Like Christine, I think the future of the fediverse will look quite different to the current Mastodon-dominated network, and more like the user experience offered by BS;

The raw materials already exist to build this evolution of the verse. The question is, how do we pull it all together?
(6/6)
Coda: The growth of BlueSky, and the novel features it launches with, point to a need for a 2.0 version of ActivityPub. One that fleshes out and updates the protocol based on dev experiences in the first decade of active use, and intentions going forward.
Ideally an AP 2.0 would include a formal mechanism for protocol extensions. One that learns from the experiences of the FEP process.
