After seeing all those social media CEOs suck up to #Trump, something has become obvious. This medium matters to democracy, and only #ActivityPub lets journalists set up their own servers and give the people total say over what stories go viral. Nobody can shut down hashtags or links, remove an account, shadowban or modify what shows up as trending. Even #bluesky retains these powers with their relay.
