I’ve happily found that there is much more interaction here than on Mastodon :)

I don’t think you’re saying much

I like it

New sewer pope

Hint: They went well beyond justified methods a long time ago

Thanks for the explanation. I hope that the fact they’ve set out to create it in the first place shows their intention to open source it - it would be a 180° villain arc move not to

Many thanks for sharing this, I will read it and then come back with my thoughts!

Are you saying the AT Protocol is not self-hostable, or that BlueSky isn’t? Because if it’s possible to create a BlueSky competitor that uses the AT Protocol, then this criticism isn’t valid. If someone can in theory create an open source BlueSky clone, then it seems like it renders Activity Pub redundant. I’m genuinely curious, I have been trying both out for a while.

Could someone explain the criticism of BlueSky to me, i.e. that it’s less decentralised? Isn’t the AT Protocol set up in such a way that you could build your own social network using it, meaning you can interact with BlueSky users without being one yourself?

As I understand it, the critical flaw with Mastodon and Lemmy etc is that if I delete something on my profile it isn’t guaranteed to be deleted on other servers - that is unfortunately unacceptable in the long run for most people. And account portability isn’t clean, and you are at the whim of your server operator. How is it better?
