He he, yes it is true. Yet as others have remarked, they have a peculiar way of describing the :

@humanetech @EC_NGI Indeed, I agree that this peculiar quote is not doing justice to W3C ActivityPub at all, and could seriously confuse people.

I hope that they will want to make up for everything when they find out that this is not how it works. I'm sure quite some people will ping them about this - on whatever social medium they can...

Bad portrayal indeed. Corporate media has been suppressing even the mention of the fediverse for fear that once people are aware of it, they will be interested and jump in and get out of their grips. At least there was a mention here.

"Two months after Trump launched Truth Social, the European Union followed suit...."

The way the presentation of this information on the EU Mastodon projects was phrased is bizarre, vaguely slanderous.

There is an agenda behind this piece but I'm not sure what it is. I'm not convinced that Michael del Castillo of Forbes staff knows what it is either.

"60 niche social networks"... where did they get this number from? 🤔

Mastodon alone has over 3000 servers.
