How do I know capital is coming to ActivityPub? Because I've personally upped my investment during the past month -- and plan on allocating even more spend.
And I'm not even close to the richest guy using/developing ActivityPub.
If you're wondering where my capital is going, it's to:
1. Testing and hosting instance(s)
2. Paying devs for their dev work (yes, the Fediverse is mostly FOSS, but still)
3. Exploring how other tech can work with ActivityPub
@atomicpoet In some ways, capital already came. To host your own instance of Mastodon, Pleroma, PeerTube, Pixelfed, etc., you need to buy a server from a hosting provider and then configure the server yourself, or buy from something like https://masto.host to have them deploy the server for you. Now it's not just the instance, it's about who hosts the instance.

Some software is way easier to self host. If I ever start a personal instance it will be one of the more lightweight ones like gotosocial.
