Bluesky, which uses it, has been opened to federation now, and the standard basically just looks better than ActivityPub. Has anyone heard about a project to make a Lemmy-style “link aggregator” service on it?

        Yep. What do you think the chances are you could write something that does the job of the router and app view, but in a totally off-standard, more point-to-point way?

        In the meanwhile, it’s just a matter of bridging, I guess.

      And they are either in for one of the following:

      • a $30 Million lesson where they learn that they will have to reinvent ActivityPub in order to be “properly” decentralized
      • a rug pull where they come up with a second relay like Bluesky but fork to give exclusive access for large institutions and the enterprise.

        It’s ridiculous they were asking for $30m to do something that ActivityPub already does. Wasted money that could have gone anywhere else

        There are important features that ATPro has that activity pub doesn’t. I’d prefer activity pub be the winner but they really need to improve some things. Namely, identity. Bluesky identity is more portable.

          Identity was already solved with Zot aka Nomad, which is part of the Fediverse and easier to implement than ATProto.

          It’s mostly been ignored because it’s just not that important to people, apparently.

            It’s not implemented in mastodon or lemmy though. I’m not saying it can’t be implemented, but it hasn’t been in any platform.

              No, but the software that implements it also implements ActivityPub, so you can get nomadic identity and also still interact with the rest of the Fediverse.
