big boost to interoperability between different projects.
This was followed by the summer of activity pub, when the ecosystem
grew significantly with the birth of many projects, often centered on
-specific usecases.

+projects can interoperate with all of the existing fediverse users,

+ones that control most of its users, and here Debian could help.
