Thanks for sharing this.

I’ve always felt the “social web” is, by nature, a multi-protocol effort,
ActivityPub and AT clearly have their place, and hopefully next year
Solid/LinkedWebStorage will join them as a W3C REC.

To me, the Social Web should be broader in scope, and over time I hope
SWICG can align to that bigger mission. ActivityPub itself already has a
dedicated CG, which seems like the natural future home for that specific
work. That would leave the SWICG as a welcoming intersection where the
different pieces meet, inclusive, diverse, and open to all.

Just my 2 cents
