Happy 7th anniversary of becoming an official W3C standard, ActivityPub!

w3.org/news/2018/activitypub-i

We're creating something truly special here with the fediverse, and I am so thankful for everyone who contributes to it, whether with your time, money, or just by sharing your thoughts, your creations, your silly little jokes. Keep it up!

W3CActivityPub is now a W3C RecommendationThe World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards.

And I must also acknowledge the challenges we're dealing with here. I'm just begging everyone to be cool if you see someone using the fediverse a bit differently than what you're used to, or goes on a bit of a rant to vent a minor frustration, or asks a rhetorical question.

Not everything requires a response.

If you mostly agree with a post, give it a like/star/whatever, and move on with your life. If you disagree, but the person isn't hurting anyone, then the post is not for you.

I just want the fediverse to be a safe place we can share together, where people can come to be themselves, and where we can connect and help each other. We all need this.

@stefan Amen Stephan. I have perfected the art of writing a response, looking at it and then deleting. I get whatever promoted the response out of my system and that’s enough. Took me awhile to get the hang of the delete key. 😉

@MiriShuli Ha, yeah, definitely something people have to actively practice.
