Ghost, the newsletter platform, has recently announced its support for ActivityPub, the open-source protocol that powers the fediverse. This move is expected to bring a significant number of users into the fediverse, including millions of people. The fediverse consists of various services like Mastodon, Flipboard, and Threads, all of which support the ActivityPub protocol. This aligns with the trend towards decentralized social media platforms that prioritize open protocols over closed networks. It’s akin to email, enabling communication across different apps and platforms.
Ghost’s decision to embrace the fediverse is part of its mission to revive the open web. Through this support, Ghost publishers will have the ability to engage with each other, follow, and like content on their own websites, similar to interactions on social networks.
