ActivityPub Rocks!

Don't you miss the days when the web really was the world's greatest decentralized network?  Before everything got locked down into a handful of walled gardens?  So do we.

Enter ActivityPub!  ActivityPub is a decentralized social networking protocol based on the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format. ActivityPub is an official W3C recommended standard published by the W3C Social Web Working Group.  It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and subscribing to content.
Sounds exciting?  Dive in!

~= Hey, Implementers! =~We're so stoked to have you implementing ActivityPub!  To make sure ActivityPub implementations work together, we have:
	Guide for new ActivityPub implementers --  Community edited and unofficial, but useful!
	A test suite: -- Make sure your application works right according to the ActivityPub standard.
	Implementation reports: -- See the implementation coverage of applications which implemented ActivityPub during the standardization process.
