To my understanding, it says that ActivityPub is dead in the water because it’s actually Mastodon driving it forward and that W3C is blocking progress on refining the protocol itself.
So there’s Mastodon, gaining new features, while ActivityPub is kinda frozen, at least officially.
Did I get this wrong?
