With ActivityPub protocol being accepted a W3C standard, I don't see a reason why a self-hosted blogging platform wouldn't implement it. Implementing ActivityPub in Ghost will bring following benefits to its users:
1) it will interconnect all Ghost instances into a cohesive network - self-hosted instances will no more be lonely places!; 2) it will allow Ghost to become a part of a wide social network of free and open-source self-hosted applications (like Mastodon, Pleroma, PeerTube, Plume, Hubzilla, Misskey, soon GNUSocial and Friendica and a lot of others). Mastodon alone brings at least 1000000 (a million) of users with its at least 4801 instances (as seen on https://mnm.social/); 3) Ghost itself will become more popular in consequence of 1 and 2.
Come join the fun!
