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.”
