ActivityPub is a protocol that federates social networks and apps with a "social side".

It is used by Mastodon and several other apps.

Implementing ActivityPub would make fact-checks be visible on other apps, hence driving users to CaptainFact.

Each CaptainFact account would then be an activitypub account, that anyone with an account on an activitypub-aware app can follow (with your mastodon account you can follow peertube accounts).

When a user does an action, the action is broadcasted as made by her account.

@machin Nope, I haven't developed anything implementing ActivityPub, mostly read and understood how some platforms use it. And seen that the community is vibrant.

ActivityPub represents very well "social network" things. Indeed more can be described, then it will be specific to CaptainFact and platforms that implement the same extensions, but will not be visible to every platform. The list of "activitypub things" is visible in the table of contents of https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/REC-activitypub-20180123/
