Links to historical versions of the AS2 JSON-LD context document.

Discussion about shared inbox, replies, json-ld, etc.

[Video] "Four years later, while the fediverse plays host to a thriving community and unique culture, it remains a nonentity by the standards of social media giants. Why is this?

GitHub issue discussing how Webfinger and its relationship to ActivityPub.
