It's times like this I wish ChatGPT was more up to date on all this lingo. Because I'm still scratching my brain about how things all interconnect. I'm sensing ActivityPub is like phpBB forum code back in the day with a modern twist.
Either way, I'm glad to find an alternative to reddit and see the system "fediverse?" start to grow.
I myself have blocked reddit at the router level to ensure I don't accidentally visit the site and give them any traffic - I haven't visited the site since the blackout started.
