So weird that no one mentioned https://micro.blog/
Which only after Mastodon was the second platform to adopt ActivityPub.

Not at all.

Why would that matter?

Several of you seem to be misunderstanding. When he says “like Twitter” it’s not in the negative ways you are thinking. It’s in the negative ways he’s thinking. Meaning censorship and being able to ban accounts. He doesn’t want that. Mastodon would have the same criticisms if he commented on it.

People are actually on BlueSky

There's now a decent measurement of user numbers (https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_users_total.html) ...

They've got about 1.6M MAUs ...
& 0.8M Weekly unique users & 0.340M Daily.

That's not nothing!

Roughly double mastodon and 60% more than the whole fediverse (by MAUs, see fedidb.org).

Bluesky is quite "international" with large Japanese and Brazilian popltns, and there's real attrition happening IMO.

Still, let the protocol wars begin I suppose?

Your knowledge is wrong. They opened up federation in February. There’s currently people from fedi that have Atproto PDS

The Fediverse will grow. Especially, with Threads joining and potentially Tumblr and Post.news. You’re right that the Fediverse we know will disappear. I believe there will and needs to be a great schism. You have strong actions of Lemmy and Mastodon that are anti Threads and anti growth, let’s call them small fedi. Then you have those that will federate with Threads and want the Open Social Web to become the major focus and how most people engage socially online, big fedi. You already have a culture with a lot of infighting and some fundamental incompatibilities, it will only get stronger. It’s best to separate now.

ActivityPub is not garbage, it’s just missing important aspects. Atproto is good that users get a global view, identity isn’t tethered to a PDS, custom feeds and not at the whims of an admin that can sever any relationships they have or that can delete their account.

People would run their own PDS for a couple of reasons, build their own communities, host their own data, their own moderation practices & policies, and maybe they don’t want the “big world” view

It is actively developed. Some forks are Firefish, Foundkey, Sharkey, IceShrimp

@dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml avatar

Very valid points. Medium and Substack will remain popular due to how easy it makes it

dameoutlaw ,
@dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml avatar

How would that work?

dameoutlaw ,
@dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s smart to offload the legally tricky parts. Versus here those fall onto admins

A new internet is forming (& Meta wants to control it) (yewtu.be)

A federated internet is forming. It's built on open protocols like ActivityPub & connects services like Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, Tumblr, Wordpress and more into a connected network known as the fediverse. And everyone from tech enthusiasts to Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey seem to want in.

You mean how people treat Mastodon.social?

There is also the Dot Social podcast

There will be two apps built on this framework out by the spring
