So I posted the original version of the article here. But on the republished version, where I actually found it, I made sure to leave a comment about activitypubs advantages.

I think the problem holding back the activitypub/fediverse as a genuine alternative option at the moment is a lack of collaboration and organisation bwtween us to develop and promote this as an alternative.

I've been slowly progressing an idea for an Association to address this hurdle in the Australia/Oceania context.

I actually just got the logo design preview for the association back today from a designer I've engaged. Looks mint! So I'm super energised about the whole thing!

If you're interested in being involved I can pm you the Matrix chat link to the details and we can talk more. I'd also genuinely love some help. 😃
