Resilience and the Fediverse by adopting ActivityPub

[aschrijver]

More and more communities are considering becoming part of the decentralized Fediverse, where a unique open culture thrives, and where different applications/projects can seamlessly interoperate allowing people to self-host servers to build a more resilient common infrastructure. Recent examples are Hospitality Exchange platforms and Code Forges.

With ActivityPub federation a whole bunch of opportunities open up for MutualAid.World and countless related mutual aid (and gift circles, foodsharing, etc.) communities. It might allow any local group to spin up their own server and connect to a larger whole. Or join existing servers / communties that align to their values and goals. Meanwhile the resilience-app would provide a unified view of all the activity that takes place, and facilitate collaboration.

Have a look at current Watchlist of ActivityPub Apps in various stages of development, which is input to Fediverse Party. And if you're interested I'd invite you to post on SocialHub community, e.g. in the Fediverse Futures category, or to brainstorm on Lemmy (a new federated Reddit alternative).

(This is not a feature request, but more a consideration for a future project direction)
