Top Highlights

  • In ActivityPub, a user is represented by "actors" via the user's accounts on servers
  • These are endpoints, or really, just URLs which are listed in the ActivityPub actor's ActivityStreams description.
  • A server to server federation protocol (so decentralized websites can share information) A client to server protocol (so users, including real-world users, bots, and other automated processes, can communicate with ActivityPub using their accounts on servers, from a phone or desktop or web application or whatever)
  • the server recognizes that this is an object being newly created, and does the courtesy of wrapping it in a Create activity.
  • (Activities sent around in ActivityPub generally follow the pattern of some activity by some actor being taken on some object. In this case the activity is a Create of a Note object, posted by a Person)
