Great interview. It'll be curious to see whether big platforms end up making a whole-hearted adaptation of ActivityPub this year as they have claimed they will.

Evan Prodromou, the research director at the Social Web Foundation and one of the people overseeing the ActivityPub protocol

It's interesting how they don't even mention that he was part of the small group of people who defined the protocol in the first place. I'm sure the Social Web Foundation is great, but it's not all that obvious what their role will be.
