Is ActivityPub a dead end or an alt extended universe? Are there plans to try and make FC a W3C recommendation or something? (Is W3C even the right standards consortium for crypto?) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub

W3C is a dead end at this point. Pace layering (and capture by large browser corps) makes it very hard to make changes there. Community bottom up standards seem to be blossoming well. AP is … fine, but overly HTTP URI centric, and highly DNS linked. I need to spend more time with the FC spec…

Issues with federated systems: 1/ No global namespace or services, making cross-server functionality clunky (just need to try it to see)

Interesting question. Crypto as in DLT/blockchains? or Cryptography? (half kidding) Not sure why they would purse a W3C recommendation unless they planned to target enterprises.
