They have the co-creator of activity pub explaining everything, it's pretty great. https://flipboard.video/w/nLKq9MFfyMdLaqAmHtDUWj

I am going to reply to my other one, I don't want to do a switch and bait in case you don't like what I'm going to say:

ActivityPub is planning on having advertising, this isn't going to be an advertising free space. Towards the end, he talks about it. IMO, they think of the fediverse as like a small town with billboards, retail storefronts, houses, family gatherings, places to date (he mentioned he wanted dating sites to pop up), etc. That you can have one address for all of it and you control the reach. It sounds like, correct me if I'm wrong, it will depend on what instance you're on, but advertising can and will pop up. I'm not sure how any of that will work in the future, but I did want to mention it to prepare some people. It might be more quiet than pop-ups? I'm not sure.

I would imagine it should be easier to block as long as everything is playing by the same rules.

He did mention something like that in a vague way, so I didn't really know for sure what he was saying. I also think he has kind of a naive understanding of how these companies are going to go all in on trying to advertise the shit out of stuff so they can make more money, following the rules or not.

Yeah I definitely think they will also try to abuse it any way they can eventually.

I don't think he's here on lemmy, but from the interview, here's his tag https://cosocial.ca/@evan
