ActivityPub is the protocol that the Fediverse, which includes Mastodon, is built on. Nilay Patel, The Verge's EIC, has been talking about how the plan for The Verge is to federate more of their site for a while (you can hear him lay it out here), but so far none of that has happened publicly.

Will resolve YES if The Verge federates any part of the site through ActivityPub before May 1, 2024. The launch must come with a commitment to a semi-permanent feature. Launching a feature "in beta" is fine if it's a continual integration of any aspect of the site, but federating a few quickposts or a single liveblog as a test would not be enough to resolve YES. Just making an official account on Mastodon or another federated social media network also doesn't count; the integration needs to be come through the website. This is my first question post, so please feel free to question or critique my resolution criteria.
