The next time I'm about to moan and complain about how nobody directly implements activitypub apis "the standard way", I'll remember this article and be mollified.

As @abeorch@friendica.ginestes.es states, diversity is a strength when it comes to resisting capture.

@Jayjader @wisdomchicken Yeah its weird I never thought I would find myself arguing against standards but when you think about it that's what made the Internet so successful.
