@smallcircles @manlycoffee what I would ideally like to have is a layered #activitypub approach (its core, mantle, crust if we use a geological analogy) where each additional layer provides enhanced functionality and eventually things split into continental plates that do their own specialties.
At the very core it could be something very simple, e.g., servers ping each other, exchange actor lists, basically just establish what the network is. Next level support #rss type notifications etc.
