> Instead, they often implement platform-specific APIs, with a narrow range of functionality. Mastodon, for example, implements the Mastodon API, which focuses primarily on microblogging. Threads implements the Threads API. Many other ActivityPub implementers have APIs that clone the Mastodon API, to make it easier for users to adapt third-party Mastodon clients to their platforms.

That's really cool. Thank you so much for working on stuff like this, it makes a difference (you know 🙂

All of these platforms support the protocol but not the API (at least, not in read-write form).
