@pierce with just how used to it people are with current social media I don’t think activitypub will Massively take off but it would be amazing if it did Imagine selfhosting your own mastodon instance and being able to interact with tumblr, instagram/pixelfed and youtube accounts (I forgot the name of the activitypub version) through the same instance 4 comments
IoT is the grey goo
Since both Dorsey and Musk have their fingers in this pie, I have to ask to what extent is atproto designed to push cryptocurrency?

@tasket @millions @pierce atproto usernames are straight up dns entries. read up on it. my atproto username is @mikebeas.com because i added a TXT record to my domain confirming ownership of it. now i can host my atproto data anywhere i want and my username will remain the same. usernames on the bsky.social domain are the same way. you can hold onto the username and move your data anywhere in the network you want. its all documented on their site and currently working in the beta. |

@millions @pierce activitypub will never catch on with the masses. it’s majorly flawed and inefficient. you can’t even move your account to a new server without losing your entire post history and changing your username.
atproto is the future of this stuff. truly portable identities that work with any apps built on the protocol, data you can move anywhere without losing your posts or username (which is independent of your host). it’s way more approachable for normal people.
