Can Activ­i­ty­Pub save the inter­net? (David Pierce, The Verge, yes­ter­day)

I’m hope­ful, and would answer yes! Own­ing your own domain name should be the norm:

“But the advice you’ll hear from most peo­ple in this space is this: own your own domain. Don’t be john@/mastodon.social or anna@/facebook.com. Have a space that is yours, that belongs to you, a user­name and iden­ti­ty that can’t dis­ap­pear just because a com­pa­ny goes out of busi­ness or sells to a mega­lo­ma­ni­ac.”
