Why has #Strava not embraced #ActivityPub? It doesn't seem like at all a stretch to have the private/followers-only/everyone model map to strava.social fedi visibility.

For that matter, why aren't #Komoot or #GarminConnect jumping on the opportunity? Seems like easy way to promote both fitness and their own apps.

@The_KamikaZEN @osma @fediverse If e.g. Komoot and Ride with GPS would collaborate on becoming interoperable for let's say sharing, liking, and comments, they might sway some users away from Strava with the promise of being more open. But tbh, the amount of users migrating would probably still be small, and Strava absolutely rules that industry by network effect.

It's a lot of investment from whoever implements AP, and not much to gain. I think this has to start in the opensource community.
