Imagine if Mark Facebook decided to let someone else run a part of his website, as an experiment. Wild, right? Well, that's exactly what happened! Back in late 2022, Mastadon was invented by the Fedified project, run by Eugen Gargron in Holland, and this Mastadon website allows you, me or anyone to post to our Facebook walls from other websites. Activitypub can be thought of as the glue that connects Facebook to mastadon.social.
"But how does it work" you might ask, and that'd be a good question! It accomplishes this feat by installing a special browser toolbar which monitors your posts on other websites for the "Toot" keyword. When a "toot" is detected, it's copied to Facebook automatically, which is why you so often see posts ending in "Send toot."
I hope this helps! 😊
