The Verge just interviewed Evan Prodromou. That is, @[email protected], Research Director at @[email protected], and co-author of #ActivityPub. And he shares some big news:

The W3C is working on end-to-end encryption for ActivityPub
The W3C is also working on group standards that have interoperability across the #Fediverse
Evan predicts a big 100M+ user network joining the Fediverse, and it’s not Threads

It's interesting that Evan Prodromou mentions groups, but doesn't mention Lemmy, Friendica or even the Guppe group implementation.

He's also weirdly overly warm to both Threads and BlueSky.

Evan’s job is to help build a standard implementation for groups for the W3C. He is also trying to pitch ActivityPub to organizations big and small.

I would honestly have been worried if the main people behind the protocol were busy trying to gatekeeep it.
