I've been getting a lot of requests lately, both in DMs and publicly, about implementing ActivityPub into AudioPub. I would like to address these requests here because I'm getting quite a lot of them.
AudioPub is going to stay independent. That's a decision I've carefully considered, and I believe it's the best path forward for the project's health.
When I open-sourced this project, it wasn't a step towards joining the Fediverse. It was about sharing the code, not changing AudioPub's fundamental nature. The open-source nature of the project does mean you have the choice to fork it and add federation yourself into your instance if that's something you're passionate about.
I like the community here, but the Fediverse culture isn't quite the right fit for AudioPub. Moderation would become overwhelmingly more complex for a single person or even if we get a team in the future. And honestly, it's just not the direction I want for this project.
I hope this clarifies my stance on the matter and the requests stop. Thank you for your understanding, and I'm willing to discuss this if you have something to say.
