# With all the recent talk of migrating to Mastadon, I was curious about the tech involved.

# The fediverse is going great … Hey @w3c, the test suite https://test.activitypub.rocks/ referenced in https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ sports a certificate expired in 2018. What's going on there? ( twitter.com/_/status/1588625317211516929)

# ↩️ The technology isn't all that fancy. It's the proprietary spam handling, moderation, etc. that make it work, so yeah, people. Would like to see an approach using open protocols like how Mastodon uses ActivityPub for social. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#social-web-working-group ( twitter.com/_/status/1588655336189464576)
