 I have no idea how activitypub works or what it is. And now I’m no longer afraid to ask it!

Explain it to me like I’m 5 👦

 Write posts, notes, and other stuff, and they get sent to your followers.

 But how is it different from writing notes in a client?

 No different.  ActivityPub lets you write notes in a client, then sends it to your followers.  It uses an inbox and outbox to send and receive.

 And why do I see some notes that have an “activity pub” kind of badge then?
