Yes, if browsers understood ActivityPub then the whole world would change. I鈥檇 love that.
We鈥檇 need everyone on board, but Ms, Apple, and Google might follow if Mozilla and Vivaldi proved it would work.
That would require a working C2S API.
And all of that is years away 馃槱
I think we get there with incremental, evolutionary steps that prove the Fediverse is viable, and attract more non techies to the community.
@ Ben Pate 馃馃徎 In the words of a diaspora* developer, if Mozilla and Vivaldi "implemented ActivityPub", they'd actually "implement Mastodon". That'd mean catching more users with less effort than implementing vanilla ActivityPub and implementing features that Mastodon doesn't have. Besides, both used to have or still have a Mastodon server, but they don't seem to be aware that there's a Fediverse beyond Mastodon, much less what it's like and how it works.
In fact, they wouldn't even implement the ActivityPub C2S API at all. They'd implement the Mastodon client API and only the Mastodon client API.
