No.

ActivityPub is a protocol. It has no agency.

People can save the Internet. Perhaps with ActivityPub, perhaps with something else.

@ttmrichter @KelsonV Something with no agency can save something just by existing. Saving is not an act exclusive to things with agency. For example, if I fell out of a building, a trampoline on the ground could possibly save me.
