#APnative is my term for an "item" that is actually both an article (or other kind of content) and a social media post using the ActivityPub protocol. It can be read like a normal article or blog post...but also boosted, favorited and replied to on the fediverse or social web. The entire article itself can go viral, not just social media posts that link to the article. You can share the article itself with others, and not need to create a social media post that links to it on some corporate platform. The author retains both control of the work on their own site and can see all the boosts, favorites and replies in one place on their own site. True independence, forever.
We need to figure out the money, but this is a huge step forward. It's the killer app for the social web. It's the reason for creators to embrace decentralized social media. And with them, comes the people that love their work. This "item" was created with Ghost, but WordPress can do this too. Imagine all word publishing tools embracing it. Then podcasts, video and music too.
Publish on your site and your fans immediately see it and can share it and see it all on your site. All replies in one place. No middleman.
Making this the default for all media is why everyone needs to be on the fediverse.
