I don’t like the clickbait title at all – Mastodon’s clearly going to survive, at least for the forseeable future, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it outlives Xitter.
Still, Mastodon is struggling; most of the people who checkd it out in the November 2022 surge (or the smaller June 2023 surge) didn’t stick around, and numbers have been steadily declining for the last year. The author makes some good points, and some of the comments are excellent.
@nate I attempted to locate AP plugin for hubzilla but could not, not in the addons, not mentioned on the hubzilla site, and could not find with gargoyle search. Can anyone tell me where to obtain?
@nanook “Pubcrawl” is what you’re looking for. Probably not the best SEO optimized name if you don’t know it by name, but works well afaik.

@nate Thanks but no. Pubcrawl is the ActivityPub protocol, I’ve got that and it talks to Friendica fine. What I am looking for is the plugin to talk to ATproto used by Bluesky.
