Recipe for a fast and easy open social web. A lot of interop can be attained quickly by connecting the input and output of each distinct network to other networks that don’t currently interop via inbound and outbound RSS. ActivityPub and AT Proto are not optimal. Too complicated. RSS is simple and lightweight and has has 20+ years of burn in. Lots of familiarity, and lots of working code. And WordPress is built around it and imho that is going to matter. When people get really serious about interop, and are willing to sacrifice a little personal glory, there’s a very good compromise available.
