I interviewed @evan about creating #ActivityPub, his complicated feelings about Mastodon, and opportunities for #developers in the #fediverse. Needless to say, he has some excellent ideas for the fedi-future, so I do hope you read it. https://thenewstack.io/the-creator-of-activitypub-on-whats-next-for-the-fediverse/
thanks so much! This is a really strong article and pretty accurately reflects my thoughts and experience.

One quibble: I'm not sure I'd claim the title of "*The* creator of ActivityPub". @erincandescent@tsyesika@cwebber were all co-authors, and did way more of the hard work of standardisation.
@erincandescent@tsyesika glad you're getting huge recognition tho 😀
@tsyesika@cwebber@erincandescent oh, sorry. I can change that if you like — any suggested wording to use instead?
@tsyesika@cwebber@erincandescent

"The" -> "A" would probably be more accurate and make me feel less like I'm stealing the limelight
@tsyesika@cwebber@erincandescent to me "one of ActivityPub's creators" sounds the best, but that's just this random person's opinion 😀

Thank you! 🙏🏼 And thanks for your great writing on the topic. It's always a pleasure to read, and always something for me to learn.
amazing interview!
