…or BlueSky could stop being lame af and integrate activitypub.
except atproto solves a ton of problems that activitypub refuse to fix, especially around portability
ActivityPub doesn’t refuse to fix them, it’s just not that simple. Solutions have been worked on for a while.
Can you give examples please?
Much cheaper if somebody else does it for you 🧠 By the power of opensource!
Tbf I think the way its federation works is inherently incompatible.
I could be entirely wrong though
Federate, you cowards!
Unlike Threads, there’s people on BlueSky I actually want to follow.
They should have been giving their money to Bridgy Fed, which is working to bridge the actual content of social media rather than the app APIs.
Well, actually, I would much rather Bridgy remains independent from Dorsey’s blood money. Bluesky should just enable federation on a large scale so that it’ll actually be possible to build services around it. Right now they cap federated instances at ten users, which is a complete joke.
i believe they’ve endorsed bridge fed before; i’m not sure what the legalities of grants are and/if bridge fed asked for it
They are federating since February
theyre sinking too much money trying to avoid using activitypub
What’s the point? Mastodon should work with them but they shouldn’t work with mastodon?
Fun fact:
The entirety of bluesky was supposed to be an activity pub extension at some point.
So confused that skybridge is now getting all the media attention lol. Its been around for over a year and hasnt been updated for 3 months. It works fine, its just that nobody actually bothered to use it. Not really clear how 800 dollars is going to make a difference here.
They couldve just checked the repo lol.
It basically works with nothing to a reasonable extent on Android.
Fuck Billionaires.
The biggest weakness of using activityPub is it is harder to control compared to rolling out your own incompatible variant.
Talking about that, can Lemmy users now check Mastodon ? I’d be curious to try it out although I don’t know who to follow really
You mean from your Lemmy account? Some things federate between Mastodon and Lemmy but I’m not sure if you can follow people
Checked but couldn’t find it yet
But you can follow Lemmy accounts from Mastodon
