@packy If you want to know why they didn’t use ActivityPub after they considered it, here’s their own explanation of the shortcomings. techdirt.com/2023/04/28/six-mo

@MikeBeas but also, why aren't you including @atomicpoet in your replies? I mean, **he's** the one asking the question. I was just speculating on the answer.

Mike Beasley replied to Packy

@packy @atomicpoet oh I didn’t realize I had accidentally over written his user name

Chris Trottier replied to Mike

@MikeBeas @packy Except a protocol already existed that did the same thing: Zot. And arguably, it does nomadic identity better.

What’s more, you ActivityPub and Zot can be used together. This is what Hubzilla does.

Chris Trottier replied to Mike

@MikeBeas @packy Well, clearly you do because you talk on and on about how AT is totally new and innovative—but it’s not.

Nope! The Fediverse has had nomadic identity for years.

@atomicpoet @packy the blue sky team evaluate it all the options and decided none of them were good enough. I don’t care what you think. You’re not building anything

Christopher replied to Mike

@MikeBeas@mas.to
Unless you're on the team that did the evaluating, you don't know what BlueSky did or did not evaluate. Just what they've said.

@atomicpoet @packy bluesky has built something very cool, cooler than what we’re using here, and I’m just gonna use that and be happy

Chris Trottier replied to Mike

@MikeBeas @packy I mean it’s clear you believe Bluesky is the second coming of Christ and is offering blowjobs to all.

I’m not drinking your Kool-Aid.

Mike Beasley replied to Chris

@atomicpoet @packy I said they had a cooler protocol and activitypub. You gotta get over it.
