Evan Prodromou, original creator of ActivityPub, which underpins Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse, has complicated feelings about the platform’s recent success, reports Richard MacManus.

“A lot of people are losing communities that are really important to their health, or psychological safety, or access to the world. So I am trying not to crow too much about how great it is that Twitter is having so many problems. At the same time, it really is exciting to see Mastodon taking off,” Prodromou says.

In the interview, Prodromou, who credits Mastodon’s current success to its “very pragmatic and user-focused development team,” led by Eugen Rochko, explains the history of the Fediverse and shares his ideas about what it could ultimately become.
