"content": "<!-- wp:paragraph {\"dropCap\":true} -->\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">The days of OStatus are numbered. The venerable protocol has served as a glue between many different types of servers since the early days of the Fediverse, connecting StatusNet (now GNU Social) to Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, and Pleroma.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Now that many fediverse platforms support ActivityPub as a successor protocol, Mastodon appears to be drawing a line in the sand. In <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/posts/mastodon-2-9-and-28121681\">a Patreon update</a>, Eugen Rochko writes:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:quote -->\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>...OStatus...has overstayed its welcome in the code...and now that most of the network uses ActivityPub, it's time for it to go. </p><cite>Eugen Rochko, Mastodon creator</cite></blockquote>\n<!-- /wp:quote -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The <a href=\"https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/11205\">pull request</a> to remove Pubsubhubbub and Salmon, two of the main components of OStatus, has already been merged into Mastodon's master branch.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Some projects will be left in the dark as a side effect of this. GNU Social and PostActiv, for example, both only communicate using OStatus. While <a href=\"https://mastodon.social/@dansup/102076573310057902\">some discussion</a> exists regarding adopting ActivityPub for GNU Social, and <a href=\"https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/activitypub/plugins/ActivityPub\">a plugin is in development</a>, it hasn't been formally adopted yet. We just hope that the <a href=\"https://status.fsf.org/main/public\">Free Software Foundation's instance</a> gets updated in time!</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->",
