Our second episode of The Fediverse Files is out now. It's an interview with @evan, the co-author of #ActivityPub, about the future of the #fediverse. Tune in to learn how open protocols like ActivityPub make the web more open and user-centric. https://youtu.be/nLqwKph7Sxk?si=tT6ix1yuQAfNXj8H #FediverseFiles

If any developers enjoyed our interview and would like to learn more about building social apps in the #fediverse, I highly recommend @evan's new book on #ActivityPub (published by @OReillyMedia). More info here https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/activitypub/9781098162733/

I enjoyed this and it was very helpful for helping me, someone who understands RSS but only kiiiinda ActivityPub, get a clearer picture of it. Also I only know Evan from Masto and he has a different sounding voice than I was expecting! Thanks for doing this.

@jessamyn right on, thanks so much for watching! I'm a big fan of RSS (in case you couldn't tell) and thinking of #ActivityPub as a two-way version of #RSS really helped me wrap my ahead around it.

@jessamyn It also made me realize that my email analogy (you don’t need a Gmail account to email with someone at Gmail) is doomed by familiarity. Everyone knows what email is, but while everyone knows podcasting, they don’t all know RSS. “This powerful tech has been right under your noses, and this new powerful tech is quite similar,” goes much further.

@jessamyn you should bring your bear head to Montreal! Or the Townships. You're always welcome.
