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

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
951·6 months agoSeveral 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.
Why would that matter?
Not at all.
Very valid points. Medium and Substack will remain popular due to how easy it makes it
It is actively developed. Some forks are Firefish, Foundkey, Sharkey, IceShrimp
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
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.
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.
Your knowledge is wrong. They opened up federation in February. There’s currently people from fedi that have Atproto PDS
How would that work?
It’s smart to offload the legally tricky parts. Versus here those fall onto admins
1·9 months agoYeah, I felt it was so loaded. I’m so ready for the game. I felt dumb not connecting the synergy attacks with Advent Children. It literally hit me while watching the State of Play today.
You mean how people treat Mastodon.social?
What are you guys hoping to see today?
3·9 months agoYeah, people don’t really care about decentralisation nor federation. People want an easy experience where everyone is
The very last part of this blogpost https://activitypods.org/the-road-to-activitypods-2-0
There will be two apps built on this framework out by the spring
There is also the Dot Social podcast
That’s actually a misconception. This blogpost touches on that https://privacy.thenexus.today/black-twitter-quoting-and-white-toxicity-on-mastodon/ This discusses studies https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2023/01/12/quote-tweeting-over-30-studies-dispel-some-myths/?ref=privacy.thenexus.today Also, the Fediverse largely has already have this feature on other platforms and there’s been no mention of toxicity levels increasing. In fact Mastodon has a feature that is actually a known tool for toxicity and harassment which is the PM (Private Mention) feature. I’ve yet to see people call for it to be removed but that’s mostly due to only Black and Brown folks complaining about how they’re harassed via PMs. Others typically dismiss their claims.
