@bradenslen it'll be cool and interesting if so, given that the tech behind fediverse arguably inherits from a 2000s effort to federate blogs... RSS/Atom with what's now called WebSub, Activity Streams originally building on that to accommodate non-blog use-cases (new verbs) and then eventually dropping Atom in favor of JSON, and ActivityPub instead of WebSub.
I'm curious and excited to see what a fresh take on the original problem will look like!
