One of the funny things about ActivityPub is that we originally had a charter to develop a social API, with an option to make a social federation protocol.

The ActivityPub federation protocol has been very successful. The entire API is only implemented in a few projects, which I think is a mistake, but I hope to see improve over time.

Some people think the parts of the API not needed for federation drag down the spec, without realising that the protocol wouldn't exist without the API.
