simple! Except we have Actor Activity Object, which are the same thing. And they're modeled in RDF, which is Subject Predicate Object.

     So it's like language squared

     ActivityPub? It's like decentralized Twitter. But before that guy bought it. And nothing like that at all. So forget I said anything

     ActivityPub is a protocol for when you're supposed to be writing your keynote for Fediforum about the future of ActivityPub and instead you post messages over ActivityPub joking about ActivityPub to procrastinate (me RN)

     "The fediverse", aka the Mastodon Protocol, aka the network everyone pointed to when social media corporations did bad things until Bluesky came along and decentralized everything

     ActivityPub: a great protocol to implement halfway and then work on something else and say "oh yeah, I should get back to my ActivityPub protocol written in <foo>"

     @cwebber In the spirit of your call for joke explanations, I'd like to elaborate on my contribution above. I don't really know what the deal is with mastodon Notes, but I saw a remark that reminded me of a little known interview with my friend Game Developer David Lynch where he explains how fill rate works, so I was riffing on that. #explainexplainap

     @cwebber sure but how's it pronounced? Is the emphasis on the first T or the second T? and the P or the UB?

     acTivity-Pub, activiTy-Pub, acTivity-pUB, or activiTy-pUB

     Also is the "pub" part pronounced short or long. is it like Activity-Pub (short), Activity-Pube (long1), or Activity-Pubbb (long2), or Activity-Pubbo (long3)

     or am I meowing up the wrong spec totally?
