Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
The article announces the release of the ActivityPub Fuzzer, a tool designed to help developers build social media software on the Fediverse using the ActivityPub protocol. The fuzzer uses data from the Fediverse Schema Observatory to emulate known Fediverse software, solving the problem where developers previously had to manually test compatibility with dozens of other projects. It runs in local development environments and can emulate public data streams or send messages formatted from every known version of specific software.
