@dmianDmian 🇪🇺 @scottjenson there’s a just kicking off UX research project (that Scott just became aware of) that is doing work on the best messaging for this.

Bluesky is one product but also a microblog data type (like ActivityPub Notes type that Mastodon and others implement).

You can choose your account host completely separate even from your app with ATProto, so it’s different.

@borisBoris Mann @dmianDmian 🇪🇺 @scottjenson this is something that was designed into ActivityPub and has largely been ignored. We're doing a lot of work on it at the W3C SocialCG group.
