You could take another approach and consider that activitypub has problems that aren’t being solved, and maybe a fresh start by smart devs, which they are, might get us to a better place sooner.

@not2b @davew @aral That's right. It's just decentralized storage. You can store your data on your server, you hold your name through the domain possession, but we (BlueSky) are ultimately in control who you connect with.

@davew Smart devs, a billionaire, venture capital… hmm, where have I heard this song before? Sorry, Dave, as far as Jack goes, fool me once… |
@davew @aral Perhaps; there are certainly issues with ActivityPub. But correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that the BlueSky approach to federation keeps BlueSky as the central authority. While that can simplify some issues, given previous experience with billionaire owners of social media platforms it isn't comforting.
