The next great social network is just the Web
summary
Claims that the Web already provides a federated social layer: ActivityPub (W3C adopted 2018) plus Activity Streams JSON turn any site into a followable profile; implement WebFinger to resolve usernames, publish an outbox/inbox and store subscribers, then POST activity JSON to subscribers’ inboxes. Static pages can generate profiles and outboxes, while a server implements inbox handling and persistence. Comparison to SMTP and the existence of small community servers demonstrate concrete tooling and a working federation model.
