Bluesky Early Access Federation for Self-Hosters

My feelings about it aside, are there any technical benefits to ATproto over ActivityPub?

Upon a cursory read, it sounds like you host a server and then relay all of your data through their centrally controlled system all while also pushing your account data to them.

I'm not sure they understand what "federated" means. Or rather, they know, but they're hoping we don't care.

Federated means you shoulder the cost of hosting the bits users care about, while they harvest all the value in what you post!

Soooo…. the work of self-hosting with none of the benefits? It sounds like this has all the core problems of Twitter.

TLDR; Sorta federation. It is possible to selfhost data.

ATproto and activityPub aren't compatible are they? So we still need to wait for a bridge.

there is a bridge, but some parts of the fediverse got very mad about it

<Sanders meme.jpg> I am once again asking for a fucking blurb describing the fucking tool when you've got fucking news to share.

Notice how nothing has changed about the in-app experience? 😎

Are users... scared of federation?
